There is no meaningful difference in how shader bytecode is handled between DX11 and DX12; the difference lies entirely in how work is prepared for and dispatched to the GPU, which is why the loss of shader interfaces in DX12 isn't an issue; the intermediary objects they were used for simply aren't used under the DX12 dispatch model, the compiled bytecode is passed directly to the pipeline state object

Iglocska posted:I don't know actually, who IS winning? On PCs - DX, OGL is kinda small in comparison (but still there for some major titles). PS3/PS4 is using an OGL derivative afaik, X360/XO DX. Mobile gaming until recently was generally OGL (Now Apple is switching to Metal). OpenGL won. Nobody noticed it, and it happened to zero fanfare, but the only thing still using directx are most windows and all xbox games. Everything else is on GL of some flavour, including pretty much every non-game 3D thing on windows. Also, Apple switching to metal is about as dumb a move as the 3dfx glide/amd mantle debacles. They'll still have to run OGL for any kind of reverse compatibility, and obviously because webGL is now a thing, so people will use GL instead. Why make a game for iOS with metal, if you can make it with OGL and also publish it on droid? If you're building exclusives, sure, but for everyone else it's a non-starter.

Based on RSI's crowdfunding timeline I think they'll reach the $100 million mark within the next five months, since there's so many vectors they have available to keep current and new suckas contributing more coin (jpgs, game updates, youtube-hype, etc.). But if that's the case, that's just more rope they are generating to hang themselves if and when it starts imploding. SC == Sucka Citizen

What the gently caress does that have to do with you being wrong about everything you have posted about DX12 in this thread? What are you even saying? I think it's trying to communicate. The intended standard value for the horizontal frequency of VGA is exactly double the value used in the NTSC-M video system, as this made it much easier to offer optional TV-out solutions or external VGA-to-TV converter boxes at the time of VGA's development. The formula for the VGA horizontal frequency is thus (60 ÷ 1001) × 525 kHz = 4500 ÷ 143 kHz ≈ 31.4685 kHz. All other frequencies used by the VGA card are derived from this value by integer multiplication or division. Since the exactness of quartz oscillators is limited, real cards will have slightly higher or lower frequency. EDIT: I want to effortpost about this but I don't know if I can take any more. You've just said "Shaders are shaders in both DX11 and DX12, the difference is how communication with drivers is handled" but with a fuckton of extra words. It means absolutely nothing in the context of the conversation we're having. You were still wrong about what DX12 entails. You're still wrong about the Dx11->DX12 layer. You're still wrong about absolutely everything. How often does this work for you in real life, just pasting a random technical paragraph from elsewhere?

Octopode posted:Toxic workplace concerns? Frankly, it doesn't influence my views much either way. Chris and Sandi don't have programmers chained to radiators toiling away while they lash them, and honestly, I just don't care that much about the people involved and what they choose to subject themselves to; they're adults producing a product I happen to be interested in, I feel no more outrage about it or emotional connection to them than I did about, say, Foxconn's working conditions, which is to say not much. For the financial fraud: so long as they manage their financials well enough to get past the finish line, I don't think the status of the rest of their money or how they spent it matters all that much. I don't base my interest in other products on what the profit margins and spending decisions made by their producers are, and I don't see a compelling case for why that should be the case here, either. If they don't make it out the door, then there should definitely be an inquiry into why it happened, and financial mismanagement should have appropriate consequences. God, who cares about fraud and the welfare of other human beings? Make my perfect video game! What a broken pile of flesh and chemistry you are.
