Do I need to Upgrade my Graphics Card?

^ you're welcome bro... pero, once naa na ang DX12, mo support man ang GTX 660 Ti ana... for sure, mo saka ang fps during gaming. pero, as you've said, on a single GTX 660 Ti, naa mga games na heavy GFX na dili sya maka Ultra GFX Quality Preset... example, Crysis 3... but kun SLI ni sya, kumbate na kaayo sya on Crysis 3 Ultra GFX Quality preset...

wait lang sa Maxwell na naka ARM CPU... for sure, the performance leap would be big from the GTX 660 Ti...

hope DX12 will support Win 7 para dili ta maka palit napud ug genuine Win 8 OS... pero, dili man ni show stopper ang genuine OS... all of you knows what i'm saying... hehehe...

by the way, next year pa i-release ang DX12... for now, we are pinned down in using DX11 and AMD's Mantle on the API side... so, any driver optimization from Nvidia to counter Mantle is welcome for Nvidia GPU users... it would be better to choose the right HW for upgrade... and your nailed it. let us wait for the 800 series to arrive... kani kun mag pabilin ta on the Green Team side...

basta, ang kanang GTX 660 Ti, its a nice card. it gives the HD 7950 and the HD 7970 (non-boost and non GHz variants) a run for its money... even it has a 192 bit bus bandwidth, it goes elbows to elbows with those 256 bit bus bandwidth cards and on "some" GPU demanding games, managed to beat the competition (the cards that i've mentioned above)... the HD 7870 is quite no match with the GTX 660 Ti's performance... tua sa GTX 660 (non-Ti) ang kumbate sa HD 7870...

@lloyd_joy i'm so excited with the release of the 800 series according to nvidia will be earlier this 2014 . hope ma release na pod ang dx 12

how will i run call of duty in Ultra GFX settings diay bro? if i run nako og high settings tanan sa advance video okay raman siya dili siya lag. why is it like that in call of duty? but when i try it in crysis 3 and farcry 3 is different. haha..

mayta mo support lage ang dx 12 for windows 7 os i dont really like the windows 8 the way it is bsan pa cguro og ibalik ang start button haha. mayta mawala na ang start screen.

And lastly bro, unsa diay na software ang gamiton to test the FPS of the game, example i'll play crysis 3 or call of duty, how will i know the FPS sa akong game nga gduwa? how will i run the FPS test for the game? the only software i use kay katong heaven for the benchmark.

Nakahisgot pud ko sa previous posts na nag assure both AMD and Nvidia that their current hardware will support DX12 fine. Like how the GTX 260 will still run on Battlefield 3 minus the dx11 features :P

[lloyd_joy]

DX12 will only be supported by Fermi and up for Nvidia's side... basin sa AMD's side, mag start sa "Southern Islands"... the 6000 series... pero, dugay pa man ta maka enjoy sa DX12. next year pa man kuno. paets...

inig duwa nato'g BF3 on a GPU that doesn't support DX11, ok ra kay na anad ang mata... pero, kun maka suway gani ug duwa gamit ang DX11 GPU, aw, inig balilk duwa sa rig na naka DX10 compatible GPU lang, mag kisi2x dayon ug upgrade... hehehe...

nag wonder ko unsa kaha ang "eye candy" na ma provide sa mga DX12 compatible games then gamit ug DX12 compatible GPU... hhhaaayyyy... dili napud ta maka tulog ug sayo ani kay mag yampungad ug online FPS gaming... basta dili lang bz...

puno sa imagination... DX12 then 5K monitor(s)... yyyyuuummmyyy...

@ bro wylliexhan,

wla ra ba ko maka duwa'g Call of Duty... wla man ko'y installer ana nya diri man gud. basin High GFX setting ra ang max nya... mao na ang equivalent to Ultra GFX Preset... kanang Crysis 3 & Metro Last Light... mao ni sila ang maka hubak sa GPU ang CPU... hehehehe... ang kanang Far Cry 3, madala dala ra na siya... but, sa duha, Crysis 3 and Far Cry 3 (nag dula ko ani nila multi-player on-line), ok ra man ang low GFX Quality preset ana nila... dili man kaayo bati... hehehe... about sa Metro Last Light, wla pud ko maka duwa ana nya kay wla man ko'y installer diri. sige lang wala'y stock ang DataBlitz kun naa ko dha sa atoa... paets...

about sa software na gamit nko pang benchmark, FRAPS ra man bro. pero, mo kaon ni sya'g resources kun mag bench mark ta. ang actual fps na i-record nya, dili na ang actual gyud during the game but more or less, maka kuha ta'g idea man pud. useful ra gihapon. mao ni ang gi gamit sa mga review sites man pud... nice lang na sila'g rig para ma lessen ang other potential contributors...

naa diay uban games na naa'y built-in benchmarks... ask ta sa atoang mga kakusa diri sa buhat... mag bros, rain it down...

Kung walay Mantle - walay improvement and API hahahaha!!!!

DirectX 12 will offer tantalizing opportunities for game developers to extract new performance from PC graphics cards with a newly-streamlined language that reduces API overhead. DirectX 12 will be the first generational leap for the platform since DirectX 11 made its debut in 2008.

reduces API overhead was implemented by Mantle mao nga bisag lower cards and lower cpus can mu run smoothly. so in the near future dili na gyud ta mag worry kung unsay mga cards atong paliton.
