Are you sure about the final version being dx12? It would be a shame if it isn't.

It's not a big deal, you'll notice. The early dx12 titles won't bring major performance gains compared to dx11. Plus, most people should now rely on Vulkan.

Yes, Vulkan can be downloaded separately. You typically install it through official repositories or package managers. Once installed, you usually don’t need to re-download it unless updates are released.

apis function differently—when a game needs one, it usually installs everything required. You’ll also require compatible drivers, which aren’t available yet since the game isn’t released.

That's correct, I thought they had Vulkan available for Star Wars as a downloadable option. I wasn't aware it existed; I didn't even know about it. Wink

Battlefront currently doesn’t support Vulkan, and no other titles do either. Only games that back Vulkan will implement it. My point is developers should focus on Vulkan rather than using the older DX12 format.

Yes, in theory, Vulkan could match the performance of DirectX 12.

We understand it will improve in all aspects. Plus, it’s fully independent of any particular platform.

Perhaps they're both aiming for similar goals, though we'll discover how near they come once we have a real reference point.

I play Battlefield on reduced settings on Windows Surface Pro 2; it should work well with integrated graphics on an older card.
