This maximizes GPU usage and improves your gaming performance.ĭirectX 12 also introduced PSOs.

With DirectX 12's asynchronous computing, the waiter would be able to take your order all at once like in a fast food chain. Until you receive your drink, the GPU resources needed to take your main course order would be idle. In computing, each of the waiter's tasks would be handled by a different GPU resource. While this is effective, it isn't as efficient as it could be.

The waiter isn't going to ask you what you would like for dessert before you have had your main course. Once you receive your drinks, they ask you what you would like for the main course. When a waiter first takes your order, they ask you what you would like to drink first. Think of it like a waiter at a restaurant. When this occurs, performance takes a hit because all of your GPU resources aren't being used. With DirectX 11, the GPU can only perform one of these tasks at a time and in a certain order. This essentially unlocks your GPU's full potential.Īside from graphics rendering, your GPU is responsible for handling a wide range of other tasks, such as running machine learning algorithms. Asynchronous computing increases GPU utilization by allowing multiple workloads to work in parallel. This includes asynchronous computing and pipeline state objects (PSOs). DirectX 12 also comes with some fancy bells and whistles.
