[QUOTE="EldarOfSuburbia, post: 216911, member: 4106"] Quite right. ChromeOS is grabbing a significant chunk of the market share, especially in the cheap end of the notebook market. I suspect a lot of it is driven by the college market. GPUs are currently in the part of the cycle where the manufacturers are making incremental improvements to their current lines (AMD in particular may seem to be coming out with new cards... until you look closely and see that they're just re-branded versions of previous cards). Wait a year or so for the next drop in die size and big jumps in power. DX12 is still new, Windows 10 is still new. However I fully expect the free upgrade path from Windows 7 to be a success. People like free stuff. Publicity-wise, this is a great move from Microsoft that will help them engage back with a user base who were frustrated by Windows 8/8.1 and didn't pay to upgrade. It also helps that they're consolidating the OS over all platforms - mobile, XBOX, and PC - which will help them in terms of pushing updates and keeping focused. It's too early to see how Windows 10 is selling, and the upgrades are still rolling out. In 6 months there will be a decent picture. Anyway - as far as DX12 support in TPA goes, I'd not hold my breath. There aren't many titles out there that currently support DX12, even new titles. I wouldn't expect that until XONE supports it.
