How DirectX 12 Will Affect Gaming

By Mike MahardyAt the live Windows 10 event held by Microsoft today, details of the upcoming DirectX 12 API were revealed.


DirectX 12 will supposedly give more control to developers, with more complexity and better frame rate performance, Microsoft's Phil Spencer said. DirectX 12 also cuts the power consumption of DirectX 11 in half, allowing more mobile devices to run "high-end" mobile games.

Additionally, Spencer announced that Unity has adopted DirectX 12. Games such as Fable Legends will be able to use the programming interface to allow cross-platform play between Windows 10 PC and Xbox One owners.
DirectX is Microsoft's collection of programming interfaces for gaming and video, and was first released in 1995 as the Windows Games software development kit. Adoption of DirectX was initially slow, but DirectX 2.0 eventually became a component of Windows 95.
IGN has a complete wrap up from today's Windows 10 reveal, including a look at a holographic version of Minecraft.
