- DirectStorage requires 1 TB+ NVMe SSD, Windows 11 and a DX12 Ultimate GPU
-
Wait what? Just a while ago they stated that pretty much all DX11 / 12 GPUs would be supported as they would use a shader based decompressor. Perhaps the performance hit was too much..
ID: h2x8npsID: h2xegceNah, Sampler Feedback Streaming just optimizes texture loading, something you can also do with DirectStorage and some D3D commands. DirectStorage is useful for way more than that, if for nothing else than just loading times.
ID: h2xgqa3It doesn't have to do anything with decompression
It does. It works in conjunction with decompression technology, such as RTX IO.
Not sure what the AMD equivalent is.

Why 1TB+ drive ? Is 512GB nvme not fast enought or what. Seems silly requirement.
-
It looks like the size requirement has been edited out. Now, it just says:
DirectStorage requires an NVMe SSD to store and run games that use the "Standard NVM Express Controller" driver and a DirectX12 GPU with Shader Model 6.0 support.
ID: h2xn2ghSo the Ultimate part of DX 12 was also dropped.

does windows itself have to be installed on the 1tb NVME or do you just need 1tb+ NVME installed in your system.

My 980 pro and 3080 are ready
ID: h2xnc3mSame here *brofist*

So the 5700xt and rest of the Navi 5000 GPUs are obsoleted already? They arent DX12 ultimate compatible
ID: h2xnrbjThey were obsolete even before this.
I mean DirectStorage could technically work without Sampler Feedback, but for the best experience you need a DX12U GPU - that is confirmed. What is not confirmed is if you need a DX12U GPU at minimum spec or not. Microsoft is sending really conflicting messages here.
Edit: they edited it. You only need a DX12 GPU.

I wonder how this will work. I have two 1tb NVMe drives that I use for gaming, one gen 3 and one gen 4. My OS drive is gen 4 but only 512gb. Perhaps it'll be locked to games loaded through the Xbox app.

Looks like they changed it.
It doesn't have to do anything with decompression. DirectStorage only really gets to shine when its coupled with Sampler Feedback and that is only available on DX12 Ultimate GPUs.
