AMD showcases the future of graphics and processor technologies at GDC

• AMD
  and Bethesda have announced a long-term, multi-title partnership to rapidly
  advance game technology development, fuel new PC game experiences, and
  reshape the gaming landscape.
• This
  brings together two titans of the gaming industry: Bethesda Softworks,
  which has sold more than 80 million copies of legendary games series like Fallout, DOOM and Dishonored,
  and AMD, whose CPU and GPU technologies power the experiences of 400
  million gamers worldwide.
• The
  two companies will work together to develop and accelerate the
  implementation of new technologies, including:
• Harnessing
  the full potential of low-level APIs such as Vulkan
• Maximizing
  the capabilities of the computing and graphics power of AMD’s multicore
  AMD Ryzen CPUs, Radeon GPUs and AMD server solutions across Bethesda’s
  existing Bethesda franchises

• AMD
  announced that its upcoming Vega architecture-based GPUs have been
  selected to power LiquidSky, enabling gamers around the world to enjoy
  the extraordinary power of Vega from anywhere.
• LiquidSky
  already lets their 1.4 million beta users play any PC video game as it was
  meant to be enjoyed on Android phone or tablet, low-spec Windows, Mac, and
  even Linux devices.
• With
  Vega’s powerful Radeon Virtualized Encode feature, subscribers will relish
  a high-quality gaming experience on par with enthusiast gaming PCs, but at
  a much lower cost through LiquidSky’s low-cost and free subscription
  models.
• Gamers
  across the world can benefit from the exceptional GPU performance by
  connecting to any of the 13 LiquidSky global data centers. 

• VR
  developers today are constantly challenged to strike the right mix of
  technical features and computational power for the best balance of
  performance and visual fidelity.
• Deferred
  rendering, used by many of today’s big game engines, does all of the
  geometry work first and then shades pixels last to save work but it’s not
  a great fit for VR.
• AMD
  is working to enable a forward rendering path in Unreal Engine 4.15,
  giving developers more choice in how they develop VR games and helping to
  achieve a stunning looking game while delivering the high frame rates
  necessary for a good experience.
• AMD
  is also working with leading game developers to explore the benefits of
  forward rendering in VR games, including Survios, First Contact
  Entertainment and Limitless Studios.
