We could say that DirectX is libraries used to design and develop programs for multimedia, videos, and video games, version 12 is the last of these libraries and has been created exclusively for Windows 10 and Xbox One, revolutionizing performance, especially in CPUs of four or more cores and multi-GPU. These DirectX 12 features provide you with extraordinary potential to achieve incredibly higher performance on existing hardware in use. Oxide Games and Stardock, this is a strategy game that will appear soon and will use the 8 cores of AMD FX-8370 processors and will offer excellent performance, image quality, and resolutions. The benefits of this feature can already be seen in real games. It allows taking advantage of the current CPUs that have several nuclei, being able to distribute among the various nuclei the tasks to be carried out providing speed of execution. ![]() The location of the characters, the illumination, the creation of reflections, and the loading of textures are some of the elements that are processed in this functionality. The other feature is multi-threaded command buffer recording, the lists of activities to be executed in a game are the command buffer, they are the series of activities that the CPU organizes and sends to the graphic card for processing. The activities that are executed are distributed in several work threads to decrease the execution times, this causes a decrease in the rendering time, decreasing the drawing time and providing more frames per second and therefore better VR environment. In the most recent versions in the GPU, the graphic functions of calculation and also of memory are carried out at the same time. ![]() This set of Apis also manages everything related to 2d and 3d graphics and peripherals such as a mouse, keyboard, sound, and network communications.Īmong the most outstanding features, we will mention Async shaders that by means of graphic engines performs mathematical calculations so that the PC can display an image on the screen of your monitor. They allow the integration of application software so that through a set of rules communication can be established between two applications.ĭirectX makes video games always optimal for Windows, allowing everything to work properly on your PC.

Other benefits include a huge install base and prepackaged software support. Running ZFS on my NAS has been a pure joy (as much as any file system can be) and that's what moved needle from Linux Mint toward Ubuntu. Ubuntu with ZFS was Linux of my choice primarily because of the ZFS support. However, for the first time in the last 10 years I am dual booting again. ![]() With Linux Desktop getting better and better while Windows 10 is getting more and more annoying, I figured I need to revisit installing Linux at home too.Īnd no, I didn't go full-in. However, at home I still used Windows 10 as my main OS. ![]() I even switched almost completely to Linux at work - Outlook and Excel being the only reason why I still have Windows VM. I've been playing with Linux/Unix servers for a long time now - both at work and home. ![]() Once you have installed the preferred software you will be required to activate the software within 30 days of installation.Select your preferred download and follow the onscreen directions.Enter your Vanderbilt email address and ePassword.You must be a current Vanderbilt student, faculty or staff member.Students/Faculty/Staff - How to get Office 365 ProPlus: The Office 365 ProPlus program allows you to use the latest version of Office on up to 5 PC's or Macs and your mobile devices.
