AMD’s Robert Hallock: “The vast majority of DX12 titles in 2015/2016 are partnering with AMD”

While the ongoing debate over DX12 performance favoring one architecture over the other is still going strong, with claims from both AMD and Oxide Games, the Head of Global Technical Marketing at AMD, Robert Hallock, claims that the vast majority of DX12 titles in the next two years will be partnering with AMD.

Says "most" and releases a slide naming 2.

I guess the real question is, how many DX12 games are coming out, and are these DX11 games with DX12 tacked on or are they DX12 games that actually make use of DX12 or do they just make use of DX12 to overcome AMD's DX11 performance issues.

Yer, I thought it was comedy and I expect there are a few more games coming but not mentioned yet, so 2 out of the 3 games mentioned technically is "most"

AMD are all talk, actions speak louder than words.

I'm sure it will be business as usual with some games supporting one and some games supporting the other. Lately there seems to be more on NVidia's side which presumably is down to gameworks, Whether that changes remains to be seen. It's good AMD have been quick out the box getting there name on a few of the first DX12 titles but I imagine that's all it is and it's not some migration effect due to DX12 being AMD's thing which is poppycock.

Two "offically" announced. More to be announced when ready.

I love AMD hardware but I'll believe it when I see it! No doubt nVidia will be throwing its chequebook around!!!!

I think it may be due to the consoles using AMD gpu's. Every Xbox One game will be using DX12 so chances are the devs will be working with AMD to get the most out of the hardware.

Cool, might have a reason to buy an AMD GPU at the end of 2016 then.

Is the surname in the title a typo or a reflection of the childishness of a Nvidia fanboy?

Stanners · 7 Sep 2015 at 10:09

Is this just the same again from AMD, did we not hear this about mantle and the amount of games that would be using it. Look what happened there. Obviously mantle was handed over but it always seems to be talk from AMD lately.

jupiter_man · 7 Sep 2015 at 10:10

Lets hope this time is real...unlike Mantle with only a few games that support it

Yeah I agree, Greg can you use his official title from now on please. It sounds so much better

I suppose you'll say he sounds a bit fishy then...

Sorry I'll get my coat.

If you think about it, it would make sense for developers to do this now that Xbox One is getting DX12 and uses AMD graphics.

I know people said that before, but DX11 was already well established when the 'next gen' consoles came out.

Nah, Crossfire will still be pap

AMD are starting to sound very desperate now and considering OCUK have only sold 5 Fury X's in the space of about a week I'm not surprised.

Now that async shaders has been shown to be a lot of hot air they're now suddenly going to partner with everyone which historically they've never done on a scale larger than 1 or 2. Where's all the money coming from to suddenly start working with loads of developers?

Heh yea we will believe it when we see it

The thing is usually when it comes to titles that are "partnered" with AMD, they generally work well for hardware of both venders, with Nvidia cards still beating AMD cards where they should...

The 980 Ti seem to do quite well with dx12 if the Ashes of the Singularity Bench were to be any implication, but I do have some concern regarding the lower tier cards and on how well will they stand against the test of time, after Nvidia openly claimed they have dx12 advantage over AMD (in the form of more of their cards can support dx12) over every marketing outlet...
