Make DX12 the Default API on Windows #2719

@cwfitzgerald

Description

@cwfitzgerald

For a variety of reasons, we want to make DX12 the default API on windows:

  • DXGI swapchains work a lot better on windows than vulkan WSI, particuarly AMD and Intel's. They are much more stable and more well behaved.
  • Cleaner interop with native apis.
  • Better debug layer and ease of bug reports as well as access to tools like PIX.

Before we make the switch, we need to get the DX12 backend tested and the major holdups fixed. This isn't a complete list and please add things as they are found.

Blocking Issues:

There are some driver issues that we may not be able to fix, but we should keep in mind:
