There is always something to look forward to when PC gaming is concerned, particularly on the graphics side of things. Microsoft's upcoming graphical API, DirectX 12, will provide improved visuals and upgraded performance for two of the most anticipated titles of 2015: "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" and "Batman: Arkham Knight." According to Game Debate, information concerning the API update was leaked by MSI, a popular PC motherboard and graphics card manufacturing company.
