Still not got it.
Then please correct.
I believe there's also "tier 0" which I assume means tiled resources is unsupported. But that's rather uninteresting.

typedef enum _D3D11_TILED_RESOURCES_TIER {
D3D11_TILED_RESOURCES_NOT_SUPPORTED = 0,
D3D11_TILED_RESOURCES_TIER_1 = 1,
D3D11_TILED_RESOURCES_TIER_2 = 2
} D3D11_TILED_RESOURCES_TIER;
Hmmm....
How you know it?
Tiled resources has two feature levels - the first requires DX11_0 hardware feature level as the base while the second tier requires DX11_1 feature level as the base.
The GTX 680 supports DirectX 11.1 with hardware feature level 11_0, including all optional features.This includes a number of features useful for game developers such as:
Partial constant buffer updates
Logic operations in the Output Merger
16bpp rendering
UAV-only rendering
Partial clears
Large constant buffers
We did not enable four non-gaming features in Hardware in Kepler (for 11_1):
Target-Independent Rasterization (2D rendering only)
16xMSAA Rasterization (2D rendering only)
Orthogonal Line Rendering Mode
UAV in non-pixel-shader stages
So basically, we do support 11.1 features with 11_0 feature level through the DirectX 11.1 API. We do not support feature level 11_1. This is a bit confusing, due to Microsoft naming. So we do support 11.1 from a feature level for gaming related features."
some AMD hardware from the 7000 series come only with the hardware feature level 11_0, as they are rebranded products from 6000 series of products (Northern Islands GPU architecture). It is rumored that the upcoming Kepler refresh (rumored GK112, GK114 and 117) will feature full hardware feature level 11_1 as well.
Where's the fun in that! But seeing as you're all groping blindly, I'll further paraphrase the statement - Tiled resources will be supported across the HD 7000 Series and Tiled Resources Teir-2 is supported within the HD 7000 Series...Then please correct.

If we are talking about the same thing (which we could very well not be), all GCN based 7xxx cards should support tier 2. I'm guessing 5xxx/6xxx/7xxx (rebadged, non-gcn) cards are tier 1.
Or are you saying not all GCN based cards support tier 2 (in which case, please elaborate)?
The Radeon™ HD 7000 series hardware architecture is fully DirectX 11.2-capable when used with a driver that enables this feature.
Sounds like they all support dx11.2 at least tier 1, but gcn ones support tier 2.All models up to including HD 76xx are based on VLIW5 ISA, HD 77xx-79xx are based on GCN (Graphics Core Next) architecture. does this mean we will see dx11.2 on other vliw5 cards ? how about vliw4 ?

Jay said:Would be a turn up for the books if PS4 is tier 2 and XB1 is tier 1.
Jay said:I would still like to know what the actual difference between tier 1 & 2 when possibly having to do some of it in the driver.
