New Windows 10 DirectX 12 video demo (NO Audio)

[javajolt]

DirectX 12 will bring better performance to Windows by eliminating a lot of the CPU bottlenecks that plagues the older API’s.

The popular blog Anandtech received a copy of the upcoming version of the Star Swarm Benchmark, a massive space combat demo developed by Oxide Games using their own Nitrous Engine.

They put the new API to the test and the video below shows the end result.



The current version of Star Swarm has been modified to include support for DirectX 12, and is designed to seriously push the graphics limits with its ability to make over 100K draw calls.

The scene rendered in the video above is very complex, with thousands of units and effects.

As you can see that hasn’t seemed to affect frame rate.

This performance bump has been achieved by using the new API’s ability to distribute the workload across multiple processor cores, which in turn results in better use of the available GPU power, unlike DirectX 11 which is single-threaded.

Keep in mind that this is an early preview, and performance may even get much better by the time Windows 10 is RTM’ed.

Good to see!
