Developing Microsoft® DirectX®12 applications
Microsoft® DirectX®12 provides low-level APIs for creating games and other graphics applications.
Here on GPUOpen, we not only provide tools and libraries to help you with the development of your Vulkan application, but we’ve produced quite a few detailed blogs and videos to support you along the way too.
Videos
Our engineers regularly present at industry conferences on topics relating to DirectX.
These links to YouTube videos will usually provide an opportunity to download the slides shown as well.
