Remedy on DX12: Matching DX11 Performance Not Trivial on All Architectures; "You're the Driver Now"

Remedy Entertainment's GDC session warns developers about DirectX 12 after their experience with Quantum Break: it won't be easy at all to surpass DirectX 11 performance.

My early impressions on using DX12 with RotTR are lukewarm. It doesn't seem to be running much better, and the new AO is only available in DX11...

Alexious3365d ago

Indeed, though Nixxes promised future improvements.

LP-Eleven3365d ago (Edited 3365d ago )

In fairness, the game wasn't built with DX12 in mind. I don't think Gears Ultimate was, either.

The first, true, DX12 release is Quantum Break. With some much riding on it, that could spell disaster, right? Well, I don't think so. In fact, I'm expecting to be thoroughly blown away by it!

TheCommentator3365d ago

There are two important factors regarding DX12:

•No hardware is fully compliant yet(except XB1, which was shown to be at GDC Europe last year), since Nvidia only supports FL12.1 while AMD only supports FL12.0.
•Devs just got their hands on the tech and their programming profficiency is not that great yet.

This means there will be some hiccups as the tech needed to run DX12 matures and as programmers learn how to better speak the language of DX12 in general.

LP-Eleven3365d ago

@ Commentator: Well said.

KurtRussell3365d ago

Seems like it was a somewhat of a bait for quickly getting win10 onto as many PCs as possible. For now it looks like only one's benefiting using it over dx11 are people with AMD CPUs and high end GPU's. And that is a big minority of users.

Damnit guys, you could have warned Crystal Dynamics BEFORE they wasted all that time on Tomb Raider's Dx12 patch :p

kaiserfranz3365d ago

That was so disappointing, I get actually worse performance in DX12...I guess it's just another of Microsoft's lies

LP-Eleven3365d ago

As I noted above, I wouldn't call it a "MS lie". I don't believe we can reasonably judge DX12 based on it being patched into games. The real test will come when there's no DX11 option at all.

FrostXVenom3365d ago

Lie?i would like to hear some names with directx 12 you have played...
Well it was not disappointing for me as i am getting noticeable performance boost in ROTR using dx12..

Alexious3365d ago

@LP-Eleven: GoW Ultimate has no DX11 option at all and it's the worst of them...

FITgamer3365d ago

To be fair MS haven't been the ones hyping DX12. It's been 3rd party devs and fanboys.

LP-Eleven3365d ago (Edited 3365d ago )

@ Alexious: Rumor has it that people picked through that game's files and found, mostly, DX11 stuff. Meaning, it was, most likely, rushed out to beat HITMAN. It has none of the proposed advantages that DX12 is supposed to bring though. Not one.

Looking forward to this one

Aurenar3365d ago

What means "I'm the Driver now?" I haven't a car :\

TheCommentator3365d ago

Better watch out for Michonne.

I'd take a remake in the style of Bethesda's Fallout, maybe it could be done by Obsidian while Bethesda works on TESVI and Fallout 5

Duke191d 1h ago (Edited 1d 1h ago )

No source code, and a slew of original game systems/UX concepts that wouldn’t work well today.

He’s right; this would be an entirely new game, not a remaster.

Also I think the glory days of isometric/trimetric games are over. Would be shocked if someone invested the cash to remake this nowadays

MDTunkown21h ago

Just release it on ps4/ps5 with trophy support

enkiduxiv17h ago

Give it the Baldur’s Gate 3 treatment. It will be costly, but Larian proved it can be done.

MinnesotaFatts12h ago

The key point from the vid/article: nobody knows where the source code for FO1 is. That's the only thing hampering a remaster project. Bethesda, or whoever, would be better off completely remaking Fallout from the ground up, and that's not what people are asking for.

jznrpg12h ago

I saw an article the other day that said someone did have the source code. Conflicting reports out there

Borderlands 4 CEO Apologizes for "Real Fans" Comment, Fans Don't Buy it

Randy: "I am sorry there was a misunderstanding. The absolute sincere truth is that I don’t want anyone to pay any more than they should or are comfortable with and I always work with the intent and hope that a customer always feels they got the better end of the deal no matter what they pay. The actual context was that a guy replied to a post about Borderlands 4 on the Nintendo Switch 2 was warning me that if the price ends up being $80, the game will fail. What I was trying to do was explain that it wasn’t my call but that if a $10 price increase does happen (since that’s obviously where the industry is going), it will be okay and that Borderlands 4 will be okay because it’s a great game and there are a lot of fans who will see the value and want it."

*clears throat*

I think you mean "real fans don't buy it"

PRIMORDUS1d 15h ago

We can take it. 🏴‍☠️

-Foxtrot3d ago

It will sell well because it’s Borderlands, but I’m not getting it Day 1 now. I’ll happily wait and buy something else.

He just had to open his mouth, I don’t know why they don’t see how much of a PR disaster he is.

Goodguy013d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Makes me wonder why people like this lead games and franchises that are beloved. Dude just needs to shut up and never speak their opinions on social media lol. Just chill and enjoy your life with the 7 figure salary you get bud.

Tacoboto3d ago

There's nothing to buy because there's no apology here except for how WE "misunderstood" what he so clearly typed out.

CrimsonWing692d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Yea like we’re just dumb consumers that don’t understand PR damage control. Hey Randy, if you cared about the fans you’d fight against this stupid price hike… oh wait…
