Hello Unknown_Coder,
Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities.
In regards to DirectX 12 Ultimate, just to clarify; this is not a new API, but rather the new branding of "DirectX feature level 12_2" or "DirectX 12.2". This is the feature set that wraps up several features that Microsoft and its partners have been working on over the past few years which include:
- DirectX Raytracing
- Variable Rate Shading
- Mesh Shaders
- Sampler Feedback
Follow this link for further information.
In order to claim DirectX 12 Ultimate compatibility all of the 4 key features previously mentioned have to be supported in software and hardware. None of the Intel® platforms released in 2020 or earlier (Tiger Lake or older) support all 4 key features, therefore are not compatible with DirectX 12 Ultimate. And as mentioned, we cannot comment on unannounced features or future plans for existing products.
Regards,
Sebastian M
