After Microsoft released DirectStorage 1.1 for PC systems with Windows as well as for current GPUs and NVMe SSDs, you can now also see the first performance benchmarks of the latest GPUs from AMD, Intel and NVIDIA compared to each other. The decompression of graphics files is improved by DirectStorage 1.1, which works equally well for Intel, AMD and NVIDIA, but the blue team performs a bit better in the end. The latest benchmark test, developed by the website Compusemble, shows the technology’s performance first-hand and on the website’s YouTube channel. We have simply embedded the video once below for easy viewing :
The API allows the CPU to reduce the number of critical cycles needed for large tasks, and it decompresses game assets through “highly parallel” graphics cards without the OS doing the work, using the CPUI at a higher level to do so. DirectStorage 1.1 from Microsoft thus limits the load on the processor when the NVMe storage requests data. The algorithms used in DirectStorage’s asset compression and decompression allow it to move higher amounts of data than the NVMe SSD could normally handle natively.
PC Games Hardware, for example, pitted three very fast graphics cards on the market against each other for Compusemble’s benchmark test to see which handled data decompression best. The three GPUs tested by the website were:
- AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT
- Intel Arc A770
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080
All three graphics cards were paired with the Intel Core i9-12900K processor from the Alder Lake generation. All three graphics cards processed decompression almost 2.5 times faster than the Intel processor. The Intel Arc A770 GPU performs better than AMD and NVIDIA in “asset decompression”. The results show that the Intel Arc A770 can transfer and decompress assets at 16.8 GB/s, while the AMD RX 7900 XT processes the same information at 14.6 GB/s, or a difference of thirteen percent.
However, since the load times were reduced from five seconds to less than one second, all three graphics cards decompressed the data in a similar way, which means that both configurations would still perform better with DirectStorage 1.1 than the CPU ever could.
