No, you can be sure that not the whole game was not "coded to the metal". Usually it is shader code and/or inline assembly to talk as directly to the hardware as possible (mind - assembly is not the lowest possible mode but the only one exposed to the programmer). Generally, you write "code to the metal" for critical paths in your code (the code that takes the most time). Nobody writes whole games anymore in assembly, not in the dimensions current AAA games are. |
Still you won't do that while on DX12, you would need to go out of it on X1 to be able to get this benefit
