DirectX12 Cards - Release Dates

Hey; I am waiting for the new Direct X12 video cards to come out; anyone know when they will be released?

I have Windows 8, will I need an upgrade to access DirectX12.

I am planning to spend around 800 Au for a new Graphics Card and upgrade to 16 GB ram.

Any tips or advice;

Thanks - I always get good advice here.

If you have a weak CPU or power supply then it might hinder your graphics card.

Also current video cards like the Nvidia 970 and 980 already support directx 12.

Directx 12 probably won't be out for another year or so and games probably won't use it for a while after that.

I got my 2 dx12 cards a few months ago, give or take.
