Barycentrics12 DirectX 12 GCN Shader Extension Sample

The Barycentrics12 sample shows how to enable new intrinsic instructions in your 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 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.
