DX12 Beta on Win7

• Win7 SP1 players with NVIDIA graphics cards that meets the minimum requirement can now enable the DX12 Beta client!
  
• Please update your graphics driver to the latest version (versions before August 27th, 2019 does not support this feature)
  
• Due to incomplete operating system support, DX12-on-Win7 will experience a frame drop in Windowed mode. We highly recommend that players experience DX12 in Borderless or Fullscreen mode for better performance. Since this issue comes from the OS itself, we will actively stay in communication with Microsoft and we hope the system can be fully supported in the near future
  
• Please note: As of now, only Nvidia graphics card Win7 users are eligible to enable the DX12 client. We are maintaining active communication and cooperation with AMD and will add support for AMD graphics cards as soon as possible. Please pay attention to our future updates on this matter, thank you for your support and understanding.
  
• The minimum hardware requirements for the Win7 DX12 client are as follows:
  
  
  
  • OS: Windows7 6.1.7601 and above
    
  • Graphics card driver: 26.21.4.3615 and above (we highly recommend updating your graphics card driver to the latest version)
