AMD is a company that is known for being one of the top dogs in creating video card technology. They continually do battle with Nvidia, who proves to be quite a rival in the veritable arms race of computing technology. Their competition is good for us, though, as it ensures we get the best product for a somewhat decent price.
AMD has revealed their compatability list for the upcoming DirectX 12 software. DirectX is the reason water, angles and other smaller facets of your video games are so beautiful. The group of applications has become somewhat standard in the world of gaming. Unlike AMD and Nvidia, DirectX goes somewhat unopposed.
