AMD VP: No DirectX 12 API in the Near Future; Battlefield 4 Could be in Never Settle Bundle
Ross Taylor believes that "advancements in PC graphics technology could be on the verge of a slump."
In an interview with German Publication Heise.de, Ross Taylor, AMD's Vice President of Global Channel Sales, revealed that the company doesn't expect DirectX 12 to be arriving with the rumored Windows 8.1 "Blue" operating system or at any time in the near future. As a result, AMD's next-generation GPUs will integrate "other technologies."
Taylor also hinted that Battlefield 4 may be featured in the next "Never Settle" bundle.
Since next versions of DirectX 12 generally result in new GPU architectures, and both Nvidia and AMD plan to announce their new range of graphics cards at the end of this year, hopefully we don't have to wait very long for more information to surface.
Even if DX 12 came right now, no games would support it, as all the consoles they'd be ported from will only support DX 11 - it'd be in as bad of shape as DX 11 used to be.

Aren't those just refreshes on the same cores, not the new Volcanic Islands or Maxwell.
A good reason to skip buying the game then
If only the next bundle would come out before my current 6950 burns out and also only a few months after BF4 launches
Look. I understand being "out of work" (you could have done something...anything.....though... But be pathetic) for 5 months is stressful. I understand you may get desperate and pathetic and desperately try to hold on.
But you are not that guy. You gave no honor. You are just a pathetic joke of a liar.... Selling out to scam companies. No one takes you seriously. I feel bad for you but grow a pair
As far as I know, Crysis 2 was and still is (I didn't play C3 to be sure) the game with the best implementation of DirectX11 yet, still, it's used only sparsely. A lot of tesselation (but mostly on walls, and some other random things.) For the most part, C2 uses Parallax Occlusion.
There is like literally 1 game that has implemented the optimised Multi-threading provided by DX11.
Am people are just starting the better utilise DirectCompute.
You ever watch Office Space?
Never trust the words of a spammer. If they lie about one thing, they lie about it all.
Course, if your post was entirely sarcasm, carry on.
but......bbut.....Battlefield....
BF4 in "never settle" bundle? AMD is hitting nVidia hard.

Um. No. BF4=BF3+prettier. At least, that's what i understood from the trailer.
So it makes since that people like AMD, Nvidia and Intel are more focused on Linux as an open platform; ripe for new and exciting things. Android (Google), Steam (Valve) all realized this and are taking advantage of it.
