The PCSX2 development and tester team wishes you a happy new emulation year, with new rigs and less PCSX2 bugs! We are a bit late to the party but we were *hic* busy...coding Tongue

P.S. Progress report won't be long Wink
Can't wait for progress report! <3
Yes busy with coding and family Smile

I wish everyone a new config which support latest tech (AVX2/DX12). I promise we will do a new release this year Wink
If DX12 will be implented atleast that would help AMD users out, since older CPUs ofcourse don't have AVX.
I think Vulkan is the more likely candidate, it will help AMD users and be cross platform Smile

Only if they're on Windows 10 and have a GPU that supports DX12. A DX12 port would be more work than fixing the OpenGL multi-threading issues in GSdx and that would benefit everyone. Smile

Vulkan/Dx12 will also require to improve the multi-threading too. Anyway, Dx12 isn't interesting per se but a modern GPU will support more capabilities for the emulation. In particular in-order shader might allow to implement accurate date/accurate blending without any CPU overhead !

Is there a reason to support DX12 instead of Vulkan?

Im curious as to why many developers choose to support DX12 and not Vulkan.
Many developers choose dx12 because they've already written the game / engine in dx11, so porting to dx12 is the easiest thing to do without a rewrite
Yes they got all tools to work on DX. They got support and DX was released first. Marketing. Even if Vulkan was 20% faster + bigger market. Most of the game makers will still use Dx.
