Rumours that DirectX 12 will allow PC owners to tap into multiple GPUs simultaneously have been confirmed.
Rumours of such a possibility emerged in February, and now Microsoft has confirmed that the API’s Multiadapter feature will use the power found across several graphics cards and even integrated GPUs simultaneously.
At GameStack Live, Microsoft announced and released the new DirectX 12 Agility SDK, which delivers DX12 Ultimate features to a larger base. There will benefits for Xbox, too.
Pretty cool. Should help devs adopt more modern rendering techniques on both PC & Xbox rather than have to target old versions to cover the majority of their users.

Crash restart lockup repeat. Windows. Wonder what will happen to people who take health advice from its creator.
As a note: WDDM 2.7 requires you to have updated drivers (which currently no official WQHL driver w/ support is available for Nvidia yet. Only development branch 450.xx). Also you need a 7th gen or newer Intel CPU w/ igpu, or a 10 series or newer Nvidia GPU, or latest AMD offerings.
Last time I update, the ethernet driver wasnt available so no matter what (even factory reset) I can't go online. The only way to update is to go online lol. Well I always wanted an offline laptop, so I guess got what I wish for :/
Mister X's dual GPU dream came true, not in the way he wanted though.
Lol.
As a Titan X Superclocked SLI owner, my night has been completed on this confirmation! At the same time, if it rids the need for SLI (or Crossfire, take your pick), it would have to enable memory stacking to make the most sense!
Would be nice if I could use Intel + amd card simultaneously on my laptop :P
