Probably not, the whole trilogy of Crysis Remastered (Crysis 1, Crysis 2, Crysis 3) ran hardware ray tracing on DX11 through a VulkanRT API layer interposed on top of DX11.Is that an actual technical limitation though?

Yes. Lots of stuff with RT doesn't fit nicely into the "the CPU will spoon-feed the CPU one command at a time" model of previous APIs. It is fundamentally a lot more retained mode, laying out data structures (often asynchronously) in GPU memory to trace against.Is that an actual technical limitation though?
The CPU bottleneck.So, Overwatch 2 has only a DX11 renderer, runs at over 500FPS in 1440p and scales very good over different GPUs. Why exactly do we need DX12 again?!
Which is still a problem with DX12 - Forza 5 and Halo Infinity for example...The CPU bottleneck.
Has anyone given Speedway a try yet?
I got it and tried it with my 2080ti. Scored around 3000... But I'll be honest... it's a pretty small, limited demo. Probably not worth the money.I’m surprised there aren’t any articles yet. Maybe 3Dmark is truly dead.
I thought I saw a post saying those improvements were included in the reviews already.New nvidia drivers are supposed to have dx12 improvements. Curious to see if any sites do comprehensive benchmarks and if it changes the story vs dx11
If the press driver is the same as the driver that came out today then the DX12 improvements are only for AmpereNew nvidia drivers are supposed to have dx12 improvements. Curious to see if any sites do comprehensive benchmarks and if it changes the story vs dx11
This Game Ready Driver also includes significant DirectX 12 performance optimizations which can dramatically improve performance for GeForce 30 Series GPUs.
Ampere you mean.If the press driver is the same as the driver that came out today then the DX12 improvements are only for Turing.
Back in the better days no-one expected new benchmark to run well on existing hardware, in fact if it did it was considered automatically outdated and useless.It looks good, but not impressive. I regretted spending 4€ for this.
And it runs terrible despite DX12U efficiency features.
Hah yes, very good point.Back in the better days no-one expected new benchmark to run well on existing hardware, in fact if it did it was considered automatically outdated and useless.
