Microsoft confirms long-overdue DirectX 12 will be unveiled at GDC
2014-03-06 12:49:40| Extremetech
Microsoft has confirmed the existence of DirectX 12. As expected, it will be unveiled at GDC 2014 on March 20.

Considering DX10 was released in 2006, and DX11 was released in 2009, DX12 is incredibly overdue. All signs point to DirectX 12 being a direct competitor to AMD's recently released Mantle API, and in all likelihood will stymie AMD's attempt to gain a critical mass of game developers.
