First DX12 CryEngine Tech Demo Revealed

Want to see the difference between DirectX 11 and DirectX 12, again? Of course you do, so I’m very happy to reveal that the hard-working team at Snail Games has just released their brand new DirectX 12 tech video.

The new video demonstrates the power of the new DirectX 12 API and combined with the graphical powerhouse that is CryEngine, as well as the already gorgeous looking online game King of Wushu, it’s certainly a real treat for your polygon loving eyes.

The game already takes advantage of features such as Nvidia Gameworks for HairWorks and PhysX Clothing, but with DirectX 12 the game can push more polygons, increased draw calls, more on-screen characters and still keep within the same level of demand on the GPU hardware; which is nothing short of incredible.

Of course, you won’t actually just be able to update DirectX just yet and enjoy the game in its new form, as DirectX 12 will be launching on Windows 10 later this year; something that simply can not come soon enough!

Thank you DSO for providing us with this information.
