3D intensive application performance may suffer greatly if the best graphics device is not selected. As a developer you can easily fix this problem by adding only one line to your executable’s source code.
Barriers control resource and command synchronisation in Vulkan applications and are critical to performance and correctness. Learn more here.
The AMD TrueAudio Next open-source library and driver-controlled CU Reservation enables dramatically higher levels of audio rendering realism in VR.
This post serves as a guide on how to best use the various Memory Heaps & Memory Types exposed in Vulkan on AMD drivers, starting with some high-level tips.
HelloVulkan is a small, introductory Vulkan® “Hello Triangle” sample which shows how to set up a window, set up a Vulkan context, and render a triangle.
Useful information about features within our AMD GPU Services (AGS) library.
DCC is a domain-specific compression that tries to take advantage of data coherence. It’s lossless, and adapted for 3D rendering. The key idea is to process whole blocks instead of individual pixels.
Vulkan validation layers make it easier to catch any mistakes, provide useful information beyond basic errors and minimize portability issues.
Renderpasses are objects designed to allow an application to communicate the high-level structure of a frame to the driver.
HelloD3D12 is a small, introductory Direct3D 12 sample, which shows how to set up a window and render a textured quad complete with proper uploading handling, multiple frames queued and constant buffers.
