AMD Polaris (Radeon RX 400/500) users unable to play Forspoken

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.

Quite bizarre, considering even the Hawaii architecture of 200 series supported DX12, to some extent. Back then DX12 was of absolutely no use, but you'd think AMD would have perfected it by Polaris, considering the early start. I guess it was the lack of budget that prevented completing it.

unfortunately, Polaris has no support for conservative rasterization, so it misses the hardware requirements for feature level 12_1.

The title of this article is wrong, its phrased like AMD have done something to prevent 400/500 series cards running this game when in reality its the developers of Forspoken who have made the choice not to support them.
