Table of contents:
Crytek's CryEngine is one of the most powerful graphics engines for video games, its different versions have brought to life such visually spectacular games as Far Cry, the entire Crysis saga and the Ryse: Son of Rome. CryEngine 5.3 will be the new version and promises to be the best to date with the inclusion of support for Vulkan and DirectX 12.
Vulkan and DirectX 12 are on the way to CryEngine 5.3
The CryEngine 5.3 will be compatible with multiple platforms thanks to the new Vulkan and DirectX 12 APIs, with this we will be able to see the spectacular Crytek video games on smartphones and tablets in addition to the PC and consoles. CryEngine 5.3 will receive support for Vulkan in the month of November and will be available for all platforms that the new graphics engine reaches, including mobile devices, PCs and consoles of the current generation. One of the fundamental reasons for the implementation of Vulkan has been Google's decision to make it the main Android API.
Subsequently, in February 2017, CryEngine 5.3 will receive its DirectX 12 ration in order to also be up to date with regard to the Microsoft API, an absolute benchmark when it comes to developing PC video games. The arrival of DirectX 12 will mean the support for DirectX 12 native multi-GPU rendering and multi-thread rendering.
