Support NeoGAF

[Betta Lines]

I'm sure Forza has run on PCs for years (while they developed it), so unless there is a specific confirmation of a PC version I'm not expecting anything here...

 

[OverHeat]

Will my GTX 780 Ti support dx12?

Joke post?

Has Microsoft given up on the XBO and is bringing every XBO game to the PC now or why is that Forza 5 demo running on a PC?

Yes, they are shutting Xbox down.

Re all the support for older cards, I was just about to type something v similar to this:

Josh Walrath: We currently don't know what changes in Direct3D will be brought to the table, all we are seeing here is how they are changing the software stack to more efficiently use modern GPUs. This does not mean that all current DX11 hardware will fully support the DX12 specification when it comes to D3D, Direct Compute, etc

 

[Naminator]

On Nvidia??! Forza 5 Enhanced edition on PC belieeveeeee

That would be crazy!

First Dx12 game, and probably sometime soon if they already ported it.

this

 

[aeolist]

This has nothing to do with comparing 3rd party games on the ps4.

and why is that exactly?

 

[Papilloma]

Didn't they say 4 man months? I believe that means it took a team of 4 one month. I could be wrong though...

Well spotted!! Not quite so long as I'd thought!

 

[mephixto]

Forza was on a PC with Nvidia..

"Look guys we got Forza 5 running on a PC with an Nvidia, and if you think we will release it on PC any time soon guess what? Fck no, we just teasing you like the last 10 years mmmmkay" -MS

 

[cyberheater]

So what's the chance that MS will sit on the PC build of Forza and never release it to us?

[rakkadakka]

I'm honestly wondering what some people were expecting from an API upgrade.

Unicorns and rainbows.

 

[Tablo]

so....Penello saying Microsoft created DX and all that shit sort of redeemed?
Not to say they'll get better performance than PS4 still, but it helps alleviate the gap?

On the PC side I'm hella hyped though, this is fantastic!
Pretty happy I maintained some hope MS would do something about DX
May this be the beginning of a new, better era, for all, and we shall prosper in increased efficiency for all!

Yea, doubt it. Considering MS' track record with porting their 1st party Xbox stuff.

 

[curlycare]

OMG Xbone with nVidia's GPU?

Obviously the dGPU is made by Nvidia!

Spoiler

lol

 

[Takamura-San]

OMG Xbone with nVidia's GPU?

The secret GPU has been DISCOVERED!!!!

It can mean one man for four months, or 4 men for one month, or 2 men for two months, or 80 men for one day...

 

[DopeyFish]

Didn't they say 4 man months? I believe that means it took a team of 4 one month. I could be wrong though...

No. 4 man months means it took the equivalent of one man working 4 months to get it ported.

Or a week if you had a team of 15 people.

100% lol

 

[UrbanRats]

"NVIDIA will support DX12 on Fermi, Kepler, Maxwell and forward!"

Fuck yes.

Aw yiss.

 

[Doffen]

Can I have my Forza for Windows Phone now?

 

[ghst]

sure, but it means a much shorter transition than before, when the amount of effort that went into coding for a flashy new API was hampered by adoption rates.

 

[Interfectum]

so....Penello saying Microsoft created DX and all that shit sort of redeemed?

Until we see real world implementations of this performance boost? No.

 

[Winternet]

Yes

Thanks!

Joke post?

No, why would you think that?

100%

 

[Gestault]

Wait a minute, am I understanding right that my old GTX 460 will still benefit from this?

 

[Caayn]

Jup.

 

[aeolist]

hardware adoption rates weren't the problem for the dx9-10 transition, it was everyone sticking with windows xp since nobody wanted vista

now dx12 will be tied to windows 8.1 and we'll probably see a similar effect, though possibly not as bad

 

[JaggedSac]

Wait a minute, am I understanding right that my old GTX 460 will still benefit from this?

To some extent. We don't know how much.

 

[cyberheater]

100% lol

100%

Fuck

 

[Caesar III]

Perhaps NVIDIA is powering the cloud?

 

[RadioactiveLobster]

Yea, doubt it. Considering MS' track record with porting their 1st party Xbox stuff.

Microsoft seems to have this weird view I cannot understand that PC Gaming (which is predominately Windows based) is a direct competitor to it's own Xbox platform.

 

[Barzul]

So what's the chance that MS will sit on the PC build of Forza and never release it to us?

Very high I'd say.

 

[blastprocessor]

Just imagine if they announced Forza 5 PC on the day they release DX12.

Would be amazing.

 

[aeolist]

Fuck

i for one think they'll definitely put forza 5 out on PC

Spoiler

exclusively for the windows 8 microsoft store

 

[JaggedSac]

I think that one dude busted a chub and ripped his pants.

 

[Dr.Schlomo]

and why is that exactly?

wat?

Why would it?

 

[VisceralBowl]

Holiday 2015

Too long

 

[IcyRhythms]

Did they specify is 8.1 is required?

 

[justsomeguy]

... holiday 2015 games. Jeez louise.

 

[cyberheater]

Because it is.

 

[ekim]

Holiday 2015

 

[GeoMatrix]

Yikes, targeting Holiday 2015 games

 

[Marvel]

lol.

 

[ghst]

booooooooooooooo.

edit: semi boooooooooooooooo.

 

[GreyWind]

Ryan Shrout: By the time they ship, 50% of all PC gamers will be DX12 capable.

Ryan Shrout: Ouch, targeting Holiday 2015 games.

 

[TC McQueen]

Holiday 2015? Fucking bullshit.

 

[DieH@rd]

HOLIYDAY 2015

I kinda expected that date. They started working on DX12 veeeery recently.

 

[Chobel]

MS, just don't tie this to Windows +8, We need all devs to use this.
