Support NeoGAF

[Nzyme32]

AMD lead engineer accepting defeat? This guy unveiled Mantle last year!

Accepting success. Mantle kicked MS into releasing this. Its also pushed OGL activity

 

[ElTorro]

seems like we don't have to upgrade our GPU

The feature's so far seem to be GPU-agnostic and focus more on the implementation of the DirectX runtime than on support of new GPU features (if any).

 

[Naminator]

BOOOM!

Current hardware supported!

banderas.gif!

 

[Hoo-doo]

That's what I want to know. Maybe it's nothing more than just saying, with the improvements, it doesn't take a hit in performance, so it is indeed improving?

You'd think the improvements would be worth mentioning.

 

[DJSebolski]

Waiting for Respawn to announce 1080p locked 60fps on X1.

 

[HRose]

OMG. DX12 renders a Xbox ONE game at 60FPS on undisclosed hardware. Who would have imagined this?

 

[On Demand]

It's not dropping one frame but maybe they now have room to increase IQ or get that 3D crowd back in

Come on ekim reveal whats about to happen with DX12 GPU hidden under the second layer of the 3 OS hyper drivers 3.2TF R290x based Sony's day is done mark cerny lies left developers with 2010 GPU to suffer MS couldn't speak about real performance of XB1 yet GAF going burn along with Sony paid sheep ponies


Guys?

 

[justsomeguy]

Massively disappointed so far (from an XBone perspective) considering the hype this was getting.

 

[Klocker]

What is the point of porting an already locked 60fps game and showing that it remains at 60fps?

:24 Ryan Shrout:

Resource lifetime, track memory directly. No longer have D3D tracking that lifetime, much cheaper on resources.



10:23 Ryan Shrout: Bundles allows for instancing but with variance.

The feature's so far seem to be GPU-agnostic and focus more on the implementation of the DirectX runtime than on support of new GPU features (if any).

Would be dumb to release a new console and announce a new API 6 months later which doesn't run on that new console.

 

[Chettlar]

Josh Walrath: DX12 will enhance any modern graphics chip. Driver support from IHVs will be key to enable those features. This is a massive change in how DX addresses the GPU, rather than (so far) the GPU adding features.

.

 

[Dr.Schlomo]

But it didn't drop before either?

Not that I know of. I think it might be something like, "Hey we ported our engine over in four months and the game still runs just as it previously did but with the added improvements of dx12."

 

[BennyBlanco]

MS: "This will make bringing xb1 games to PC far easier, we just choose not to ever do that."

Is that basically the gist?

yep.

so this means xbox one will get a performance boost?

10:32 Scott Michaud:
Yes

Ummm

 

[ghst]

this is the most interested i've been in anything microsoft have had to say in a very long time.

 

[deadhorse32]

Mantle was AMD way to tell MS : If you don't bring the long overdue update we need, we are going to bring our own API. And then Nvidia is going to come up with their own and chaos will ensue. Move you ass !!!

And it worked. Mission accomplished.

 

[ekim]

Come on ekim reveal whats about to happen with DX12 GPU hidden under the second layer of the 3 OS hyper drivers 3.2TF R290x based Sony's day is done mark cerny lies left developers with 2010 GPU to suffer MS couldn't speak about real performance of XB1 yet GAF going burn along with Sony paid sheep ponies


Guys?

What reveal? I corrected my initial tease and said it probably isn't about this conference.

Guys?

Great find.

 

[heyf00L]

They're making overmuch of the Xbone improvements. For the most part this is bringing something consoles already enjoy over to PC.

 

[mercenar1e]

Ryan Shrout: Intel commits to having Haswell support DX12 at launch.

 

[Gestault]

I wonder if the cut out cardboard crowds in Forza look better with DX12?

God willing.

 

[Impeccable]

The sauce is real, MisterX the prophet.

 

[CoG]

Massively disappointed so far (from an XBone perspective) considering the hype this was getting.

Did you really expect that DX12 would make 1080p happen? Having PC GPUs for eons there's never been a case where a never version of DX reinvented old hardware.

 

[Caayn]

OMG. DX12 renders a Xbox ONE game at 60FPS on undisclosed hardware. Who would have imagined this?

Uhmmm... no offense but Forza runs on a very stable 60fps 1080p on retail Xbox One hardware already. The port is just to show that it's simple to port to DX12 with no hit in performance.

 

[rob305]

Yeah thats what I want to know as well

 

[sangreal]

finally, nvidia

 

[TC McQueen]

Ryan Shrout: Intel commits to having Haswell support DX12 at launch.

I hope that doesn't mean that us Ivy Bridge PC gamers get screwed by a long delay.

 

[Uncle Rupee]

God willing.

Did the crowd turn their back on the driver in disgust?

 

[justsomeguy]

God willing.

Gotta say, as bad as that crowd is, the rest of that (tiny, low colour low res) GIF looks photo realistic

 

[cyberheater]

finally, nvidia

Indeed. I am moist.

Guys?

Hahaha, you're pretty good at this.

 

[Majukun]

so..will this make mantle useless?

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Time to all bow down and worship our new overlord Mister (Direct) X 12 Media!

Spoiler

kidding as if I even need to say so

 

[VisceralBowl]

Ryan Shrout: NVIDIA will support DX12 on Fermi, Kepler, Maxwell and forward!

 

[aeolist]

anything that reduces CPU overhead is good for a system with a really weak CPU, this doesn't really improve GPU performance though and that's where the xbone suffers compared to PS4

 

[ElTorro]

Would be dumb to release a new console and announce a new API 6 months later which doesn't run on that new console.

Yes. I expected nothing else. Reducing CPU footprint and parallelizing the runtime is surely the most important thing anyway, given the six Jaguar cores.

 

[Klocker]

They claim improved performance

 

[ashecitism]

Accepting success. Mantle kicked MS into releasing this. Its also pushed OGL activity

Not sure what it has to do with OGL. Its extensions were already there before Mantle was announced.

 

[Dreamgazer]

I'm honestly wondering what some people were expecting from an API upgrade.

 

[mercenar1e]

I hope that doesn't mean that us Ivy Bridge PC gamers get screwed by a long delay.

long delay is expected

 

[Dlacy13g]

Yeah thats what I want to know as well

Pretty sure that was to show this will be beneficial to Xbox One games and that porting is relatively painless.

 

[plagiarize]

I'm presuming the Forza bit was just about the relative ease of porting a game to DX12. Nothing more, nothing less.

 

[TrueGrime]

Would it be difficult to ask someone to update the OP with relevant information. I'm not a techie by far and it's difficult to distinguish what is what with all the posts.

 

[OldAsUrSock]

They should have locked Forza's fps to 120fps, so we could see the difference.

 

[Echoplx]

"NVIDIA will support DX12 on Fermi, Kepler, Maxwell and forward!"

Fuck yes.

 

[McHuj]

I want more benchmarks, dammit!

 

[Nzyme32]

Not sure what it has to do with OGL. Its extensions were already there before Mantle was announced.

Indeed, I'm referencing there talk that is apparently today?

 

[PlumCantaloupe]

Did the crowd turn their back on the driver in disgust?

Nah they are always judging the player.
