For the launch of new games, with the developers of which AMD has been actively cooperating, the company has recently released special videos talking about optimizations and balanced settings. Previous videos have been about and remake from Capcom - both projects use the RE Engine - as well as from Ubisoft publisher. The new video tells about the co-op action movie World War Z, created based on the Paramount Pictures film of the same name ("World War Z" with Brad Pitt).
Amid clips of gameplay, AMD reveals that the game from Focus Home Interactive and developer Saber Interactive features hordes of the undead, and as part of the story, groups of survivors try to fend off fast-moving zombies in different parts of the world. Of course, the company also talks about cooperation with developers as part of the integration of a number of Radeon technologies.
For example, AMD talks about support for asynchronous computing, allowing the GPU to efficiently run graphics and compute workloads simultaneously. Another technology, Shader Intrinsic Functions, allows developers to access the GPU hardware directly, without a graphics API intermediary, which also improves performance and reduces CPU load. And Rapid Packed Math in some tasks can double the performance by reducing the accuracy: the accelerator simultaneously calculates two operations in 16-bit mode instead of one 32-bit instruction.
As a result, the shooter received almost the same advantages of low-level access as on consoles. This also affected performance: (and the game has its own benchmark to simplify this procedure), the Radeon RX Vega 64 in World War Z is faster than the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti.
The manufacturer indicates that when using the low-level Vulkan API, owners of the Radeon RX 570 and above can safely count on a frame rate of approximately 90 frames / s at maximum quality settings at 1080p resolution (and at 1440p resolution - at 60 frames / s). Vega 56 and 64 owners will get all 1440fps at 90p, while Radeon VII owners can enjoy 4K at 60fps.
AMD advised to install the latest driver for optimal gaming environment , which just implemented support for World War Z.
