If only more games supported that. Kudos to the developers.
Does this look like “realistic physically based materials and lighting”?
MSAA is power hungry garbage. SMAA is much better.
no, MSAA is the best
WOW DX11~!!! Oh, wait, dx12 is here already and saying you patched in some dx11 features is a big deal why exactly?
I don’t get this attitude, Unreal Engine 4 is here too but all I hear about are tech demos and games that don’t exist yet. DX12 won’t matter for a few years.
Windows 10 isn’t even out yet. And neither are DX12 games. Also, no one said it was a “big deal” and it doesn’t have to be one in order for an article to be written about it.
