cooperative vector
About this tag
The cooperative vector tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about the cooperative vector feature in DirectX, particularly in the context of Shader Model 6.9 and DXR 1.2. This feature is part of Microsoft's advancements in real-time ray tracing and in-shader AI/ML workloads, aimed at improving performance and ease of development for graphics and compute tasks. The tag includes threads about the public rollout plan for these technologies, expected in Q1 2026, and their impact on Direct3D 12. Topics focus on how cooperative vectors enable more efficient handling of vector operations within shaders, benefiting both gaming and professional applications.
Microsoft has pushed the next practical evolution of Direct3D and HLSL with the public rollout plan for Shader Model 6.9 and a bundle of targeted Direct3D 12 improvements aimed at making real‑time ray tracing, complex transparency, and shader‑heavy AI/ML workloads both faster and easier to ship...
