Directx12 Vram stacking?

[Made In Canada]

I recently read that directx12 is said to be planning to be able to stack Vram with sli, is this true?

 

(i think directx12 is already out so if this is a dumb question, sorry)

 

And if yes, could it affect 780ti's?

its not a thing that "will happen"

 

its a thing that "developers will be able to make use of"

[AresKrieger]

If yes, yes but it sounds farfetched regardless, also VULCAN

Doesn't matter what DX12 supports if Nvidia or AMD won't put support toward it.

[brickster]

If I remember correctly it would allow developers to take advantage of it not like a universal feature for DX12

Rumours. We don't know anything for a fact yet, but that is a rumoured feature. Only time will tell once full DX12 support comes to market.

DX12 < Vulkan

Yes in theory, but every DX ever has had a bunch of features that card makers/game developers never quite got around to supporting.  Or features that MS talked up (remember DX is competing with other APIs) but turned out to not really worth being implementing.  

 

There are a bunch of multithread features in DX11 that never really got used to the extent they were talked up.  VRAM stacking, async, etc all sound great when MS talks them up, but we'll see what gets used and what the benchmarks are at the end of the day.

It should be possible with DX12, but it will still require AMD and Nvidia to allow it, as well as for game developers to implement it properly. A lot of games are releasing with shoddy SLI profiles right now, so who knows how they'd deal with another thing to implement. 

[Cactu]

yes, its going to be a thing and no it wont work with any 700 series cards because they do not fully support DX12

DX12 < Vulkan

^

DAT.

But yet again DX will prevail and be the "standard".

Vram stacking will be an OPTION. Which in reality means no one will use it due to developers and many others being assholes and greedy corporate people...

DX 12 is out, but there are no games so far so we can't really tell how much of an improvement it will be on our own computers. So far there has been a few benchmarks and a LOT of trailers, which we shouldn't trust yet.

Okay, thank you for the help everyone
