Windows 12

[Dr. Dro]

If you mean DXR, it is like PhysX, the sooner it dies, the better for the community.
Adding new "features" is not making a new DirectX version, just like adding new service packs in Windows doesn't make it a new OS.

DX 12 has three versions - the version at launch 12.0, then 12.1 and now 12.2 which was released 4 years ago. The original was launched 10 years ago.
By far the longest serving version of them all.

1. It will never die, embrace it
2. The API has nothing to do with your qualms
3. These are merely landmarks, the actual capabilities have been developed and built over the years, at a pace never seen before

There comes a time you need to humble yourself and admit you're wrong

a new SDK dropped... a week ago

And so what? Today there have been several Windows Defender updates, too.
So, what did that "new SDK" bring to the table which made DX a new, modern version which corresponds to year 2025, and not to year 2015?

Does this mean that Microsoft lied that Windows 10 was the last Windows ever, but they mean that DX 12 is the last DirectX version ever?

Why Microsoft is calling Windows 10 ‘the last version of Windows’

Stuff you wouldn't even understand, frankly. But important stuff. And he was talking about Vulkan anyways.

That's how it is. A lot of the important updates don't really translate to consumer speak, so they get little fanfare.

I guess the real question I have for you is what do you believe DX12 is lacking to make it modern?

Judging by the OP - “unlimited detail technology”… whatever that is. Probably a secret blood ritual conducted by Todd Howard to achieve 40 times the detail.
