Since Microsoft has announced its new API, DirectX 12, I was wondering if my NVIDIA GeForce GT 840m card in my laptop would support it, since the spec sheet on NVIDIA's site states this card supports DX11.2. In other words, will NVIDIA release some kind of update that will allow this card to support DX12, or is a graphic card stuck on the latest DX version that was available at the card's release?
The reason this is worrying me is because most of this year's later games are rumored to require DX12.
One last thing, please don't reply "oh well your gpu is crap its only gt not gtx why would you even try to play games on it you fag". If that's what you think, then you're wrong because I can run COD:AW and other newer titles at 60fps on my laptop's native resolution (1366x768) with textures on high and anti-aliasing off, if not set to FXAA, which runs fine most of the time but can drop my FPS in some cases. And the "X" in GTX only means that your GPU is capable of 1080p gaming. GT GPUs can run games fine, just not in 1080p. Anyway, I'm getting off track, just please answer the question instead of piddling and moaning about my GPU's capabilities.
In case you've forgotten what my question is, I was asking will NVIDIA release some kind of update that will allow my card to support DX12, or is a graphic card stuck on the latest DX version that was available at the card's release?
Thankyou.
