hi i have upgraded to windows 10 and have an AMd 6800k with dual graphics with a 6670 hd, is direct x 12 compatible with this pc setup ?
thanks
 
Solution
So, your CPU's integrated graphics are compatible: (which is AMD Radeon HD 8670D)
"AMD E1/E2/A4/A6/A8-6000 Series APUs (codenamed “Beema”)"
But your 6670 hd GPU isn't.
Any gpu that directx 11 will support DX 12 performance enhancements such as the draw call unlock, but you will not get the other features with these gpus, i have the A10 6800k and windows 10 runs great on it.

EDIT: To be more clear, you will get the better performance, but not the other effects of DX12, because these gous are locked at feature level 11_0
 


so basically if I removed my GPU from my computer it should show up direct x 12 in dxdiag as direct x 12 and not 11.2?
 
I have a Gigabyte GA-F2A55M-ds2 rev 3.0 motherboard , and as my AMd A10 6800K does not seem to be compatible with direct X 12 and seeing that my motherboard supports FM2+ , I'm thinking of upgrading my APU to the A10 7870K Godavari processor , I have checked with the website and it states that with a bios upgrade the Godavari should work with this motherboard is that correct
