World of Warcraft also keeps things fresh with major changes, sizeable updates, and world-changing events. On December 11th, Blizzard will launch the game’s latest update, Tides of Vengeance which, in addition to new story and gameplay elements, includes DirectX 12 changes that enable higher utilization of your GPU, giving you much improved performance in the game’s most demanding moments.

As Blizzard’s Ryan Anderson, Engine Lead for World of Warcraft, explains, “DirectX 12 has enabled World of Warcraft to reduce the CPU cost of rendering, thereby improving framerate on NVIDIA GPUs.”
