The Titan is DX12 compatible:-)

[Peregrinus]

I think I would probably get this instead of a Titan.   http://www.newegg.co...0-700-_-Product

[GODzilla]

I usually buy the card that gives me the most for my money but I have to admit that I kinda tend towards Nvidia. While I don't like their narrow-minded approach to technology and exclusive support for certain software and effects, I do admire the result.

 

PhysX! It began in Borderlands 2 - unfortunately the only game with truly impressive and widely used PhysX-effects to date. I started playing with an AMD Radeon 5850, a good card that I used for almost a year at that time, but obviously incapable of supporting PhysX. Then I saw the effects in a video and, well...I totally fell for the advertising you could say. Meaning I bought an Nvidia GTX 660 Ti and played the hell out of Borderlands 2. I really love the game and the PhysX effects are simply astonishing.

 

It still sucks that they guard their technology behind a technological iron curtain, but if you have an Nvidia, you're good. So it only sucks for everyone else. Tehe. *duck & cover*

There are no dx12 compatible cards on the market because there is no dx12 and no dx12 games. But there will be. New cards will arive but the Titan will of course not be "upgraded" somehow...

 

Mhm...am I wrong? Did Microsoft announce something like...dx12 being backwards compatible?

I love your cat all black
Mine is a kitten she is only 5 months :-)
I am on my IPad right now wish I knew how to attach a picture on the topic :-)

Yes too bad DAI was designed for the consoles
And the consoles use AMD and Frostbyte favours AMD Mantle
Too bad Bioware does not want to give their codes out so modders could fix the game for them and Nvidia could pump out a great driver for it :-)

Thank you, he will be turning 1 year old pretty soon. He was a last chance rescue kitten. I can't believe nobody wanted him. He talks like a tribble and follows me around like a dog.  Post pic of kitten when you can. I love cats.

Google DX12 and Titan Black it is DX12 compatible :-)

Ohai there ya all

 

Sorry that it took me so long to introduce myself, but work is work and sometimes there's just not enough of a spare time to come here

 

My name isn't ShushNMD, of course. Yet people that know me rarely address me by my real name. It's Alex if someone is really interested.

 

My first gaming computer looked like this:

 

This monstrosity didn't have any OS to speak of and to start a game you had to twiddle with tape while performing shamanic rituals and calling upon Cthulhu!

 

One can practically rule out even a slightest chance to run any C64 game, because this thing here couldn't run it. But at least I've learned some BASIC

 

My first PC game was Fallout and that game is my most favorite all timer, while BG/IWD series and Planescape hold a second place in my heart and Half-Life closing on the third one.  

These game are the reason why I've learned English in the first place. My fascination for the language comes from awesome stories I couldn't understand and jokes I couldn't comprehend. Pretty much my entire childhood is packed into these

 

To make the long story short, I have degree in graphic design, senior degree in electricity and am a professional chief. 

 

So...what are you discussing?

I'm fairly sure you are correct but I do remember seeing an article that stated that Maxwell based Nvidia cards well as Mantle capable AMD cards will be able to take advantage of DX12 features.  I'll see if I can find that article..  I was actually hoping that Mantle would be widely adopted by everyone since it's an open source software that AMD is sharing with everyone including Nvidia.  I think offloading the workload to a powerful GPU instead of utilizing pure CPU power is a good thing for everyone.  Low to high end can gain good performance from this technique.

Nice computer!  It kinda reminds me of my Tandy 1000 with my 16 color monitor.    We were discussing video card tech.

I would rescue all of them if I could but then I would become a crazy cat person.. NM I am but there are monetary concerns.

Hello Alex and welcome to our small group, maybe you should send that thing to Bioware to remind them what a keyboard looks like :-)

[MatrixGirl]

GODzilla
I agree with you Dx12 is supposed to do the same as Mantle, it is just an API :-)
So for those of us who will have the Titans we can swing both ways :-)

[MatrixGirl]

GODzilla
But DX12 will kill Nvidia 700 and 800 series card :-)
So big decisions will have to be made ;-)

Ah...okay got it. ALL dx11 cards will support dx12, but as of now it us not sure how much of the actual software architecture is supported by dx11 cards.

 

Well it would be reasonable to assume that there wont be a full dx12 support for dx11 cards. That would only work it Nvidia can see into the future. I know the news say that they worked with Microsoft for years together on dx12, but for a full support Microsoft would have to work FOR Nvidia, catering to their hardware architecture of 2014 and 2015, which will probably not happen.

 

It also should not happen because I hope they make dx12 as fast as possible. Graphic card developers than have to build the hardware to support it. It has always been this way.

GODzilla
Not to worry we do not want to confuse the gaming companies too fast now with Mantle and DX12.
Hell Bioware took 2 months to give us a walk toggle :-)

Intel actually showed some DX12 demos running on DX11 hardware and DX12 can add up to 50% more performance for those cards. Developers so far have not shown a great interest in fully utilizing it though. The possibility of DX12 and Mantle is very promising but it feels as if the support for them will be extremely fragmented.

I agree with you, but the way the gaming industry is going pretty soon PC gaming might be dead. The console market might overtake us PC gamers.
The reason why I have faith in Blizzard and Chris Roberts and small companies who will remember who made them rich when they first came out :-)

MatrixGirl,

I don't think PC gaming will ever die especially due to strategy RTS/TBS games not agreeing with game controllers. I think we can thank games like Civilization V, X-Com Enemy Unknown, Company of Heroes, and Total War series of games. Also, there is so much amazing content being made by indy developers specifically for PC. Lot of old PC veteran programmers and artists are also going the crowdsourced route. Thank goodness for that because EA, Ubisoft, and Activision have pretty much abandoned the PC gamers that got them where they are to begin with.  I'll note some amazing stuff I've had the pleasure of playing through indy/kickstarter.   Divinity Original Sin, Shadowrun returns/Dragonfall, Wasteland 2, Bastion, Grim Dawn, Deadlight, Trine 2, and Mars War Logs.  

Oh, I almost left out Witcher 3.  Far as I'm concerned , CD Projekt Red is the new Bioware for RPGs.

I am looking forward to Star Citizen from Chris Roberts who said it will be PC only and never consoles.
I agree all those companies were put on the map by U.S. PC gamer and now they laugh in our faces.
I too look forward to Indy games :-)
Blizzard loved Diablo 3 I am still playing it, but they managed to make one for the console and it is probably bad on the console because of the type of game it is :-)

[DarkAmaranth1966]

I guess it depends on your age and what you really want. Me I'm content with 4 years before I have no choice but to replace a GPU. I can get by w/o full DX12 support for a while as long as what I want to run doesn't require full DX12.

 

Yes the Titan is true to it's name - it does it with brute force but, it does out perform anything else Nvidia has and, I am not an AMD fan at all so, for me it is the way to go.

[MatrixGirl]

Peregrinus
I hear so much about this project red thing and Witcher 3 are those out yet ? :-)

[MatrixGirl]

DarkAmaranth1966
I ran out of likes :-)
So like you last post :-)
Yes I think I will be quite safe with a Titan card and I do not like AMD either:-)
Intel and Nvidia girl all the way here :-)
Release The Draken :-)

Peregrinus,

 

Grim Dawn is my "go to" game of late.

 

Are you playing the PoE beta?

 

Other indie games of note:

Age of Decadence

Deathspank

E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy

Legend of Grimrock

Legends of Aethereus

Lords of Xulima

Starpoint Gemini 2

Tales of Maj'Eyal

 

Counting down to the beta for Darkest Dungeon ... 12 days.

 

Lot's of people don't like Steam for various reasons but I find it a great resource for indie games that we would never see in a store.
