Is it fair to say that the importance of Async Compute has been perhaps overstated in comparison to other factors that determine performance? Do you think NVIDIA may be in trouble if Pascal doesn't implement a hardware solution for Async Compute? However, in the GDC 2016 talk you said that even AMD cards only got a 5-10% boost and furthermore, you described Async Compute as "super hard" to tune because too much work can make it a penalty. Async Compute in particular has received a lot of attention from PC enthusiasts, specifically in regards to NVIDIA GPUs lacking hardware support for it.I don’t have any news on that front, sorry.You've mentioned during the GDC 2016 talk that you're working with NVIDIA to improve their Async Compute implementation - how are things looking on that end and do you have any ETA? NVIDIA cards, on the other hand, have basically the same performance under DX11 and DX12.
While we have 10% improvement when completely GPU bound, I think there are gains above that when you're CPU bound.
We don’t have any DX12 specific improvements planned for our subsequent releases.Are you planning to improve DirectX 12 performance and/or add any further DX12 features via patch and if so, which ones? HITMAN on DirectX 12 only offers approximately a 10% performance boost on AMD cards.HITMAN itself was more of a straight port to DirectX 12, for instance. We've had the chance to inquire about this specific topic with IO Interactive's Lead Programmer Jonas Meyer, who mentioned that the fabled 20% CPU performance and 50% GPU performance boosts advertised by Microsoft are possible, but only in time and after dropping DirectX 11 support entirely. The game was also one of the first to introduce DirectX 12 support on PC, but the gains were minimal on AMD and non-existent on NVIDIA. HITMAN (or rather, its prologue) came out just over a month ago and was received pretty well overall, Wccftech review included.
