I don’t know about D3D12, But I know some people who are very knowledgeable about graphics programming who have said that some of the reasons that newer D3D API’s are not ported to older versions of windows is due to the amount of work required( And the dev time and money that would take).
They have also said that (at least Khronos members) were saying that Mantle was not needed.

That is quite possible.

D3D12 appears good so far, Vulkan should be too.

And BTW it really is Direct3D12, the last three versions of D3D have mostly been on the graphics side.

There is a thread here talking about Vulkan.

Anyway, it’s good Vulkan has just come officially.

Thank you for the link. I have been reading all information in the Internet about Vulkan and I didn’t see the thread.
