Until next year, the Xbox One is still inferior to its close rival, Playstation 4, in terms of resolution and game performance but with the arrival of DirectX 12, the console should be able to catch up although the graphics card is still using DirectX 11 technology. Maybe the graphics card should have the backported features of DirectX 12 for better performance and graphics but it doesn't seem to help out alot until the REAL DirectX 12 graphics card is out in the future. I don't know if you can replace the current graphics card with the DirectX 12 one for Xbox One but it is already possible for the desktop computers in the future. OK, you don't need to upgrade the graphics card hardware for Xbox One, Windows Phones and Windows tablets to get superior grahpics. You just need to do the software update of DirectX and that's it.
Downside though, only DirectX 12 games will make use of DirectX 12 graphics cards and the worse thing is that there will be heating issues for DirectX 11 graphics card. That is going to be a common downside and issue for devices using DirectX 11 graphics card and even Xbox One will be the included as the same victim too. Maybe next year, there should be a new Xbox One model with the DirectX 12 graphics card to fix this issue and get better performance.

DirectX 12 for PC, Xbox One and mobile
At GDC in San Francisco, Microsoft had revealed the DirectX 12 technology for their platforms ranging from PCs, Windows Phones and even Xbox One. Now, how can Xbox One and Windows Phones get the DirectX upgrade when there's some different technical behavior of the Windows Kernel? It is said that there will be performance boost with DirectX 12 but then, it can be backported to Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 when possible to make them even faster.
Intel, AMD, Quadcomm, etc. are developing their new technology that will support DirectX 12 entirely by hardware. The ones today are still using DirectX 10 or 11 but I suggest playing games on the computers with DirectX 11 powered video cards for better performance.
With DirectX 12, the Xbox One will have better features for games and the PC games using DirectX 12 will be able to get the latest generation console level.
For NVIDIA, they have GeForce Titan Black in which you're going to buy that video card in the future for your desktop computer in case of superior future gaming or some hardware problem with your current video card that you may want to replace it.

DirectX 12
The next event will be taking place in Game Developers Conference sometime this month with AMD, Intel, NVIDIA and Qualcomm being involved in addition to Microsoft regarding DirectX12. It won't be available until the release of Windows 9 that will be released next year. Personally, I guess that the great educational disaster will arrive to my brain until the release of Windows 10 which can make things even better. It may be a giant disaster for my brain that I may get seriously neglected for using Windows 9 for sure. Maybe I'm skipping that upcoming version until Windows 10 in the future. So basically, I don't have time for anything that uses the power of number 9.

The Costly Mistake event
It's time to visit the past to see the fictional invasive catastrophe. It's more like a fictional sci-fi alien invasion thingy than a mysterious disaster sort of event as organized by DirectX Co-Creator. The event was supposed to take place in 1996 in Halloween. It had the reference to X-Files, Area-51 and so on but this was supposed to be a gaming related event. Sure, there would be cool games to play back then on Windows 95 days with the arrival of Direct-X technology. Why were you required to install that? Well, that technology was a new thing back then needed for advanced looking games for Windows.
In 1995, it was when DirectX was firstly shown in prototype stages before it was re-shown again in final stages as well as the introduction of Direct3D. The event in 1996 was supposed to be a huge one but then, it seemed that Microsoft had to cancel it at the last moment which was kind of unfortunate. For that event, things were supposed to resemble certain Sci-Fi alien themed shows as well as the involvement of some X-Files actors. For example, the interior was supposed to resemble the alien spaceship thing. On the inside for the event, people could see Bill Gates with the mask that would make them think that he was an alien or some sort. The event should be lasting three days and there was an online game tournament.
In the middle of the speech, it was interrupted and the developers were sent to the military base to see some huge alien vessel as part of the event.
Well, those were all the plans the DirectX Co-Creator had gotten as well as Microsoft. In 1997, he was apparently gotten a bad review of a 2/10 and got fired as a result for some silly alien abduction plans as part of the event. It was kind of controversial in the past to the company and the consumers as if there was a fake alien invasion all along planned by Microsoft.
Eventually, the alien ship thing was taken down and still sitting somewhere inside the company premise for years. Today. it looks like the same kind of mistake is bound to happen but in completely different way with the upcoming launch of Xbox One. That kind of modern event failure to that DirectX Co-Creator reminded him of his event failure in 1996 and that failure was kind of nostalgic.
You know, what that guy did was seriously unforgivable to Microsoft as if all the alien abduction stuffs were starting to look fake anyway and especially for the spaceship. Having to abduct people like that as part of the event as well as to make things extremely costly should not be parts of the event anyway. It should be displaying a bunch of epic looking games on screen similar to E3 today, not making up certain scenes from alien invasion movies like that.
Okay then, here are the following links taken from his blog:

DirectX 11.1
Windows 8 has an updated DirectX 11.1 that supports Direct3D 11.1, DXGI 1.2 and the revised Windows Imaging Component. There were previous official claims that the new PC gaming technology in DirectX 11 is available for Windows 8 devices but to make things inaccurately fair enough, there are some backported features of DirectX 11 for Windows 7 and its server variant under Platform Update for Service Pack 1 that is included with Internet Explorer 10 Release Preview for Windows 7. In addition, you can get this update for Windows 7.
However, there are some DirectX elements that depend on WDDM 1.2 drivers and the new Windows Store app APIs in which they won’t be available on Windows 7. Maybe things are much smoother like that on Windows 8 but another improvement includes the fixes of decoding of 96bpp floating-point TIFF images. So for Windows 7 users, you can obtain this update and start photo-shopping straight away and save the pictures as TIFF files for technological improvement.

Shooting Watch Triangle Service Version
Identical to Hudson Soft version but this one will somewhat require both DirectX 9 and 10 to me. Not playable in my PC as there's something wrong with DirectX 9 even I had installed DirectX 9.0C with latest update. However, I managed to play this in Windows Vista PC in my living room but that PC doesn't belong to me and it is not powerful enough for gaming or advanced business. Nothing's confidential about computer specifications but something important about computer specifications is checking and comparing them.
