It will be interesting to see how dx12 and glNext compete.

It will be interesting to see how dx12 and glNext compete.

im guessing glnext will be the next big thing assuming android and popular linux distros adopt it. Also hopefully AMD devs a decent driver....

Can't wait to see if Nvidia will be asked about the 970 misleading specs...even thoug it'll be off-topic in their event.

 

[paralemptor]

Are these things going to be live streamed on the web?

 

[S.H.O.D.A.N.]

I'd expect Source 2 to be the presentation vehicle for glNext.

Are these things going to be live streamed on the web?

The presentations should be open to the press, so AT and a host of other sites will be able to provide coverage.

AMD is always touting hair tech in demos /rolls eyes.

I think these things are pretty dumb to be honest, most of what you see in these are so far off its not worth mentioning. DX as a whole is so fragmented across the board, lots of engines don't even use DX11 AT ALL still. DX9 is still pretty much the go-to default for most because its what people know.


What people seem to forget is, lots of advances in these are not new, its just you can do them easier with the updates.

I am interested in seeing if Valve shows some Source2 demo or something along that line.

Nvidia's VXGI should be available on UE4 next week so I'm guessing the VXGI stuff will be in UE4. They also hinted at more GameWorks stuff like HairWorks for GDC. Also Some stuff on DX12 and DX11 https://developer.nvidia.com/gdc-2015

I believe slides are published very soon, videos take days or weeks to appear and not all sessions are recorded.
