Quote:Meanwhile, AMD is touting excellent performance in Microsoft’s DirectML library as potential evidence that Team Red could offer a DLSS-like feature in the future. In an interview with 4Gamer, AMD’s Adam Kozak stated the following:
...
The implication that AMD can handle DirectML workloads effectively isn’t surprising to anyone who has followed the long-term trajectory of GCN compute performance. GPU compute has been a general strength of the architecture dating back to GCN 1.0 back in 2012, and excellent performance in tests like Luxmark generally show the card’s capabilities. But tentative performance evaluation in a Microsoft SDK isn’t the same thing as a feature that’s ready to ship — and the feature being discussed, in this context, is a feature that’s still only supported in a bare handful of titles.
This relatively anemic discussion highlights the fact that beyond its basic stats, included game bundle, and price, there’s a lot about Radeon VII that we don’t know, including whether or not AMD will make any kind of technology introduction or launch around the part. With a price tag set to take it head-to-head against the RTX 2080, the gaming community is curious to know what other features or capabilities AMD will additionally announce to sweeten the competitive standing.
