It's all in the terminology. Many older cards 'fully support' DX12 but no card on the market today is fully DX12 compliant.
That simply means many NVIDIA / AMD cards will be able to run games using the DX12 API but currently no dedicated GPU will use it's full feature set.

I'm not trying to convince anything, gaming is a sport as defined by a dictionary... Of course gaming is not an official sport.
You think "purely of semantics" weakens my argument, when my point is about the meaning of the word sport (aka semantics).
So thanks for proving my point.
'the actual "fact" is that gaming is not a sport."
Look up the word SPORT:

What a load of nonsense. Snooker is a sport without physical exertion or national teams, Darts is a sport. Gaming competitively is a sport, in fact anything competitive is literally a sport.
The author is mistaking mass recogonised sports with the definition of the term. Annoys me to no end when people can't use simple logic and a dictionary to stir up debate. Fact is the presumtion of this article is completley inaccurate, so how can one even have a sensible debate a...
I take it you don't realise Microsoft is an ISP?
The internet is peer-to-peer, companies like MS, Google and Amazon with large server networks don't pay a commerical business to connect to the internet.
These big companies pay the government (or respective controller) to plant their own lines into the grid from their datacenters, and use their own DNS servers to connect to other servers (aka the internet).
You could literally rent a l...
"empathy was the building block currently missing from game development"
That's her argument in a nutshell, it's nothing to do with 'innovation'... as others have already said above this is in fact the time of most innovation I've seen in the gaming industry.
Obviously doesn't realise she can only speak for herself, and represent a simliar demographic. Thing is, that demographic is far from the majority.

Great game, good swordplay, makes you laugh a lot, it's a game I always go back to for a burst of medieval fun.
Buy a desktop PC and get the best gaming experience with cheap games and free multiplayer.
If you're against that for whatever reason get a PS4, same price as Xbox and better at playing games.
All that confirms is NVIDIA DX11 drivers are in a whole different league than AMD.
DX12 supports Asynchronous Compute, AMDs GCN cards support Asynchronous Compute on the hardware, Nvidia cards do not... so they need to emulate it via drivers.
DX12 is delayed 2 days from release (after SW clearly hyping it's gains), the following day we find out maxwell cards do not support a-sync on a hardware level.
Few weeks later NVIDIA release their n...
I've had a blast playing it, fantastic gameplay, feels like an epic star wars battle. I'll definitely be buying the game. It's not perfect however I feel it's battlefield re-skinned (albeit very well done) regardless of what the developers say, isn't going to be a game I'll play non-stop, but still good enough to keep going back to for some star wars fun with friends.
Runs fantastically on my PC, not once dropping below 60fps. I downloaded the X1 ve...
Runs at 70fps on ULTRA 1080p on a GTX770, with V-sync on its a rock solid 60fps. I'm really impressed at how well optimised this game is.
Far Cry 4 left a sour taste, solid game, but it did nothing more than Far Cry 3 IMO.
I'll likely play Primal for a similar timeframe, 30/40hours then get really bored.
I'd recommend ARK: Survival Evolved for an open world dino game, it's does so much more.
I just think Studio Wildcard doesn't want to publically out NVIDIAs BS.
The gap between AMD and NVIDIA must be so huge that it would be really damaging.
I really wish Studio Wildcard would just release as is and allow AMD GPUs to shine, I'm sick of NVIDIAs underhand tactics.. I say that as a NIVIDA owner.
"Its funny how PC spec-spitters brag about the leap in graphics without mentioning the leap in price."
I bought a GTX770 i7-4790 PC for £475 last year, soon after paying £429 for a X1. It has around 3x the performance.
Got another GTX970 PC recently that cost £700, it's 5x more powerful than the Xbox.
I don't know about you, but the math tells me the PCs were much better value.
OT: 720p is...
Knew N4G was okay (no warning on hosted pages) but had me thinking dualshockers had malware.
Thanks for letting us know it's all click-outs due to older links, didn't even know Google blocks all external links in these cases.
Glad you guys are safe, it's no fun manually removing malicious code.
The FOV problem is more to do with AR (or mixed reality), in VR you just black out the peripheral vision, with AR it would be like looking though a tiny hole in a cardboard box.
If you had to choose between the small hole or the limited FOV you'd pick the latter every single time.
For a full FOV you'd need curved bubble microdisplays covering each eye that track the eyes movement and changes the focus of both images in real time to exactly where you&#...
Please tell me more about how 'cloud compute' are a PR buzzwords, and which public dedicated servers have been sending send real-time computations back to clients (which result in orders of magnitutde greater computation ability).
Give me a more accurate term than cloud compute to describe this use powerful dedicated servers computating, sending that data back to the client, and have the client render that information into a live running system.

I know this isn't the most objective community, but damn talk about delusion.
The only 'spying' which can not be turned off is error reporting (present in all modern Windows versions, just not automatic). The other ones literally can be turned off in 1min.
