[PCPER]DirectX 12 Preview New Windows 10 Build No Drivers...Yet

[monstercameron]

The new Windows 10 Technical Preview, containing DirectX 12, is available now from the preview build panel. It looks like Futuremark (and maybe others) will soon release software for it, but no hardware vendor has released a driver... yet.

Not surprised.

I know NVidia already has a DX12 driver, as Microsoft demo'd Forza 5 running on the PC using DX12 and a Titan Black.

About time DX12 showed up in Win10, there is really not that much time in software terms until December, reportedly when DX12 will hit.

There is a driver via Windows Update.

For users who choose to give Windows 10 Consumer Preview a try, we ask that you share your experiences and provide us with feedback should you install Windows 10 on a PC featuring an NVIDIA GPU. A Windows 10 Consumer Preview Feedback Form is available from the URL below. At this time, the only way to obtain a Windows 10 NVIDIA display driver is through Microsoft's Windows 10 Update

With AMD you may be able to use 8.1 drivers, but I am not sure. With Intel you need manual hacks. No real Windows 10 driver from any.

With Intel you first see a public driver near release in mid 2015. Unless some OEMs leak the beta drivers.

What i gathered was that since software like DirectX 12 takes lots of time to perfect, it's high time that it's incorporated into the Win 10 preview so that people can start testing it. Does that make sense?

I'm running 2 win10 installs on different ssd's. Just installed this build. Cortana is also there. The interface with 4k monitor is getting better every build. Meaning things are bigger where they should be
