Dx 12?
Will BO III be coded to take advantage of the new Direct X 12?

A few folks have tweeted PCdev about it but no official response. Feel free to ask him @pcdev

Since Windows 10 has been officially released. I would say Black Ops 3 would support Direct x 12.

BO3 uses DX11. This was stated in an interview at E3.

I asked PCDev he said it's win 10 compatible, if that helps. http://gyazo.com/64f7429821665d776f9c1690af915258

The question wasn't whether BO3 is compatible with Win10, but whether it uses DX12 or not. Win10 will run any version of DirectX - even DX7 - as it is backwardly compatible. But BO3 uses DX11 as that is the version that Xbone currently uses (it is due an upgrade to DX12, but that will be too late for BO3).

It won't matter that much if BO3 doesn't use DX12
DX12 just like Mantle removes cpu bottlenecks and scales better
I don't think BO3 will be CPU heavy anyway.

DX11 and DX12 are very similar. dx12 is just preformance increased version of DX11

They are no plans at this time for DX12 support for Black Ops 3.

Well they do mention great scaling with multi gpus/etc, for that comment to work means DX12 might be in play.

BO3 was designed for current gen consoles. That means PS4 and Xbone, which both use DX11. This was all confirmed months ago by PCDev.

Also, DX12 is available only in Win10. What would Win7 and Win8 users do if BO3 used DX12? In fact, Win10 isn't even mentioned in the requirement specs. So, it is a pretty good clue as to whether DX12 is being used - it isn't!

It might still be possible, there are games that use multiple versions of Direct-X (Battlefield 4/Hardline - GTA V - Saints Row 3 etc) .
You can even switch between Mantle and Direct-X on the fly in Battlefield 4.
We will have to wait for the beta before we can judge.
