A few weeks ago, Microsoft announced DirectX 12 Ultimate, a version of its API that contains a visual that promises to deliver the latest technology in the best possible way. This will come with Windows 10 May 2020 Update, which can currently be tested on Slow Ring and Download PC Preview.
Among the advancements we can find a new type of Ray Tracing, ray tracing that provides the most realistic lights, directions and objects. In addition, we will have Mesh Shaders and much more within Windows and Xbox Series X, which will allow for the creation of more realistic and calculated scenes for now.
DirectX 12 Ultimate on Nvidia RTX and Quadro
Of course, without the announcement made by Microsoft, we didn't know when or how we would access the current graphics. After all, not only should Microsoft add it to the operating system, but it is imperative that AMD, Nvidia and Intel release an update for their graphics. In addition, because of the nature of things, not everyone will be able to get this upgrade, to maintain existing jobs.
DirectX 12 Ultimate is Microsoft's latest wallpapers API, which sets NTidia & # 39; s RTX introduced in 2018 as the next-generation standard with graphite-real-time graphics. It provides Ray Tracing APIs, Variate Rading Shading, Mesh Shading, Sampler Feedback, and more, allowing developers to use quality displays of cinema, shadows, and lights in games and apps.
These were the names of Nvidia when faced with the new version of DirectX, and that it would be better with the arrival of the Xbox Series X and Hardware. Today and for the first time, Nvidia wanted to let developers use the full potential of the new version.
How to download the latest Nvidia driver
According to him NvidiaThis is the first DirectX 12 Ultimate version of Nvidia GeForce and Nvidia Quadro. We can see some improvement from the first day when it arrives in May 2020. In addition, we will have the latest improvements to the official driver, only to be aimed at engineers.
Currently, the latest technology is only available to those with construction plans introduced in 2018, and which is expected to turn into Ampere this year. Among them we can get from 2060 to Quadro RTX, covering all the light of GeForce and Quadro RTX.
Both imitators and artisans and video-makers can take advantage of these features, even where we've seen the most from Ray Tracxing in games. If we want to see the improvements that Mesh Shaders can bring, the developer has published a video so.
To download it, in addition to needing this Hardware, we have to download the original version, under version 450.82. We can get it out of Windows 10 under the old model and the UWP-approved Nvidia model with DCH drivers.
All of them will ask us to sign up or register as users of Gameworks, a site for Nvidia analysts where we can find all kinds of Software dedicated to developing games or applications that take advantage of all that Nvidia has to offer.
