Microsoft DX12 Port Support Adds Ray Tracing to Windows 7

With the ray tracing technology largely being locked to Windows 10 via DirectX 12, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Microsoft wouldn't be in any particular hurry (nor indeed any despite) to bring support to Windows 7. The operating system is, after all, two-generations old now and, more so, is set to be officially discontinued (or more accurately, support will end) in 6 months. In a report via PCGamesN, however, Microsoft has provided new DX12 port support resources that will potentially allow game developers to bring ray tracing support to games running on Windows 7.
