Massive blast from the past seeing Sierra On-Line's logo again on the screen, Police Quest, Hero's Quest, Space Quest, Dagger of Amon Ra, I grew up with these games.

Get into the habit of naming all D3D resources you create. Even a simple NAME_D3D12_OBJECT(), if using ComPtr, is better than nothing. It helps with making sense of the Debug Layer immeasurably.

Definitely worth watching!

Agility SDK 1.717 has been released with support for Cooperative Vectors, Shader Execution Reordering and Opacity Micromaps devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/agilit…

With the latest Agility SDK DirectX has added support for Shader Execution Reordering devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/ser/ and Opacity Micromaps devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/omm/

Microsoft has officially launched the Coop Vectors extension for DX12, enabling the use of matrix mul engines across vendors in a convinient way. This opens the door for a range of new rendering algorithms, making them more practical for game dev. devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/cooper…

Long vectors for HLSL spec github.com/microsoft/hlsl… and post devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/hlsl-n…

So the preview driver does not work with the RTX 3080 mobile unfortunately, I guess Cooperative Vectors will have to wait for a little bit longer.
