Microsoft has promised to take PC gaming to the next level with DirectX 12, which will be launching alongside Windows 10 exclusively. While the company won’t fully unveil DirectX 12 until next month, Anandtech managed to get its hands on an early build and was kind enough to test things out for us, and it looks very promising so far.

Bringing our preview of DirectX 12 to a close, what we’re seeing today is both a promising sign of what has been accomplished so far and a reminder of what is left to do. As it stands much of DirectX 12’s story remains to be told – features, feature levels, developer support, and more will only finally be unveiled by Microsoft next month at GDC 2015. So today’s preview is much more of a beginning than an end when it comes to sizing up the future of DirectX. But for the time being we’re finally at a point where we can say the pieces are coming together, and we can finally see parts of the bigger picture. Drivers, APIs, and applications are starting to arrive, giving us our first look at DirectX 12’s performance. And we have to say we like what we’ve seen so far.
