The article linked doesn't list any specific differences or specs. If we don't know anything about what it does differently then how are we supposed to draw any meaningful conclusions or make any accurate predictions about how it could impact an application like dolphin? At this point we know just as much about d3d12 as we do about d3d14, absolutely nothing. You couldn't possibly have any meaningful conversation about it at this point because there is nothing to discuss. We don't know anything about it yet.
So let's say DX 12 was implemented... and from what we read here, the workload is spread out, bringing it all down to 50%, making full use of mullti-cpu setups.. and more accurately for this thread, budget PCs that still aren't able to fully run all the perfected perks, offered in the most recent builds of dolphin.
You see where I'm getting at? Dolphin currently utilizes dual-cpus, implement this... and it should be yet another big step in optimization, wouldn't it?
