Microsoft Shader Model 6.10 & AgilitySDK 720 Preview Now Available With New DX12 Features For The Neural Rendering Era

Microsoft previewed Shader Model 6.10 and Agility SDK 1.720 for DirectX 12, adding new GPU features for graphics and compute workloads.

The update includes linear algebra matrix APIs, new wave intrinsics, variable groupshared memory, raytracing intrinsics, and batched async command list support.

These additions aim to improve performance and flexibility for ML- and rendering-heavy apps while giving developers lower-level access to newer GPUs.

Support is partial across NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel hardware, with coverage varying by GPU and feature.
