High performance GPU for cloud gaming with DirectX support

Overview

Key Features

• Performance that scales
• IMG DXD empowers your gaming experience with remarkable pixel processing capabilities. At a st
• unning 2.3 TFLOPS and 72 GTexel/s, its per-core graphics performance surpasses that of the IMG BXT by 2.25 X, which is presently available in PCIe boards. Our innovative, decentralized multi-core approach allows graphics card designers to seamlessly scale the IP to achieve their desired performance goals.
• Cloud, Covered
• IMG DXD offers scalable performance ideal for Android, Linux, and Windows cloud gaming services, where managing costs while keeping users satisfied is a constant challenge. With Imagination’s HyperLane virtualization solution, service providers can host multiple gamers on a single IMG DXD-based board, dynamically adjusting performance allocation to enhance service monetization while ensuring user satisfaction.
• Efficiency
• IMG DXD brings immersive PC gaming through its inherently power-efficient PowerVR architecture. This innovative tile-based deferred rendering approach is pivotal in revolutionizing 3D graphics on smartphones, catering to strict ener
• gy budgets set by batteries and packaging constraints. Over generations, we've made significant strides in enhancing performance efficiency, resulting in a GPU that boasts modest power consumption while delivering the TFLOPS performance expected from a mainstream desktop graphics card.

Benefits

• DirectX Support
• Imagination GPUs can now be deployed in Windows-based devices thanks to the new hardware-based support for DirectX in IMG DXD. With its combined support for Vulkan 1.3, OpenGL 4.6 via Zink, OpenGL ES 3.2, Open CL 3.0 and DirectX 11_0 FL, DXD has hardware based support for the API coverage to run popular PC games as well as other Windows-based applications and mobile titles.
• 2D Dual-Rate Texturing
• Numerous cutting-edge games heavily depend on texture-sampling filter effects. IMG DXD GPUs incorporate a specialized mode within their texture processing unit (TPU) designed to identify these algorithms, effectively doubling their execution rate. The outcome of this “fa
• st path” for post-processing effects is a remarkable twofold increase in bilinear filtering performance, offering newfound potential for tasks like image processing and more.
• Pipelined Data Masters
• Pipelined Data Masters streamlines GPU workload setup, elevating performance and enhancing power efficiency. Data Masters are fixed-function units that drive Geometry, Pixel, Compute and Housekeeping workloads within the GPU. With pipelining, job setup for the next task can now already commence while the previous one is still in execution, ensuring continuous workflow.
• RISC-V Firmware Processor
• IMG DXD includes a C-programmable RISC-V based firmware processor that handles the front-end scheduling of the GPU. The new RISC-V based processor is up to 40% faster at handling GPU management events locally as well as handling low-latency interactions with other system-wide IP blocks.
