Why doesn't someone just port DX12 to Windows 7/8?
>>
>why doesn't someone spend thousands of hours reverse engineering directx 12 and create patches for the kernel so that a few hundred people who wants to use windows but not windows 10 because of muh botnet will be happy
I don't know, OP. Good question.
>>
Yeah, that's really easy. Not like it's all closed source. Maybe you should try it OP.
>>
>>55324746
i'll do it. you got a download of the source code?
>>
Why when Windows 10 is better? That's like putting a backup camera on a car from the 80s
>>
>>55324746
Can't wait for Vulkan am I right
>>
>>55324746
Why don't we just go to the sun at night?
>>
>>55324838
why wait?
>>
Wine will have their own DX12 implementation eventually and it'll might even work on older windows
>>
>>55324787
>a few hundred people
other than that, you're right.
>>
Dindus 7 is already just as botnetted as 10, unless you disabled your internet connection months ago.
>>
>dx12
>still relevant
>not deprecated
>shiggy diggy
>>
>>55325317
"disable"
>>
>>55325165
Ok. Like 7 people.
>>
>>55324787
Windows 7 and Windows 10 have the same kernel. DX12's limitation is probably just in the installer.
>>
>>55324746
>why doesn't someone just backport something to the NT kernel?

The fuck are you on?

Why not just block telemetry with a firewall
>>
>>55327407
God you're fucking stupid
>>
>>55325247
Patently false, unless you have been installing every update MS sends your way
>>
Even if you did there would be no drivers for directx 12 on windows 7
>>
>>55324787
Why not just copy paste the files over?
>>
>>55327713
You do that and report back how it went.
>>
>>55327713
is this a joke?
>>
Windows7/8 support DirectX 11.3 which is pretty much the same, even DX12_1 features are included.
>>
>not using the best windows

gamers are fucking scum
>>
>>55325888
Between 7 and 8 people, surely.

It's a nice summer this year isn't it?

They did the same with DX10 for XP so people could play Halo 2

Jesus Christ. How many of those are people that got raped by the automatic update?
