ignoring? how am i "ignoring" help? the only help you gave me was just telling me Windows 10 is supposedly including the DirectX 12 drivers in the base install.. which is clearly not true unless i got a really really weird installation bug of some sort.

the other help tip i got was from Anti-Ultimate advising me it could be my driver. however, as i was a bit confused on that matter since as i said, the only time ive ever heard of drivers being bugged or having something like this happen with other versions, like games crashing due to DirectX 11 errors is because of driver updates over-time.. which i had not done in this case since its a less than a month old Win 10 install and only 1 driver install, so i wanted to make sure that his advice applied in this case as well since i wouldn't think it did.

so please clarify how that is "ignoring".


and if im coming off a bit "Agressive" or such, i do apologize, but your last post (that im quoting) contributes nothing but comes off similarly to a "troll comment".

Fermi GPUs do not have DX12 support (yet). Last time I heard NVIDIA claimed they would add DirectX 12 support to Fermi GPUs later, and until the time of this writing, Fermi GPUs remain DX11 only.

woah, really? but, than how come the actual website for the GTX 570 as shown in the screenshot, as well as the DirectX 12 supported products on NVIDIA's website list (http://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/dx12/supported-gpus?field_gpu_type_value=All&page=4), list it as supporting? thats a bit false advertising than.

Anti-Ultimate was giving you something to try and you just ignored it because you didn't think it was the cause.

Anyways, if you're on the latest drivers and you don't see D3D12 support, that means your card does not support D3D12 yet. I checked to see if there were beta drivers available for your card, and there is not.

Sometimes the people who make the hardware and write the drivers aren't always in sync with the people who manage the user facing sites. It happens more than you'd think.


As it stands right now, you cannot use D3D12.

It is indeed false advertising. All Geforce 400 and 500 series will claim DX12 support on their respective pages but they still remain DX11, even in the latest drivers available. You can check that by running any other DX12 app, you'll have the same problems...

oh okay, well thank you. you answered very swiftly what i failed to figure out with 4 - 5 hours of googling/troubleshooting. so thank you.

as to the first part, as i stated. i did not ignore his advise, i just was unsure it was applicable to my situation, so i was going to await confirmation that it was indeed a possibility before wasting an hour or two removing my drivers and than re-installing them, its a hassle id rather not do unless i know there is a potential benefit of it.

as to the other 3/4 of your comment, thats a big reason i was confused this whole time. my gpu's product page as well as nvidias "supported products" listing does indeed list my GPU so i was majorly confused what was going wrong and where so i could fix it. as i stated to Jhonn, "false advertising" although, this is NVIDIA so im not entirely surprised it hasnt been rectified by now to stop confusion.

BTW, from the source I was referring to:

Quote:NVIDIA will support the DX12 API on all DX11-class GPUs it has shipped; these belong to the Fermi, Kepler and Maxwell architectural families. At launch, DirectX 12 is supported by all Maxwell and Kepler GPUs. Fermi will receive DX12 support later this year (expected around the first wave of DX12 content).

By the date of this post, "late this year" was supposed to be 2015, but well, it's already 2016 and no support either, so, all you can do is wait...
