This is identical to what the D3D11 function did, but having it in this
place will allow us to potentially implement better flush heuristics
based on work done on the CS thread.
Begins transform feedback when rendering with an xfb-enabled
pipeline bound, and ends transform feedback as needed, while
writing back the counters supplied by the app. This does not
yet support transform feedback queries or the draw command.
Introduces an OpenGL-style bind point for the argument buffer, which
means we can avoid a lot of unnecessary reference tracking in games
that do a lot of indirect draw calls.
Reduces CPU overhead in Assassin's Creed Odyssey.
This is optimized to allow a large number of indirect draws to be
submitted if they all access the same argument buffer, as is the
case in Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Odyssey.
These new methods can support overlapped subresource copies by
creating a temporary resource and effectively using two copy
operations. This is required for D3D11 overlapped copies.
Moved all query-related state tracking and management into a
separate class. This allows for new query types to be added
in the future, and makes less dodgy assumptions about the
current state when beginning or ending a query.
Spilling the render pass should make shader storage buffer/image writes
visible due to how external subpass dependencies are defined. For UAV
rendering, we need to do this when changing the UAVs, even if the render
targets themselves do not change.
This should help reduce the number of redundant render pass spills,
especially in games which use deferred contexts for rendering. This
optimization mostly helps in GPU-bound scenarios.
An alternative to manually creating a framebuffer object and binding
it via bindFramebuffer. Future optmizations can use this to bring
down the number of redundant render pass changes.
Since we create only one DxvkContext per D3D11Device, rather than
per D3D11DeviceContext as originally planned, there is no need to
keep the pipeline manager as a global thread-safe object. This may
slightly reduce CPU overhead.
Reduces the CPU overhead of descriptor set updates, which usually
happen once per draw call. Gains seem to be minor in most games,
some outliers show significantly better performance (i.e. Tomb Raider).
Closer to the D3D11 API. We cannot use the normal clearColorImage and
clearDepthStencilImage methods in case the game uses a 2D array view
for a 3D image. Fixes some validation issues in Hellblade.
