Direct Storage and Sampler Feedback: System Requirements Released

Has nothing to do with any of that, the portal mechanics are simply uninteresting and mostly a marketing piece for the PS5 so they can say their SSD does something. We can do that with basic SSDs, it's no big deal, it's just - again - uninteresting as a mechanic.

While I agree with the technology being out there already, the effect in the game itself is astonishing. If you've not played it I recommend you do, and do so in Fidelity mode. It's a fabulous experience.

no idea, maybe someone will test it

From a reddit discussion ... so hopefully not for the average gamer / consumer.
Performance impact is minimal - there's a hardware encryption block in there for the functions it needs. They're slower than cores, but these things aren't designed to do a large number of ops for a system. So not too impactful at all, no need for mitigations for performance impacts.

So according to the PC health app from the Windows 11 website my quite recent PC is not compatible with windows 11... :confused:

AMD 3900XT
ASUS ROG STRIX X570-F GAMING
Nvidia RTX 3080
32gb Ram

looks like its because the mobo manufacturer does not include a TPM module. for the average Joe this is something they will have no idea about.
 
Wish we could do away with all these different launchers and have games in one simple place. And be able to turn the PC on with the xbox controller.

Its in the manual for that board, just a case of turning it on in the bios.

Called AMD fTPM

Your CPU includes an fTPM built in. There is a BIOS setting to enable it, it should say where it is in your manual.
 
Small preview was just shown in this trailer.

My pc is ready for faster loads although am running a m.2 drive on pcie 3.0 this is can run 4.0 will be a nice upgrade when new ryzen is released later this year.

Very minimal improvement, you're looking at 5-10% faster loading time from Direct Storage

direct storage won't have any real impact until the GPU decompression pipeline is unlocked - DirectStorage l is now using an optimized I/O stack which cuts game loading by 5 or 10% but the whole process l is still severely bottlenecked by the CPU and nothing will help for that until Microsoft enables the GPU pipeline so games can ask the GPU to decompress files instead of the CPU
 
If it's already down to 2s then it's rather irrelevant how much faster it can get, it's a purely academic exercise then. Maybe down the line they'll figure what to do and give it a proper stress test that will make use of such improvements.
 
Well if it’s anything like the PS5 when it’s been tweaked I won’t be complaining. PS5 load times are pretty phenomenal in general. Similar performance would be most welcome in my book.

The problem with this comparison is it doesn't include non-DS results. For all we know loading times might be really good with an NVME even without Direct Storage.

Correct. The real deal is in the details of each presentation, luckily we have free access to this one thanks to AMD's GPU Open.

The fact that the game loads so fast already without DirectStorage means there isn't much data to load anyway, so we'll wait to see what direct storage does in more complicated games that need to load in lots of data
