Sa Directx 30 System Requirements Fixed ❲HOT - Handbook❳

Unlike previous DirectX iterations where requirements shifted mid-cycle (e.g., DirectX 12 adding Mesh Shaders and Sampler Feedback post-launch), a “fixed” DirectX 30 would theoretically freeze feature levels at launch. This means a GPU purchased on Day 1 of the API would support all software features for the API’s entire lifespan. No more “Tier 1 vs. Tier 2” variable support. The requirement would be binary: either the GPU has the fixed feature set, or it does not.
