AMD Announces DirectX 12 Game Engine Developer Partnerships

[shankly1985]

Woohoo, 4 games i never want to play optimised for hardware im unlikely to buy

It's only the beginning

Think about it going forward we have GCN in consoles DirectX12 and Vulkan will make porting much easier now the code optimised for consoles can easy but used on the pc version = less time and cost for the developer.

2017 is going to be a very interesting year.

hmm so basically nothing much.oh well dx 13 anyone.

It looks like DX12 is still in the process of being finalised as it appears they are adding features with Shader Model 6.

We will all really have to worry if they are optimising current PC content against 3 year old console hardware

The Total War series is quite popular so the next one having DX12 is significant IMHO.

Just hope they dont partner too many more, the devs are gonna lose out on sales from me if they do. Apart from Deus Ex, the rest of those games are of little interest to me. I'm happy to take the hit and not buy Deus Ex this time round though.

 

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

Well me buying a cheap Nvidia code for Tombraider meant the dev missed out on a sale too.

Why? You can still play it with nvidia.

Because he cannot bare the thought of AMD users getting performance boost, despite it doesn't affect the performance of Nvidia cards

Lol.

Strange thread.

I saw a rumour yesterday that Sony is making a 4K console.

yes 4k but probably 30 fps locked.

Just to clear up all the talk on Total War since the link the op doesn't mention anything Warhammer TW will have DX12 link

 

[nashathedog]

snip (can't be bothered)

Total War: WARHAMMER
A fantasy strategy game of legendary proportions, Total War: WARHAMMER combines an addictive turn-based campaign of epic empire-building with explosive, colossal, real-time battles, all set in the vivid and incredible world of Warhammer Fantasy Battles.
Sprawling battles with high unit counts are a perfect use case for the uniquely powerful GPU multi-threading capabilities offered by Radeon graphics and DirectX 12. Additional support for DirectX 12 asynchronous compute will also encourage lightning-fast AI decision making and low-latency panning of the battle map.

From the ops link, it's literally the first game listed.

If it was actually a warhammer game i would be interested, but it just looks like yet another total war with warhammer skins

 

[muziqaz]

Not to mention devs themselves were present at AMD event and talking about dx12 in War hammer game

 

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

Add Ubisoft and Watchdogs 2 to that list too.

Can't wait to see people bragging about their 4k ps4 with sub 30fps framerate drops

 

[Vish Petrol]

Dx12 is supposedly benefitting console emulation too, so there could be lots of benefits outside of just PC specific games

 

[pete910]

One has to ask why they've not chosen the Vulkan route, Saying that because a few of their other total war games have come across to linux/steamos
