Here is the first DirectStorage showcase. Currently the API only supports CPU based decompression but GPU based one is coming.

Effectively can double the read speeds on PC. A real PCI-e Gen 4 SSD should seen even more insane gains but in practice, Win32 is able to keep up pretty nicely.

M.2 gains with it are relatively small, but the gains with SSD seem to be better, though this is it in the early stages and used with a few test runs. We'll probably see how the gains grow over time when it's added to more games. 



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
