Like the title says I am worried about my hardware, especially my two GTX 780s not being supported by DX 12. Does anyone know if they are going to have any backwards compatibility?
all directx 11 / 11.1 /11.2 gpu card will support the new directx 12
the only thing is the new directx 12 will not be support in windows 7 so far but windows 8.1
the release of directx 12 will be a the end of 2015
In addition, NVIDIA will match Microsoft OS support for DX12. Over 70% of gaming PCs are now DX11 based. NVIDIA will support the DX12 API on all the DX11-class GPUs it has shipped; these belong to the Fermi, Kepler and Maxwell architectural families. With more than 50% market share (65% for discrete graphics) among DX11-based gaming systems, NVIDIA alone will provide game developers the majority of the potential installed base...
