Robert Hallock: 'Vast Majority of DX12 Titles In 2015/2016 Are Partnering With AMD'

HKZeroFive

AMD-DX12.jpg

AMD's Robert Hallock recently commented that the vast majority of upcoming DX12 games will be partnered with AMD:

You will find that the vast majority of DX12 titles in 2015/2016 are partnering with AMD. Mantle taught the development world how to work with a low-level API, the consoles use AMD and low-level APIs, and now those seeds are bearing fruit.

This could mean a number of things, from just AMD trying to promote DX12 in their marketing or helping intergrate their software (especially their DX12 support) into these particular games.

Moreover, this further emphasises AMD's focus on DX12, as we can notably see in the Asynchronous Compute controversy, and could possibly mean a significant performance gain over NVIDIA cards.

Now, to address the elephant in the room - Will this partnership with AMD provoke some sort of bias towards AMD, and leave NVIDIA cards performing lacklustre in comparison?

AMD doesn't particularly seem to be anti-competitive, as we can see in the Oxide developer's post on how they did not object to working with NVIDIA to implement DX12 over the summer. But time will tell, and I sincerely hope that AMD, despite their current financial status, will allow NVIDIA cards to perform to the best of their capabilities in these partnered DX12 titles.

Yes, there is still the question of what these 'exclusive titles' are specifically (aside from Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and Ashes of the Singularity) but it looks like AMD might have DX12 as their means of regaining their past glory.

Good to see, I hope AMD make it back to about 40ish% of the market share someday.

It's about time.The last AMD sponsored games that I remember playing are from 2012-2013 I think.

 

Still AMD, don't ruin it for everyone. If you have stuff that doesn't run well on Nvidia hardware, at least give an option to the user to disable it. You can disable most Nvidia features in games that use Gameworks.

That's real fracking neato. Nvidia had a nice little run where they were dominating, and now its finally AMD's turn. The back and forth is necessary for innovation. Let's just hope this streak lasts long enough for AMD to recoup some of the cash and market share they lost.

TressFX 2.0 will be interesting on Deus Ex. I remember reading about the LOD they'd used for it to increase performance.

 

 

Good for me on 290X CFX, but in recent memory I can think of any games that gimped Nvidia hardware, Tombraider is a maybe but it runs better on Nvidia with TressFX enabled than it does on AMD hardware

I don't see why that would be bad. NVIDIA has been doing it and got away with it.

this explains the silence from AMD then, they couldnt really say much about any of this. Im happy for them even though im got nvidia now. Seriously they need this big time.

I wonder if this is going to matter, or we'll just see the AMD logo when opening the game.

Still, i don't know what they mean by this, means there will be some games that are going to be unplayeable with Nvidia? Means AMD games will just run better and nvidia won't be affected? How many games are they referring to? Are they even games that matter?

 

Idk, i am happy if amd starts doing good because my brother and friends have AMD, but they have been promissing lots of wonderful stuff that ends up being just normal stuff, starting with the all might FuryX that was supposed to tear up everything and is barely equal to it's nvidia competitor. Then we see benchmarks of AMD doing awesome in DX12 but still being behind nvidia, and performing utterly bad in DX11.

 

I'd rather be negative about this, and then be surprised. Than getting excited and being let down.

I fail to see how this matters at all. It's been years since an AMD-optimized title ran any worse on a green video card..

If you were to tell me all the DX12 titles in 2016 are TWIMTBP then this might be notable because AMD graphics card users might not be able to take advantage of proprietary stuff like hardware PhysX or Hairworks or whatever..

 

edit: side note.. does NVIDIA even call it The Way It's Meant To Be Played anymore? :P

Guys calm your tits...this doesn't mean games will run magically better on AMD.

But what it could mean, based on previous "AMD optimized titles"(Tomb Raider), is that they will be better optimized overall and will have less(to none) proprietary crap.

That...is GOOD.

This, right now, is public grandstanding. Of course they'll have game partners. Why wouldn't they? Gaming Evolved or w/e it's called isn't dying out, AMD just struggles to get developers to use their packages and it's no wonder why. Game works is packaged into engines themselves and comes with a boatload of backend support, small wonder that Devs use them.

I'm just curious what the public reaction will be. Is it okay for AMD to push their program because they're underdogs and they need the business? Shouldn't we treat them equally and deride their services entirely, just like Gameworks? Just sayin.

Nvidia GameWorks was the reason I gave my GTX 760 to my brother for free and bought a used 290x.

 

I felt dirty.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.
