DirectX 12 Agility SDK Announced and Released Today by Microsoft
https://wccftech.com/directx-12-agility-sdk-announced-and-released-today-by-microsoft/
Basically what it does is that before, in order for gamers to have new Direct X 12 Ultimate features, they would need to upgrade their version of Windows 10 to the latest version. Due a number of reasons, not everyone does that. So for a developer to build their games around the latest and greatest features, they typically wait until enough users upgraded to the latest versions of Windows. Direct X 12 Agility makes it possible so that the new Direct X 12 Ultimate features will work even on older versions of Windows going back to Windows 10 November 2019 Update.
Pretty awesome news for Ampere, Turing and RDNA 2 users!
DirectStorage news from Microsoft's Game Stack
https://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/muwsn8/directstorage_for_pc_will_support_pcie_30_nvme/
Direct Storage for PC will support PCIe 3.0 NVMe drives, too. All DirectX 12 compatible HW will support the feature. Confirmed by Microsoft. This means RDNA 1, Pascal and every other GPU that supports Direct X 12 will also support Direct Storage. However the performance will vary and the GPUs that have full Direct X 12 Ultimate support will have the best experience by being able to combine Sampler Feedback with Direct Storage. Limited Developer Preview this summer.
