This has been spun into allegations that AMD doesn't support "full" DirectX 12. The current confusion seems to have been caused by comments from AMD's Robert Hallock, who acknowledged that the various AMD GCN-class GPUs support different feature levels of DirectX 12.

Recently, however, there's been some confusion over what level of support Intel, AMD, and Nvidia will offer for the new API and which products will run the upcoming games that rely on it. For more than a year, AMD and Nvidia have been advertising that various older GPU families would support DirectX 12 at launch. Now that Windows 10 is finally shipping, the question of DirectX compatibility is going to move from a marketing bullet point to a tangible issue for users.
