Samples
GLTFSample Cauldron Sample Project
This sample demonstrates how to use most of Cauldron’s features. It is also a useful reference for getting started with developing your own samples and prototypes.
AMD Freesync™ Premium Pro (HDR) Sample
This sample demonstrates how to enable Freesync Premium Pro (HDR) with the DirectX® 12 and Vulkan® APIs.
CPU Core Counts
This sample code correctly detects the physical and logical cores of today’s modern processors, along with the processor vendor and family.
Barycentrics DirectX® Shader Extension Samples
The Barycentrics samples show how to enable intrinsic instructions in your DirectX®11 or DirectX®12 HLSL code.
Vulkan® mbcnt Sample
This sample shows how to use the AMD_shader_ballot extension and mbcnt to perform a fast reduction within a wavefront.
Vulkan® OoORasterization
The Vulkan™ out-of-order rasterization sample shows how to use the out-of-order rasterization extension.
HelloVulkan Introductory Vulkan® Sample
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.
CrossfireAPI11
This sample demonstrates how to use the explicit Crossfire™ application programming interface (API).
Sparse Textures OpenGL®
This sample presents the GL_AMD_sparse_texture extension introduced by AMD FirePro W and AMD Radeon HD 7000 series.
FirePro Framelock OpenGL® Sample
This sample shows how to enable Framelock in an application using the WGL_NV_swap_group extension.
nBody DirectX® 12 Sample (asynchronous compute version)
This is a slightly modified version of the Microsoft D3D12nBodyGravity sample, This sample demonstrates the use of asynchronous compute shaders (multi-engine) to simulate an n-body gravity system.
HelloD3D12 DirectX® 12 Sample
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.
SSAA11 DirectX® 11 SDK Sample
This sample demonstrates some of the ways in which to reduce scene aliasing without using a post process technique.
