Well sure it will. There is no Xbox360 and PS3 support. And game is released for Windows 10 for sure. So I wouldn’t have any doubts if I were you) ---

I sure hope so, I can give my game a slight boost with my i7 graphics 😃 ---

I would definitely rather NOT have D12 support than for it to be broken and effect the stability of the game. ---

I would rather see Vulkan support than DX12 support. DX12 is Windows 10 only, whereas Vulkan, which does the same thing, is Windows Xp, Vista, 7, 8, 10, Linux, Android, etc. I mostly play from Windows 7, so I’d like to see Vulkan support so that I (and everyone else) will be able to have the best performance possible. ---

(Because your reply-post here catches fewer attention than launch a new discussion.) ---

> [@FuT-DJ\_Cas](#): > > Did you know that it could be an option to use DX11 or DX12? 🙂 Of course xD I mean that I would rather not have it at all than it be broken(although they could fix it eventually I guess xD), chances are ill be running D11 anyways ---

I agree, I would also rather like to see Vulkan support instead of DX12. So rather give the option DX11 or Vulkan. Especially considering what we’ve seen from Vulkan so far (DOOM running around 200fps, NFS No Limits running much smoother on Vulkan and almost too fast lol, game engines adding Vulkan support almost weekly and not to mention all the existing games getting Vulkan support) and all this and Vulkan is only on version 1. Not bad. ---

(Because your reply-post here catches fewer attention than launch a new discussion.) Yeah, I guess a new post could be a good idea. Windows 7 (64 and 32 bit) users still account for 41.43% of Steam users, while Windows 10 (64 and 32 bit) accounts for 41.4% of Steam users. So Vulkan would benefit everyone, whereas DX12 would benefit less than half of PC players. ---

most of the windows 7 users on steam dont have rigs that could play this, lets just be real. its steam. half of the players there are there for DOTA and TF2. ---

Any particular reason why you haven’t switch to 10? I find it to run better than 7 in day to day use. ---

Win 10 is years ahead of 7. Also, upgrade before July 29th or else you’ll have to pay. Plus you don’t have to hold the rest of us back by not having DX12 support 😉 ---

I find it to run better than 7 in day to day use. I won’t switch to 10 either Reason is simple.Forced updates.If you force me to do anything in my system,i’m not using your OS. ---

workaround? You can just disable it in the settings if you have like the pro, enterprise or business editions. [Next page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/will-the-battlefield-1-support-directx-12/101297.md?page=2)
