After its debut on Xbox and with the promise of coming to Windows, Microsoft is finally about to release DirectStorage for PC.
DirectStorage is a functionality that at the API level that allows a system to decompose elements of graphic processes instead of being analyzed by the CPU and sent decrypted to the GPU, the GPU receives this task directly, allowing the CPU more space for other tasks.
The API was one of the big advances Microsoft gave the Xbox Series X originally.
In simple words, a process and game read and write speed that equates to more performance without more effort.
The other good news is that it will NOT be used as a weight for people to move to Windows 11, as Windows 10 will gain this too and will be compatible starting from PCIe 3.0 but the increase will be noticeable in 4.0.
Now the only thing missing is developer adoption because this is not something that the user can force on the games and they must be programmed with the API.
