Tomshardware has reported an interesting rumor that – if it’s proven to be legit – may change everything we know about multi-GPU configurations. Similarly to AMD’s Mantle, DX12 may offer support for SFR; a technique via which developers will be able to manually, or automatically, divide the texture and geometry data between the GPUs, and all of the GPUs can then work together to work on each frame. In short, it will also let developers take full advantage of the available VRAM found in multi-GPU setups. And while this is great, it’s not what really excited it us about this latest DX12 rumor.
