DX12 and Vulkan are here, can we stop pretending like it's some pipedream that no one has ever heard of?What? How about AMD not shooting themselves in the foot and launching cards that got favorable reviews. When 390/390X/ launched Vulkan and DX12 was a list of games "wait for them" that circulated. There was relatively zero DX12 games at that launch point.
Even the famous "Battlefront will change things" turned into a "wait for the DX12 patch." I can go on only because that list was regurgitated to me so much watching it get tattered was amusing.
AMD put out a product that had favorable reviews and wasn't being consumed by bitminers and best not being cannibalized by 2nd hand sales. Result - marketshare gains.
We're almost at mid-2016, can we give it a rest with the "DX12/Vulkan will change everything" until it actually happens. 10-12 games is not going to change anything. No matter how much the select few here want to believe.
Biggest games recently released sport it, BF1, Deus Ex, WatchDogs 2 are upcoming big games of the year and all 3 are slated to support it. DX12 is a foregone conclusion.
