From GDC 2016: DirectX 12 can unlock incredible performance in your games and help you build your content pipelines for the future of gaming (including 4K), which we will demonstrate using real-world examples. We will cover the key concepts to get your existing DirectX Game ported to DirectX 12 and looking great and up and running as quickly as possible.
At GameStack Live, Microsoft announced and released the new DirectX 12 Agility SDK, which delivers DX12 Ultimate features to a larger base. There will benefits for Xbox, too.
Pretty cool. Should help devs adopt more modern rendering techniques on both PC & Xbox rather than have to target old versions to cover the majority of their users.
I saw a report that the new Windows update causes a performance decrease in gaming performance.

According to the release notes, the NVIDIA GeForce 451.48 WHQL driver adds full support for the DirectX 12 Ultimate graphics API. Additionally, this driver supports Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling when used with the Windows 10 May 2020 Update."

I’ve noticed they do this as well.
I wonder how they legally get away with stealthily resetting all the privacy settings to allow tracking and monitoring without notifying you. It was only by chance I noticed it last time.
I think you’re misunderstanding what happens. All your windows settings remain untouched, it doesn’t change any of your settings accept Those related to your privacy. So all those privacy settings you agreed not to share during the installation and other privacy terms that you agreed not to share, within the privacy options page, even your offline linked windows accounts. It secretly enables all of those options without notifying you that it’s changed your selected options that both parties had agreed to. I don’t think they’ll be allowed to continue to do that under GDPR laws so we’ll see if it happens again. However unfortunately for me being in the UK, we won’t have GDPR laws for much longer after we leave the EU.
Crash restart lockup repeat. Windows. Wonder what will happen to people who take health advice from its creator.

I don't have any problems, so the issue is probably someone who thinks Bill Gates has anything to do with the development of Windows in its current form.
"My PC sucks" = "Bill Gates' billions and billions of investment in vaccines and cures will kill you"?
As a note: WDDM 2.7 requires you to have updated drivers (which currently no official WQHL driver w/ support is available for Nvidia yet. Only development branch 450.xx). Also you need a 7th gen or newer Intel CPU w/ igpu, or a 10 series or newer Nvidia GPU, or latest AMD offerings.
Last time I update, the ethernet driver wasnt available so no matter what (even factory reset) I can't go online. The only way to update is to go online lol. Well I always wanted an offline laptop, so I guess got what I wish for :/
Use wifi (or tether to the device your posting from now) and download the driver.
Excellent video nice surprise that HDR is coming to windows 10 for gaming too! They say they are using the HDMI standard for HDR so that means HDMI 2.0 so in order for XB1 to get it they need new Sku with HDMI 2.0(a). If you have HDMI 2.0 GPU it can get upgraded to HDMI 2.0A only HDMI 2.0 can get upgrade not HDMI 1.4 as it not supported due to bandwidth limitation. These brings more credence to a new XB1 sku.
So we looking at 1st or 2nd quater 2017 for DX12.1 games by then could be DX12.2
Why am I watching this even though I have no idea what any of this implies? C99/sddlib compat ... wohoo!
