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.

with ridiculous pricing of graphics card and poor beta testing before game releases ,pc gaming makes no sense anyway.
adding this feature level nonsense to game requirements will make things even worse.
on the other hand micsoft requires tpm 2.0 among other ,to install its newer os...

One reddit user reported that the game works on Polaris gpus on Linux.

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.
Picolete
That would mean that Nvidia cards that dont support 12.1 also cant run this "game"

So far as I know, this game runs badly on any hardware, so Polaris users could expect 5-10FPS, so what point of trying even...
Like, 4090 renders 80ish.
So what would be Polaris scores?
Alessio1989
that's a developer choice, not driver related.

I'm always surprised when developers do not implement a fallback, if the feaure isnt explcitly necessary to do what you want why limit your customer base?

They list the RX 5500XT and GTX 1060 so a rare occasion that minimum system requirements make sense.
Tech tubers that trashed the 6500XT and told people to buy Polaris instead:
Venix
Kaarme
wavetrex
It sucks for those that already bought it on the hype...
... but in reality, nothing is lost by not playing this failure.

My advice, sell those cards for mining.

Is this just speculation because the game for some reason does not start, or is there actually an error message saying that it requires DX12_1? I have not seen any review or developer stating it requires DX12_1 either.
