Advanced Shader Delivery et RX 9070 XT : limpact sur les temps de chargement dans six jeux
Summary
Microsoft rolled out Advanced Shader Delivery (ASD) to Windows 11 PCs with supported AMD Radeon GPUs on May 15, delivering precompiled shaders with game files to cut shader compilation delays. ASD intends to eliminate lengthy first-launch shader precompilation and reduce in-game stutter by avoiding just-in-time shader compilation; it requires Xbox Gaming Services, PC Gaming Preview access, RDNA 3/3.5/4 GPUs and AMD Adrenalin 26.5.2 or later. Tom's Hardware tested ASD on a system with a Radeon RX 9070 XT across six games and measured large load-time reductions in some titles such as Forza Horizon 6, while finding no initial-load improvement in Silent Hill f because that title lacks a precompilation phase. The tests show ASD can noticeably improve load times and reduce some shader stutters, but results vary by game and area and are not yet uniformly consistent.
