  • NVIDIA Announces Gameworks DX12
    NVIDIA Announces GameWorks DX12 NVIDIA Brings World's Most Advanced Real-Time Simulation and Rendering Technologies to DX12, Raising Game Realism to New Levels GDC 2017 -- NVIDIA today announced GameWorks™ DX12, a collection of resources for game developers that will increase realism and shorten product cycles in titles designed using DirectX 12, Microsoft's API that unifies graphics and simulation. These resources include updates to the NVIDIA GameWorks SDK for creating interactive cinematic experiences on PC games; updates to the NVIDIA VRWorks™ SDK for creating immersive virtual reality experiences; new developer tools; and a new Game Ready Driver. Together, they provide developers with substantial performance gains, multiple new rendering and simulation effects, and other capabilities to help create games optimized for DirectX 12. "We have invested over 500 engineering-years of work to deliver the most comprehensive platform for developing DirectX 12 games, including the world's most advanced physics simulation engine," said Tony Tamasi, senior vice president of content and technology at NVIDIA. "These resources will ensure that GeForce gamers can enjoy the very best game experience on DirectX 12 titles, just as they have on DirectX 11 games." "NVIDIA's commitment to DirectX 12 is clear," said Cam McRae, technical director at the Coalition, developers of Gears of War 4. "Having them onsite during the development of Gears of War 4 was immensely beneficial, and helped us to deliver a game that is fast, beautiful and stable." "NVIDIA creates stunning special effects that run in real time on a PC and provides them to game developers," said Hajime Tabata, division executive of Square Enix.
