AMD Polaris (Radeon RX 400/500) users unable to play Forspoken
Despite the fact that the Nvidia 900 series can run Forspoken, the Polaris GPUs cannot due to their lack of DirectX 12 1 support. That means no support for AMD Radeon RX series 400 and 500.
According to Reddit users, the AMD Radeon RX 400 and RX 500 series graphics cards are unable to run the game Forspoken. It is suggested this is related towards certain DirectX 12 feature-level 12 1 API requirements of the game are not met by the Polaris architecture. AMD also has yet to release an update to its Adrenalin graphics drivers for the RX Vega, RX 5000, and RX 6000 series, which include Forspoken optimizations. Its most recent 23.1.2 beta drivers, which include these optimizations, only support RX 7000 series RDNA3 graphics cards.
The bulk of AMD graphics cards have now been without a driver update for almost 2 months.

I vaguely remember that. But games that use async compute appear to run just fine on my Maxwell. So what was the issue, actually?
most of the controversy around it was due to nvidia claiming the hw supported it, when it doesn't really support it, such that you can actually gain performance from using it at least. then there were a few games got a huge boost from it on the furyx, leaving a bad taste I guess.

Nvidia can do it in hardware since Turing and it has gained 0 traction since then.

it does really support it, but the context switch penalty was several factors higher than pascal.

worth mentioning nvidia didnt really need it to begin with, only reason the fury x got a huge boost from it is because its poorly designed, often has alot of idle resources when using dx11. it has significantly more raw processing power than a 980ti, but you cant make use of it without async compute essentially.

So many things make no sense financially, it's called a hobby, and they can be expensive.
If your hobby is to buy $70 games and wear out $70 controllers on a console, then good on you.
