    I'm trying make use of the geometry shader but unity is giving me an error saying its not supported, but this makes no sense as I have a GTX 460 graphics card and I'm running Windows 10 (with DirectX 12)

    Trying to use the shader from this thread:

    Can anybody help? Thanks

    The 460 is not a DX12 capable GPU, it came out in 2010, much earlier than DX12. It's DX11. You don't need a DX12 GPU to run Windows 10, Windows 10 merely supports DX12.
