DirectX 12 Multiadapter will allow PCs to use multiple graphics cards

Rumours that DirectX 12 will allow PC owners to tap into multiple GPUs simultaneously have been confirmed.

Rumours of such a possibility emerged in February, and now Microsoft has confirmed that the API’s Multiadapter feature will use the power found across several graphics cards and even integrated GPUs simultaneously.

Mister X's dual GPU dream came true, not in the way he wanted though.

Lol.

Lol. He just dropped his secret sauce on the floor!

This still may help XB1 orchestrate the 2 command processors in the GPU as well as the DMEs though, so it could help a bit anyways.

As a Titan X Superclocked SLI owner, my night has been completed on this confirmation! At the same time, if it rids the need for SLI (or Crossfire, take your pick), it would have to enable memory stacking to make the most sense!

Would be nice if I could use Intel + amd card simultaneously on my laptop :P

Pretty cool. Should help devs adopt more modern rendering techniques on both PC & Xbox rather than have to target old versions to cover the majority of their users.

Here comes another feature update that resets my settings.

If it doesn't delete your files ala 1809 consider it a minor victory

I’ve noticed they do this as well.

I wonder how they legally get away with stealthily resetting all the privacy settings to allow tracking and monitoring without notifying you. It was only by chance I noticed it last time.

Unspoken2199d ago

Any software you use does this unfortunately.

1nsomniac2199d ago (Edited 2199d ago )

I think you’re misunderstanding what happens. All your windows settings remain untouched, it doesn’t change any of your settings accept Those related to your privacy. So all those privacy settings you agreed not to share during the installation and other privacy terms that you agreed not to share, within the privacy options page, even your offline linked windows accounts. It secretly enables all of those options without notifying you that it’s changed your selected options that both parties had agreed to. I don’t think they’ll be allowed to continue to do that under GDPR laws so we’ll see if it happens again. However unfortunately for me being in the UK, we won’t have GDPR laws for much longer after we leave the EU.

The term "willingly" is questionable at best...

Crash restart lockup repeat. Windows. Wonder what will happen to people who take health advice from its creator.

I don't have any problems, so the issue is probably someone who thinks Bill Gates has anything to do with the development of Windows in its current form.

Tacoboto2199d ago

"My PC sucks" = "Bill Gates' billions and billions of investment in vaccines and cures will kill you"?

BigTrain2199d ago

Crash, the END. That's what'll happen.

Asuka2199d ago (Edited 2199d ago )

As a note: WDDM 2.7 requires you to have updated drivers (which currently no official WQHL driver w/ support is available for Nvidia yet. Only development branch 450.xx). Also you need a 7th gen or newer Intel CPU w/ igpu, or a 10 series or newer Nvidia GPU, or latest AMD offerings.

WGAF2199d ago

Last time I update, the ethernet driver wasnt available so no matter what (even factory reset) I can't go online. The only way to update is to go online lol. Well I always wanted an offline laptop, so I guess got what I wish for :/

Fishy Fingers2199d ago

Use wifi (or tether to the device your posting from now) and download the driver.
