Imagination has just launched IMG DXD, the company’s latest “high-performance” GPU architecture. For the first time, DXD provides native support for Microsoft’s DirectX libraries, starting with a “hardware-based implementation” of the DirectX 11 Feature Level 11_0 release. DXD has the API coverage to run “popular PC games” as well as other Windows software and mobile titles, Imagination said.
DXD leverages the inherent power efficiency of the PowerVR GPU architecture, Imagination stated, with its tile-based deferred rendering paradigm that was originally developed to deliver high-quality 3D graphics in power-constrained form factors.
