Performance in games depends not only on shaders, but also on proper use of CPU and GPU memory. This talk presents the current state of access to memory resources through DirectX 12 and Vulkan API, including a new hardware feature: Smart Access Memory (Resizable BAR). It gives specific recommendations for optimization and ends with an outlook on directions for faster asset loading on new generation platforms.

This video is not hosted on AMD’s YouTube channel, so we cannot put a link to the slides in the description there as we would normally do. We think you won’t want to miss the slides, so before you head over to YouTube (opens in new window) with the image thumbnail link above, make sure to grab the slides too!
We have many more videos and presentations for you to explore.
