Microsoft to Talk DirectX 12 at GDC
Microsoft will present its first paper on DirectX 12, its next-generation multimedia API, at the Game Developers Conference (GDC), on the 20th of March, 2013. The event could include presentations by NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, and Qualcomm. It's not clear at this point if Microsoft will release developer tools and resources on that day, or simply outline the API to spur interest. If anything, it should gently nudge today's GPU manufacturers to make their future GPU designs ready for the API. There are currently no GPU families that we know of, which support DirectX 12. AMD's current Graphics CoreNext 2.0 GPUs, such as the Radeon R9 290X, support DirectX 11.2, while NVIDIA's "Maxwell" GPUs, such as the GeForce GTX 750 Ti, feature an identical API feature-level support to their "Kepler" predecessors.

If this the case, I wonder if DX12 makes it to primetime before Mantle gets out of beta.
Unless developers see big incentives to go back and optimize for DX 12. We'll see the same thing as always DX 9/DX 10 game engines with MAYBE updated DX 12 features. Much like we see today with old DX 9 game engines incorporating DX 10/DX11 features.
www.msi.com/news/1665.html DirectX 11.2 (Feature Level 11_0) for Titan Black.
www.asus.com/in/News/4jZ47ImpuAL4DdMR "DirectX® 11.2 standard (up to API feature level 11_0)" for GTX 750 Ti.
AMD GCN, Intel Haswell and Qualcomm Adreno 420 supports Feature Level 11_1.
They have their work cut out for them.

That's the only difference you see?
It's not the first time when you don't understand anything...lol red haters look here.
forums.anandtech.com/showpost.php?p=36022606&postcount=176Interesting how you think if Xbox One supports DX 11.2 desktop GCN 1.0 supports it too. And totally ignoring fact that Microsoft demonstrated DX 11.2 tiled resources with GTX 770.
And team green will likely be behind the blue (intel) team when it comes to full feature (or partial) support for dx12 ,,, why, because nvidia will likely want to sell the world a brand new gpu for that option as they always have.
I'd normally bicker with you but your right :)
Try reading sometime time rather then just spouting ignorance. It will definitely make you seam less of a jerk.The underlining is if that trend continues adaptation for DX12 hardware is at minimal years away and game engines developed with or revamped to DX12 are years away as well.
The market has to be flooded with DX12 compliant hardware for the companies to take a interest in developing for it. Consoles don't have that issue.
All depends on what DX12 is capable of.
So please enlightening us where did you read that Xbox One and GCN 1.0 will support DX 12 and Nvidia will fall behind. From fake AMD slides?
Watch Dogs reality
Not only that your basing what ever delusional argument you have in your head on a slide from Dec 2012 and the Watch Dog game which hasn't even been release yet?
Your a fine example of a "Stay in school kids" PSA.
