Can I enable RTX on windows 7, DX11

[ヤスクニ Heroes]

I have rtx card but I dont see any option. The game is running at 1080p at 150~ fps. I'm assuming its off.

RTX is windows 10 exclusive... also why the F would U have a RTX card and run windows 7.

I can run rtx quake and tomb raider rtx on win 7. DX12 is windows exclusive.

That's because they use Vulkan and not Directx. If the game doesn't support Vulkan then it isn't going to run RTX on Windows 7 without specific support from MS and the game company, World of Warcraft is the only game I'm aware of that has implemented this type of limited DX12 support.

He is right and everyone who has a bit knowledge about PC knows W7 is the best OS and has way less bloatware than W10. There is a reason why W7 QPC timer resolution has the best times. Cuz there is almost no input lag dou bloatware. Go educate urself.

W10 current version has a latency timer of 15ms dude - w7 has 0,5.
Also w10 comes with million of spyware / bloatware which w7 doesnt have. I mean sure you can download w10 without bloatware but its recommended only for people who know what they're doing. So stop providing wrong information without any proof. You cant just say "wrong" cuz hes right.

not to mention the insane amount of telemetry and data collection that you have to muddle through to switch off

You sir, you know what im talking about. I hope you can fix your RTX issue tho. Good luck mate.

thanks. for the most part windows 7 is running smoothly, maybe a game crashes once a month. i was thinking to upgrade but w10 forced updates are flat out illegal. I hope microsoft ends up in court.

i’ve also compared dx11 vs dx12 and graphically found they are equivalent.

metro looks good to me now, i’m sure it would look better if rtx was on, but i’m running max setting at 1080p and it’s 150-200 fps. no crashes and no complaints

That's because the main point of DX12 is that it's supposed to be more efficient than DX11, for the most part it's not about adding extra graphical features (ray tracing being an exception).

As with most things on the PC you'll find some people say it does improve performance in games that use it and others that say it doesn't, or has caused other problems.

There's an early article here that sets out what they were trying to achieve with it.

I think RTX does look better, but it does become a bit of a background thing when you're being shot at by bandits, so it's nice to have but not essential to enjoying the game.

Hell no!

You should try Windows 3.11

Get out of here with your nonsense windows and icons and stuff. I bet you are even using mouse. Yuck
Only true master system is MS-DOS.

I'm thinking about it...

No most but not all RTX games require DX12 metro is one that requires it

no, i wold just go to console gaming before putting windows 10 on my PC, i want my computer to still be useable. on top of being resource intensive spyware, windows 10 even with heavy tweaking has an UNUSABLE UI! i hate windows 7, but alteast with enogh tweeking it can feel like vista with classic start menu, just not as light or stable as vista.
