Microsoft introduces tool that analyzes the performance of DX12 games, may improve DX12 optimization

DSOGaming writes: "As you may already know, we are kind of disappointed with the current state of DX12. This new low-level API has not managed – at least yet – to offer better performance than its DX11 counterpart. However, things may change as Microsoft has introduced a new performance and debugging tool for developers that analyzes the performance of DX12 games."

How about a tool that removes advertisements from windows 10. I refuse to use W10, DX 12 can wait.

343_Guilty_Spark2652d ago

Where are all the advertisements?

Utalkin2me2652d ago

Not advertisements per say. But giving you suggestions on your habbits.

Why do you need DX12? It has pretty much been a complete failure.

Pretty cool. Should help devs adopt more modern rendering techniques on both PC & Xbox rather than have to target old versions to cover the majority of their users.

Here comes another feature update that resets my settings.

Profchaos1427d ago

If it doesn't delete your files ala 1809 consider it a minor victory

I’ve noticed they do this as well.

I wonder how they legally get away with stealthily resetting all the privacy settings to allow tracking and monitoring without notifying you. It was only by chance I noticed it last time.

Unspoken1427d ago

Any software you use does this unfortunately.

1nsomniac1427d ago (Edited 1427d ago )

I think you’re misunderstanding what happens. All your windows settings remain untouched, it doesn’t change any of your settings accept Those related to your privacy. So all those privacy settings you agreed not to share during the installation and other privacy terms that you agreed not to share, within the privacy options page, even your offline linked windows accounts. It secretly enables all of those options without notifying you that it’s changed your selected options that both parties had agreed to. I don’t think they’ll be allowed to continue to do that under GDPR laws so we’ll see if it happens again. However unfortunately for me being in the UK, we won’t have GDPR laws for much longer after we leave the EU.

The term "willingly" is questionable at best...

Crash restart lockup repeat. Windows. Wonder what will happen to people who take health advice from its creator.

I don't have any problems, so the issue is probably someone who thinks Bill Gates has anything to do with the development of Windows in its current form.

Tacoboto1427d ago

"My PC sucks" = "Bill Gates' billions and billions of investment in vaccines and cures will kill you"?

BigTrain1427d ago

Crash, the END. That's what'll happen.

Asuka1427d ago (Edited 1427d ago )

As a note: WDDM 2.7 requires you to have updated drivers (which currently no official WQHL driver w/ support is available for Nvidia yet. Only development branch 450.xx). Also you need a 7th gen or newer Intel CPU w/ igpu, or a 10 series or newer Nvidia GPU, or latest AMD offerings.

WGAF1427d ago

Last time I update, the ethernet driver wasnt available so no matter what (even factory reset) I can't go online. The only way to update is to go online lol. Well I always wanted an offline laptop, so I guess got what I wish for :/

Fishy Fingers1427d ago

Use wifi (or tether to the device your posting from now) and download the driver.
