Then again, maybe SCS will not have to update to DX12 (even though I would like to see what DX12 can do), if I understood correctly what DX11.3 is supposed to be able to do. But would this help increase framerate within cities or is it something related to just the game engine?Īnd finally, with OpenGL, can a graphic card like the R9 290 that is said to support OpenGL 4.3 (then I read about something elsewhere about it supporting 4.4 as well, not in below link), could its driver be updated to support OpenGL 4.5? I personally would be willing to pay to have such support added to the game. Or would we have to wait till future games? And how hard will it be to add fallback support? Is it possible for SCS to add DX 12 or OpenGL 4.5 to ETS2 or ATS? Since their support has been so superb.

bility.pdf (page 3)īut I am not sure about DX 12, one user on a different forum was pretty angry about a developer using DX11 when the user had DX10: (strong language advisory)īut on another site, a user mentions fallback support. It seems that OpenGL will maintain reverse compatiablity so there may not be a problem there for older graphic cards (I don't really know). Since these API's are now focusing on efficiency, if SCS were ever to update to only DX 12 or OpenGL 4.5 (if they can) would the current game or future games be reverse compatible with older graphics cards that don't support the new API?
