Microsoft Rolls Out DirectX 12 Feature-level 12_2: Turing and RDNA2 Support it

[kapone32]

the problem there is atos is old it and not "mainstream" AAA gaming now.
Not mention that the last of games with out mgpu support is much larger.
I stay away from DRM games anymore so the list for me is even smaller.

I understand but when I mentioned AOTS I was talking about at the start of DX12. I lament that you will not be able to enjoy some Games because of DRM, that is truly unfortunate. I am not against GOG but Steam is pretty good too. It really is a moot point though.

NAVI 10 processes GCN instructions in 8 clock cycles and RDNA instructions in 7 clock cycles.
Vega 64/VII processes GCN instructions in 12 clock cycles.

At the same FLOPS, NAVI 10 has about 30% to 40% completion time advantage when compared to Vega.

New in DirectX— Feature Level 12_2 - DirectX Developer Blog

What’s a feature level? If you’re a game developer who has spent any amount of time with computer hardware, or perhaps a computer game which simulates working with it, you will know that graphics cards are not all the same. There’s differentiation.
