DirectX 12 Asynchronous Compute

• Asynchronous compute is a DirectX 12 feature exclusively supported by the Graphics Core Next or Polaris architectures found in many AMD Radeon graphics cards. This powerful feature allows for parallel execution of compute and graphics tasks, substantially reducing the time other architectures need to execute the same workloads in a longer step-by-step manner. Asynchronous compute on many Radeon GPUs will perfectly complement the unit-rich late game of Civilization VI.

DirectX 12 Explicit Multi-Adapter

• Explicit multi-adapter represents the first time the DirectX graphics API has officially supported multi-GPU configurations for gamers. Though past versions of the DirectX API did not prevent multi-GPU support, there were no extensions that specifically aided its addition. DirectX 12 explicit multi-adapter not only adds officialMicrosoft support, but augments that support with a range of powerful features and flexibility to unleash the imagination of a game developer. The benefit of multi-GPU can be legion: higher framerates, lower input latency, capacity for higher image quality and more. Explicit multi-adapter support will be an excellent feature addition for Radeon graphics customers who demand the very most from their Civilization VI experience.
