And throw MIPS into the equation also, those RISC designs can scale from the supercomputer/server to down to the IOT.Īnd the people complaining the most are not the AMD fans, more so than it is the Nvidia customers, who may begin to see the light about one company’s arrogance! It sure would be nice if there were a third player in the discrete GPU market. But the PC/laptop market is very unhealthy, hopefully some more competition is in store, once the Licensed Power8 microarchitecture is spread around the open market, I do look forward to Laptop/PC derivatives, as well as the server SKUs that are beginning to arrive from the Licensed power8 market, ARM style licensing made the mobile market what it is today, let’s see what the Power8 microarchitecture, and ISA can do for the market, the more competition the better. The mobile market is sure a lot more healthy with no one in control of the market for mobile CPUs/GPUs. What do you expect when one company gets too much of the market share, Nvidia’s feeding you scraps, and charging 5 star prices. ![]() Mistakes are one thing, outright lies is another. Nvidia deserves that sueball, and the entire technology sector needs better specification reporting requirements. One mistake, that’s getting them sued and all the apologists working overtime to make the greedy companies appear the damaged parties. 1: The "Runtime" reporting 11.0 is confusing though, perhaps this is just DX11 with WDDM 2.0? It looks like Microsoft pushed out NVIDIA's DirectX 12 drivers through Windows Update. These are not available on NVIDIA's website, and the Driver Model reports WDDM 2.0. What is interesting is the installed version number for NVIDIA's GeForce Drivers when Windows Update was finished with its patching: 349.65. So it turns out that if your motherboard dies during a Windows Update reboot, then you are going to be spending several hours reinstalling software and patches, but that is not important. ![]() I do not have a compatible AMD GPU to test against (just a couple of old Windows 7 laptops) but the source is probably right and some AMD GPUs will be updated to DX12 too. After enabling iGPU graphics on my i7-4790K, the Intel HD 4600 received a driver update, which also reports as WDDM 2.0 in DXDIAG. They also claim that Intel and AMD have DirectX 12 drivers available through Windows Update as well. Update 2: Outside sources have confirmed to PC Perspective that this driver contains DirectX 12 as well as WDDM 2.0.
