GTX 980 DirectX Support 11.0?

id_mew · Oct 3, 2014

Just got a GTX 980 and under GPU-Z DirectX Support it shows only 11.0 instead 12.
Is this normal?
Running Windows 8.1.
Thanks.

erocker · Oct 3, 2014

DX12 doesn't exist for you or me yet. It should support DX12 once it's released.

id_mew · Oct 3, 2014

Oh I see. Thank you for this fast response!

Alberto Bortoletto · Oct 3, 2014

Same to me.....but Windows 8.1 have 11.2 Dx

id_mew · Oct 3, 2014

Huh, that's weird.
Why does mine show 11.0?

Were all going to die.

id_mew · Oct 3, 2014

What's happening :eek:

should I RMA my card?
I could be missing out on some tessellation.

without DX 11.2 you wont be able to tessellate rocks correctly.

wait for updated drivers, or throw it away and buy an AMD card that supports it already.

You are only missing out on anything if game developers actually incorporate it. And most of the time tesselation isn't even used correctly.

You should still be able to tesselate hills or Windows.

RE. AMD Radeon DX 11.2 support - don't forget Mantle, nVidia lacks that too.

R-T-B · Oct 5, 2014

Don't worry, it's common knowedge NVIDIA skipped DirectX 11.1/11.2. Fortunately you are missing almost nothing short of a little tessellation that is rarely used.

just to be clear incase the "wat" at the end of my post was too blended in /sarcasm

Nothing is wrong with your card,and no need to replace it for any other card, the 980 is great just dont worry and enjoy it.
