hi guys,i have tow questions..
first: i have gtx 1070 asusu strix
and as it known it supports DX12,but what about dx 11?
second:is it true that it won't give it's best performance if i run with windows 7?

dx12 is only available on win10
on win7 all games run with dx11
I own a 1070 and I use win7.
no problems doing that.

It's backwards compatible with other DX versions. However, if you want to use DX12, you'll need Windows 10.

You should upgrade to Windows 10. It's a much more stable and better performing platform. Only use Windows 7 if you have comparability issues.

It supports DX 11 and will work with Windows 7

What you lose with Windows 7 is that some new games may be DX 12 only so won't work, and DX 12 is much more optimized so in games that can take advantage of it you will be losing some performance.

i want to buy ASUS Z170-A ATX DDR4 Motherboard ( https://goo.gl/IxRxYk ) ,is it right that in this case i will be forced to get windows 10 because it will limit my pc performance since this mobo is designed for windows 10 ?

by the way, I'm also about to get core i7 6700k and 16 Gb ram

You can install Windows 7 on that motherboard no problem. I'm sure we have users with that.

I will always recommend Windows 10, with that much expensive hardware if you want it to run and game the best Win 10 is the way to go. But Win 7 will have no problems there.
