Now let's see if AMD can pick up the ball for directx aswell.

Wow Rome II...a lot of CPU dependency there but that's great news. My GPU was way underutilized. I'm assuming SLi must be working now, too.

All DX11 cards yes. They just used some GTX700 series card (probably 780Ti) and some games as examples.

Oh god, diablo 3 stutters too?

I'l download it again and check - didn't run it on a decent system - but if it's anything like sc2, that's horrifying to think of future game developments from Blizzard - Heroes of the storm looks exactly like Starcraft 2 in terms of microstuttering and occasional engine stalls. I remember d3 stalled the same way too, but i was using a laptop with a 60hz screen and less sensitive to microstutter, so it didn't bother me particularly - maybe it's not as bad there as sc2

I'l check it out and go do my more in-depth look at sc2 microstutter w/ 120fps nvenc recordings, but that's worrying for the future
