Have you ever thanked Microsoft for saving the computer gaming industry?

If it weren't for her, there would only be relevant games for consoles. Yes, not even native ones for Linux would exist. Although DirectX is gradually being replaced by Vulkan, it still played an extremely critical role in the history of PC gaming.

      Lmao

      windows is the only reason why software works at all
      without windows you would be stuck with linux, forced to use new software and unable to run anything if the dev hasn't updooted it for the newest libraries.

      Exactly this, Windows as a software product is an abomination but it fullfills needs that nobody else can afford to.

      Why the frick is dx12 fricking useless? In all my games dx12 is barely an improvement above dx11.

      It's either garbage multithreading because people use the API without fully understanding it, or poorly cooled hardware that throttles too hard when at 100% usage.

    DirectX is more than Graphics API, hence the X. Vulkan is only graphics.

      Because OpenGL is moronic. And he wasn't going to release it for other platforms anyway, why waste time wrestling with OpenGL.

      It's actually worse on Linux compared to 11, which is fully supported by DXVK.
      I wonder if Microsoft sabotages Vulkan, since Vulkan version on Windows are generally much worse and less stable (e.g., Rainbow 6 Siege), but better on Linux.
      Or maybe it's just AMD drivers.

    DirectX is my only option on old hardware. Vulkan isn't supported on my ancient laptop and I'm not about to put up with running everything at shitty framerates for the sake of software ideology.
