Maximum PC: An executive working for Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) doesn't believe DirectX 12 will ever see the light of day. His name is Roy Taylor and he's the Vice President of Global Channel Sales for the Sunnyvale chip designer that's very much involved in PC graphics hardware and software. AMD is on the front lines, so to speak, so it's interesting to hear someone from the company say that DirectX is dead in the water.
AMD has launched their Radeon RX 7900 GRE graphics card in the west. Can thew new cards be GREat though? Tony the Tiger in the house.
It's time to give your setup the upgrade of its lifetime with this Cyber Monday AMD Ryzen 7 5700X Cyber Monday deal.
Amazon is currently offering the historic lowest-ever price on the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 CPU for a limited time.
i doubt dx11 is the last version we'll see...
I also wonder if something was lost in translation. Either way, it'd be surprising if Microsoft ditched DX at this time.
Shame really.
DX Needs to die.
I think software is several years ahead of hardware (maybe partially do to consoles stalling using dx9). Dx11 is going to be the standard in sony and ms next gen consoles. And I think dx11 will be much more fully used/optimized by pc's. Mind u dx11 was released a few years ago. There wouldn't be much point to releasing dx12 for at least another 5 years since it wouldnt even be used.
Can we kick windows to the curve?? I hope so!
I think between amd talking like this and making an arm cpu and Nvidia working on it's own arm cpu they both will take OpenGl more serious now.
