This is NOT a bash Microsoft thread. This is meant to be a serious discussion thread about Gaming and Windows 10. I saw the post on neowin about the Jan 2015 MS show about gaming.

 

at this point as a TP, how is gaming thus far? Reason I ask is, If it turns out to be a platform we deserve, I will upgrade without a doubt. I have a ton of games, most on steam. 

 

Anyone using the TP, can you give me some heads up on gaming thus far or is it impossible at this point being in TP mode?

excellent. I guess the trade off will be I'll be unable to have a DX12 card but will benefit still, from the optomizations. I'll take that!

 

As long as NVidia provide WDDM 2.0 compliant drivers you'll benefit both in gaming and every day tasks based on what I've read on the WDDM entry on Wikipedia.

I'd expect SOME amount of game crashes. I'm more intrigued by the fact we hopefully have a new windows staff, developing windows that they'll build Windows 10 into the windows gaming platform they have been trying to build. i'd say they have surely built windows to boot much faster. But I'm simply just an old gamer

I was feeling daring last night so I did an upgrade to Windows 10. It's working great. To get SLI working I had to kill the wsearch process. I'm just not sure if I should re enable the service now that SLI is enabled. Anyone know?

The nVidia drivers are a bit fussy about applications / services running in the background when you enable SLI but they don't cause any problems once it's already enabled. Unless you actually disabled the service it will start again of its own accord, so I wouldn't worry about it.

 

I've been using SLI on Windows 10 without any OS specific issues.

I'm wondering, if I have a Nvidia 770m card in my laptop, will they build drivers so that it will support DX12? or subsequent cards will support DX12, after windows 10 is out?

 

First thing first.

 

Will Directx 12 be released for Windows 7 and 8.

For 7 no, since it goes out of mainstream support by the time DX12 is out. For 8 most likely, but it won't be the full package, only a subset of it that makes sense to be ported back. Just my guess.

 

also DX12 won't do anything for cards we own already. Our cards we have now, will benefit with DX12 but just won't be able to do DX12. I understand cards are being designed for DX12 now. I'll probably swap out this Nvidia 770M when the mobile DX12 cards come out.

From what I've heard, that's not true at all.  DX11 cards will get a massive performance improvement with DX12.  DX12 does enable some new features requiring new hardware but the biggest change doesn't need new hardware at all.

Q: Should I wait to buy a new PC or GPU?

    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for Dark Scrolls, Empulse, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The final update of June for Nvidia's cloud gaming service GeForce NOW is now available, and it is touting support for six more games. The company is also drawing subscriber attention towards the summer sales kicking off across stores, so they can stock up on more cloud-supported titles. Of course, the Steam Summer Sale is the biggest promotion, which is kicking off later today. "Supported Steam games can be streamed across devices with GeForce NOW, making it easy to buy a game once, keep progress synced and pick up where the gameplay left off on PCs, Macs, handheld devices, phones, TVs and more," says the company. "In other words, the Steam Summer Sale brings the deals; GeForce NOW adds the flexibility." Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active as well. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Dark Scrolls (New release on Steam, available June 22) SAND: Raiders of Sophie (New release on Steam, available June 22) Deer & Boy (New release on Steam, available June 23) EMPULSE (New release on Steam, available June 24) The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales (Steam) FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves (Steam) With the June expansions coming to an end, Nvidia should be announcing its July GeForce NOW plans next week. Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month.
