>Microsoft has announced that it is bringing its latest API, DirectX 12, to Windows 7 and the first game that can take advantage of it is World of Warcraft.

>Microsoft has also stated that it is currently working with a few other game developers to port their D3D12 games to Windows 7, and it will make further announcements about these plans in the near future.

>Microsoft claims that the best DirectX 12 performance will always be on Windows 10, and that’s because Windows 10 contains a number of OS optimizations designed to make DirectX 12 run even faster.

I guess it's a good thing but I can't help to wonder why they're doing this now. Aren't there only like 6 DX12 only games? How long until WINE has support for DX12?

Looking further into this it looks like they're only backporting it in certain games right now. Watch them be Jews about it and not backport the one game people actually want.

This, it makes zero sense under any rationale I can conceive of. If they wanted to make a gesture to normalfag holdouts, allowing manual updates on all editions of Win10, or opt-out of some telemetry would've made infinitely more sense.

Bold move. Maybe the pajeet CEO is a little based. The fact that they forced 10 upgrade was during ballmer's time.

Either way I'd care if it was DX12 for wine/reactos.

At least they learned something with the Vista-exclusive DX10 some time back.

LTSB with telemetry off? From what people have been able to determine, yes. But I doubt even if M$ did make a big deal out of officially adding such options to other editions, that they would actually remove all the snooping.

No. It's a trap laid for devs to go into the MS only shithole again.

Vulkan has better performance (even on Windows) and is cross-OS

t. Windows user

>>1042901

I don't think so.

The difference between W10 and 7 is small. Backporting shouldn't be a problem at all.

>Maybe the pajeet CEO is a little based.

Based and upboated he is.

The russian vid with the PNGs is fake stupid. Doesn't make it less of a surveillance OS.

Stop making up bullshit just because you don't understand it.

Look. If vidya becomes available on all OSs again, no one will use their OS anymore.

The legacy bridge can easily be bridged by the Wine project.

People care about accessibility of new things the most. If they're all on Linux using Vulkan for /v/idya and LibreOffice for work, M$ won't get any good goy shekels.

Nah, he's still a dirty currynigger sociopath (oxymoron I know).

They won't be releasing a general purpose DX12 runtime installer. Support will be embedded in only a few select games,and only for Windows 7, no 8 or 8.1 - though I expect the community might be able to hack in support for these versions, too.

Unless this changes and they release a general purpose DX12 installer that's also compatible with 8 and 8.1, pajeetsoft is not based at all.

They very obviously did this because of dxvk.

Dxvk would've allowed for windows 7 users to run what should've been exclusive windows 10 games and since dxvk was getting popular and was supported by one of the biggest game license vendors (steam) it's obvious to maintane a proprietary grip hold on graphics they needed to backport it to windows 7, cause no one in their right mind was going to upgrade to windows 10 when dxvk would allow them to do basically the same thing on windows 7.
