Exclusive to Windows 10, gamers will appreciate new features like WDDM 2.0 and DirectX 12. Together, these features provide exceptional efficiency and performance. GeForce Game Ready drivers have already proven to be incredibly efficient with APIs like DirectX 11. Now with the arrival of DirectX 12, there is even less software overhead. This results in lower CPU utilization, increased GPU utilization, and ultimately higher performance.
NVIDIA has been working with Microsoft for years developing DirectX 12, with key hardware support being designed into all Maxwell, Kepler, and Fermi GPU architectures to maximize functionality and performance. DirectX 12 provides game developers with unprecedented low-level access to hardware resources allowing them to truly tailor their games to GeForce GPU architectures and fully take advantage of their features.
