did NSA took part in it's development?

What was the point of you mentioning it anyway?

Of course, Think of the Nyan cats you could render in DX12, Obviously, It'd cause world terror and catastrophe when Time square became Nyan square.

Quote from logan2611 :

Umm, you missed one, DirectX12(Win Vista and 7)!
Very great graphics compatibility.

DX 12 was apparantly merged with DX 11

Quote from Wikipedia :

DirectX 11.1 is included in Windows 8. It supports WDDM 1.2 for increased performance, features tighter integration of Direct2D, Direct3D, and DirectCompute, and includes DirectXMath, XAudio2, and XInput libraries from the XNA framework. It also features stereoscopic 3D support for gaming and video.[38]

Doesnt seem like much future planning for DX12.

I heard a different theory. DX12 turned out to have all functions and algorithms 3D engine programmers will ever need, thus eliminating the progress in the area of GPUs and APIs, which in turn would cost MS, nVidia and AMD hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Incidntally, the lead programmer died in a car accident and the project was discontinued...
