DirectX 12
DirectX 12 will be exclusive to Windows 10, a fact that Microsoft hopes will bring hardcore PC gamers
to the operating system. It apparently halves the power consumption over its preceding DirectX
version and gives a better frame rate when playing games. Those running the insider preview of
Windows 10 can actually try this out right now.

Modern and more powerful graphics cards will support DirectX 12, with only a driver update required.
Although some graphics cards might not be able to handle every single feature that DirectX 12 brings
to the table, chances are that if you have a higher-end card then you’ll be good to go with the new
version.
