I'm glad to be reading this. I made a bit of a rant the other day about how Gameworks seems to be in every modern game ruining AMD performance the other day so I won't drag all of that up again.

When AMD cared the games that came out were very good for all, not just AMD. Many of the games I played were Gaming Evolved and they worked flawlessly on my Nvidia cards.

More of the same please AMD

Really excited for this event. Its about 5ish hours away from where I live and even though I'm not a developer like SPS/Sub I'd still enjoy the experience. I'd really like to hear what devs have to say about there experiences with DX12/Vulkan and how it improves things

Id love to attend, but none of the good ones are ever in AU.

A fair few will appear on YouTube/GDCVault (free section) The Vulkan one from last year was on YouTube.

They do tend to be quite technical where a lot of it won't make much sense without experience as opposed to E3. (not saying you don't have experience of course )

Ya some of it will be posted but it's not the same as being there. And it's not that far from me
I probably won't understand most stuff but if I got it recorded I could hand it to you and you could make sense out of it for all of us

Wonder when we'll actually see DX12 in use in games, Hoping for this year for at least 1 title.

Don't you have a thread for all dx12 games and demos? You should know what's coming out
Off the top of my head we have 3 games coming out that will support it, AotS, Deus Ex, and Gears of War

I do but all the news is bits and pieces, No actual proper dates

 

[Doomslayer]

I can't see any games coming out this year with DX12, I would say this time next year

Gears of War Ultimate is meant to have DX12, Same with Fable Legends and they should be with us any time now

I will say it will still have some DX11 stuff in it, what i'm talking about is a new game made only for DX12

That won't happen for years. Dx12 is only W10, so no studio will only release a game on W10 as they will lose out on a huge market for old games. And either way supporting an old API doesn't mean the new one won't still provide the same benefits

Well I can see them all on the GDC Vault so no need

That actually makes me worry a little. I remember when DX11 came out there were games instantly. Dirt 2 was absolutely sublime, even though there was hardly any DX11 and you could hack the lighting into action using DX10. But that aside Dirt 2 was absolutely stunning and really made it feel good buying a new GPU just to play it.

DX10 only got Gears of War really and look where that ended up.....

Hopefully we will see a few patches (like the JC3 one rumoured) so that we can give it a spin. I'm hoping it doesn't all become about VR as I have absolutely no interest in that.
