Tom Kazansky Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 Just want know if ED plans to support nVidia's RTX IO within the next 2 years. Does anyone know whether AMD plans to have something similar?
mhe Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 Since AMD does something similar on both upcoming consoles, you can bet it will happen. RTX IO is basically Nvidia doing their part to support Microsoft's upcoming DirectStorage API, which they backport to Win10 from the XBox Series X. As such, I'll expect this thing to be part of DX12 Ultimate or something. But since DCS is migrating to Vulkan, we have yet to see whether DirectStorage will be usable combined with Vulkan. I don't know whether Vulkan will have a similar way of providing this feature. | i9 12900K | 64GB DDR5-6000 | STRIX RTX 4090 OC | LG 38GN950 38" | | Hanns-G HT225HPB | TIR 5 & Varjo Aero | Virpil Throttle & Stick | TM TPRs | You don't stop playing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop playing.
Tom Kazansky Posted September 4, 2020 Author Posted September 4, 2020 Thanks for that. So there is hope. It might be too early by at least some weeks to ask ED's devs anyway.

Tom Kazansky Posted September 4, 2020 Author Posted September 4, 2020 Once DCS goes Vulkan, would those APIs still apply? Good question. I never heard of direct data transfer between m.2 SSDs and VRAM in connection with Vulkan. But I'm not an expert at all.
reece146 Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 There is potential if the API/libraries exist for AI ML usage - obviously AI ML doesn't leverage DX* but could take advantage of what RTX IO offers so it'll probably happen if it doesn't already.
Leaderface Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 Vulkan is an "allways in development" project and that technology is very interesting (even in flight sims), so surely it will come at any time and on steroids. PD: PS5 will use vulkan or not?
