You mean that API that might come at some point in the far-flung future when they're done “looking into DX11.1”?

It'll gain marginally more FPS for those that remain fascinated by the little numbers in the top left of their screens...nothing more. The faithful can then boast that they clipped through a ship at a whopping 55fps rather than 40fps I suppose. Meanwhile, we're creeping ever closer to November 19th when Star Citizen becomes not only mildly irrelevant but wholly irrelevant in gaming circles both current and future.For @Mole HD a good detail on the difference between gen 11 API and gen 12 API.
DirectX 11 and DirectX 12: Which One is Better?
DirectX 12 debuted two years back, promising significant performance and efficiency boosts across the board. This includes better CPU utilization, closer to metal access as well as a host of new features, most notably ray-tracing or DXR (DirectX Ray-tracing). But what exactly is DirectX 12, and...
Another one :
It's not proof that SC will have a huge boost in framerate with the switch to Vulkan. The gain in FPS should only be important if CIG rework deeply the way CE/Lumberyard works. There is no benchmark, only dev talking about some changes they work at. But at least, there should be some gains for sure.
What do you mean? The next milestone is near the end of this month, when the new SC backer standard for minimum acceptable hardware comes out in the form of the RTX 3090
All of the backers that want one will have to sell an Idris to buy it though...I'll stick with my twin SLi RTX 2070 supers...sold my 4 year old GTX 1080ti to buy a second one...and got changeWhat do you mean?

Below minimum requirement hardware create bugs. At worst, a game don't run at all. Agony_Aunt have half the memory needed.
A superb crash (not even stutter or bugs) of RDR2 after just 11 seconds (and its a released game) when ran on half the memory needed.
Does SC warn you when you try to run it on HDD? With just 8gb ram?
My wife warns me every time I fire Star Citizen up... "Don't you dare wake me up at 2am shouting at the monitor like a mad old person when it crashes again..!"
Don't forget... Chris Roberts used Hollywood Accounting and dozens of shell companies.
I just talk about bugs not performance. The minimum requirement is 16Go. You can find the telemetry here to know hom much FPS you can expect from your system.
There is only a warning about memory, not about the SSD.
There's no warning in the game at all about memory requirement, I just tried firing it up with an old 8GB stick...we're not talking about what Ci¬G claim on their website....they claim lots of things

Yes, the average FPS is pretty slow.
I've played with a warning of "you only have 7.8GB" for 1 year. Yes there is a message, I don't know why it doesn't appear on your system with only 8GB.
