Full DirectX 12 Com­pa­ti­bi­li­ty Pro­mi­sed for the Award-Win­ning Gra­phics Core Next Architecture

SUNNYVALE, CA — 03⁄20⁄14 – Today, AMD (NYSE: AMD) announ­ced sup­port for Micro­soft® and its revam­ped gra­phics appli­ca­ti­on pro­gramming inter­face, DirectX® 12, a new “con­so­le-like” ver­si­on of the gra­phics API that has inspi­red PC gam­ing for near­ly two deca­des. During the Microsoft®-sponsored panel, DirectX: Evol­ving Microsoft’s Gra­phics Plat­form, AMD reve­a­led that it will sup­port DirectX® 12 on all AMD Rade­on™ GPUs that fea­ture the Gra­phics Core Next (GCN) archi­tec­tu­re.

AMD will sup­port and col­la­bo­ra­te with Micro­soft® on the deve­lo­p­ment of the gene­ra­tio­nal advance­ment of the API, to con­ti­nue to impro­ve the expe­ri­ence for both deve­lo­pers and end users.

“AMD stron­gly belie­ves in the bene­fits gamers and game deve­lo­pers can rea­li­ze from lower-over­head API deve­lo­p­ment,” said Matt Skyn­ner, cor­po­ra­te vice pre­si­dent and gene­ral mana­ger, Gra­phics Busi­ness Unit, AMD. “With the Man­t­le API, AMD has shown the world our com­mit­ment to incre­di­ble per­for­mance, and we look for­ward to enab­ling the same per­for­mance gains by sup­port­ing the indus­try-stan­dard DirectX® 12.”

DirectX® 12 will offer tan­ta­li­zing oppor­tu­ni­ties for game deve­lo­pers to extra­ct new per­for­mance from PC gra­phics cards with a new­ly-stream­li­ned lan­guage that redu­ces API over­head. DirectX® 12 will be the first gene­ra­tio­nal leap for the plat­form sin­ce DirectX® 11 made its debut in 2008.

“AMD has always been an essen­ti­al part­ner in the deve­lo­p­ment of DirectX®,” said Anuj Gos­a­lia, Deve­lo­p­ment Mana­ger, Win­dows Gra­phics, Micro­soft®. “As we start the next chap­ter for our his­to­ric API, we look for­ward to con­tin­ued gre­at col­la­bo­ra­ti­on with AMD to bring gamers the best pos­si­ble per­for­mance on AMD hardware.”

A DirectX® 12 sup­port sche­du­le for AMD Rade­on™ GPUs will be published at a later date.
