Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “DirectX 12 & Vulkan as Fast As Possible”.
Like everyone else in their dog, we’ve heard the rumors about directx12 and vulcan, and how great they’re going to be, I mean we’re talking stuff, like massive frame rate increases the ability to combine performance between GPUs, even those from different manufacturers and a drastic reduction in CPU Bottlenecks, so we thought this topic deserved a little bit of love. Let’S start with what’s an API, an API or an application, programming interface is defined very roughly as in operating systems, available resources and tools that developers can use to create software with, or in other words they’re like the the Lego bricks that a programmers inner child can Use his or her imagination to build with. There are some problems that can arise from this approach, however, and whether, through the desire to keep the blocks simpler, to use at the expense of their effectiveness or the bloat of supporting legacy, features and underperforming. Api can have a dreadful impact on the performance of the finished program, a big problem for gamers who want more realistic water effects and facial animations, but don’t want to spend a thousand bucks on a shiny, new graphics card. That’S where the mantle API came in and be sought to give programmers more direct access to how their software interacted with the graphical processor, allowing them to better optimize their software and improve performance, and while they were generally successful in achieving this, the game support list is Still pretty small and without other graphics, chip makers on board, that train was unlikely to ever leave the station. That is where the more established graphics, API players you may have heard of Microsoft and Chronos – that’s where they come in they’re poised to deliver their DirectX 12 .
