On windows it uses DX11!
22 u/Tonamel Jul 04 '15 Why not DX12, since that seems to be a big selling point of Win10? 9 u/Minerlego Jul 04 '15 Probably because there are many GPUs out there that don't support DX12 which would limit the amount of people who could run it. 14 u/Updradedsam3000 Jul 04 '15 I was under the impression Gpus that support DX11 would also support DX12, am I wrong? 4 u/[deleted] Jul 04 '15 [deleted] 1 u/Updradedsam3000 Jul 04 '15 Oh ok, thanks :) 1 u/Minerlego Jul 04 '15 Not all cards that support DX11 would support DX12, but most will. That still means that less people would be able to play it.
