Parasite.5389 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 since DS1.1 only works on Win10 and Win11, and required a DX12 GPU; doubtful 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khisanth.2948 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 How much difference would that actually make? My loading time is around 10 seconds and this is with a SSD from a few years ago. The latest PCIe4 version is apparently twice as fast. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any word on whether or not GW2 will support this? GW2 is currently only at implementing dx11 stage, with no current plans for dx12 in sight. From what i remember, DirectStorage is tied to dx12. That should pretty much answer your question, don;t you think? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is entirely doable to create a dx11 game that uses the one dx12 feature on compliant hardware. Worth it? Eh. But doable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy.2951 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Would love to see this, less work for the CPU pls! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tic Tac Toe.1482 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I'd like DS 1.1 support if feasible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a new nvme drive recently, and not one of the super speedy ones, just a "regular one", and the load times are already ridiculously fast, even compared to the SSD i had GW2 on before, and that was fast too. I also don't know what benefit that would be. And Anet would yet again lock the game, to even smaller audience due to it needing dx12 and w10/11, and possibly bork it on Linux, which is a bad idea since, Steam deck runs on it, and they need to make sure it runs on linux. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creating a game that uses two different directx layers at the same time is definitely not impossible. So far however i have only heard of exactly one dx11 title that got DirectStorage capability implemented later on. It's Witcher 3. And, interestingly enough, that DS compatibility got implemented as part of dx12 update, and is only available in dx12 mode, but not in dx11 one. So, i still would not expect DS compatibility in GW2 before the title goes dx12 (if that ever happens, that is). If you heard otherwise however, and can point to even one game with direct storage implemented in dx11 mode, i'm all ears. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Boz.2038 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 DirectStorage came out about nine months ago, dude. Chill. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
