    Microsoft just released details of DirectX 12 and it's quite possible for SE make a Directx 12 client instead. DirectX 12 should be much more beneficial to FFXIV with "Multi-thread scaling + 50% better CPU utilization". I expect this to allow higher character limit and higher FPS in high populated areas. Unlike previous Directx versions DirectX 12 should work with over 80% of gamer PCs currently being sold.

    I really do hope Mantle takes off. If it does I bet you windows 7 will get DirectX 12 support. If SE does ever supports mantle I'll be switching back to AMD video card. It solves the CPU overhead problem too.
