Volta improves support for DirectX 12 technology, as is being observed in the new NVIDIA TITAN V, the graphics card that presents this architecture to the world.
The presentation and launch of the new NVIDIA TITAN V is leaving us interesting data about the Volta architecture that is soon to reach the gaming market. The graph presented by NVIDIA, despite the fact that many insist on showing the performance in gaming or mining cryptocurrencies, does not have any focus for these markets, it is focused on Deep Learning and Artificial Intelligence and what we are seeing is a simple campaign of marketing, quite pompous for my taste, of what will be the Volta architecture that will carry GDDR6 memories, not HBM2 like this solution.
Volta brings great news with respect to Pascal, which we already know have deficiencies in some fields, especially in the support for DirectX 12, with respect to the current GTX 1000 Series and also increases the asynchronous computation, which in Volta is more advanced. This is known from different tests under Direct3D 12, which shows the significant improvement over the previous generation and also shows improvements in support for Conservative Rasterization, that this architecture has Tier 3 support, against Pascal that makes use of Tier 2.
These parameters indicate that the low-level support for DirectX 12 is improved. These data and parameters show that the verification of compatibility with DX12, which inherently offers improvements for this technology, has been improved, adapting to the Microsoft specifications. Now we only need to have data from a graphics card that is really focused on the gaming market and see how the titles that have support for DX12 (increasing in terms of number of titles), perform under this Volta architecture, which is postulated as a performance jump very significant.
