AMD Software Adrenalin Edition 23.10.01.14 for DirectX®12 Agility SDK - GPU Work Graphs

Only for Radeon RX 7000 Series

What is "GPU Work Graphs" feature:
Microsoft DevBlog - D3D12 Work Graphs Preview


Highlights

Support for:

• Microsoft® Agility SDK Preview Release v1.711.3 including Shader Model 6.8 functionality for GPU Work Graphs (GWG)).
• Microsoft® Agility SDK Preview Release 1.710.0 including GPU Upload Heaps functionality.

GPU Work Graphs (GWG)

• GPU Work Graphs (GWG) or Work Graphs allow the GPU to schedule and control its own work generation without requiring a round trip back to the CPU and the overhead involved with additional dispatches while simplifying typical GPU programming paradigms on Radeon™ RX 7000 series graphics cards.
• See additional details, and how-to here

GPU Upload Heaps

• Driver support to allow shared access of the GPU’s VRAM by both the CPU and GPU using the VRAM Resizable Base Address Register (REBAR). See Agility SDK 1.710.0 for additional details and downloads usable with this driver.

Known Issues

• Certain virtual reality games or applications may encounter suboptimal performance or occasional stuttering on Radeon™ RX 7000 series GPUs.
• Intermittent application crash or light corruption may occur when using Blender™.
• Intermittent system freeze or instability after driver timeout recovery while using certain GPU Work Graphs. Application developers should be vigilant about ensuring not to send more output records specified by MaxRecords() for the output. Exceeding this record will result in driver instability until the system is restarted.
• CPU hang may be observed when using DispatchGraph. Application developers must limit the strides of their CPU input records and CPU input streams to 4096 bytes when calling DispatchGraph(). When using single node CPU input, the field “RecordStrideInBytes” must be 4096 bytes or less. When using multi-node CPU input, the field “NodeInputStrideInBytes” must be 4096 bytes or less. A CPU hang may result if these strides are not set accordingly.
• Intermittent application crash may be observed when playing Metro Exodus PC Enhanced Edition™ on some hybrid graphics notebooks.

Important Notes

• Factory Reset has been temporarily disabled as a precautionary measure while we address isolated installation issues that have been reported during PC upgrades. Users may use AMD Cleanup Utility as a temporary option.
• Input Sharing for Work Graph Entry Points is currently not supported.

What Nvidia GPUs will support this? Will it be exclusive to 40-series?

 

In the 3rd line of the top post the URL goes to a page on the Microsoft website that states:

"NVIDIA: To obtain the NVIDIA drivers supporting work graphs, please reach out to your developer engagement representative."

HTH

 

That only mentions driver support, not GPU support.

Guess we will have to wait for more info from Nvidia to see which GPUs will support it. Looks like only 7000 series on the AMD side.

 

I'm guessing this is NOT for us mere mortals with 7900XT's?

 

It states clearly "for Radeon 7000 SERIES...:

 

HAGS: Off (not supported)
ReLive is missing as well.

Sorry, what I meant was "Is this for everyone to use or it it meant for specific "users" (laptop / NASA / Trenchstone) etc..lol Is it meant for general "consumption"?

 

these are developers preview bits.

 

no support for hags even oh boy.
