Direct3D 12 vs OpenGL: A quick Test

JeGX — Tue, 05 Jan 2016 20:14:21 +0000

GeeXLab, the successor of GLSL Hacker, comes with the support of Direct3D 12. It’s not a full support but most of the basic things are available: command lists (CL), pipeline state objects (PSO), constant buffers (CB) and HLSL shaders. An introduction to Direct3D programming with GeeXLab is available HERE. Since GeeXLab is now available with an OpenGL and a Direct3D 12 renderers, here is a … Continue reading Direct3D 12 vs OpenGL: A quick Test »

Direct3D 12 Explicit Multi-Adapter Preview

JeGX — Mon, 26 Oct 2015 17:37:35 +0000

One of the new features introduced by Direct3D 12 is the explicit multi-GPU support also called Explicit Multi-Adapter (or EMA). EMA allows the game developer to explicitly assign work (render calls) to each GPU. This is the important difference between Direct3D 12 and Direct3D 11 (or OpenGL) where multi-GPU is implicitly handled by the driver (NVIDIA SLI and AMD CrossFire are example of IMA or … Continue reading Direct3D 12 Explicit Multi-Adapter Preview »
