AMD tech cuts shader load times by up to 95%

AMD's Advanced Shader Delivery (ASD) technology dramatically reduces game shader loading times by over 95% in supported titles like Forza Horizon 6. PCWorld reports that ASD requires an AMD RDNA GPU, Windows, Xbox Gaming Service, and latest Adrenalin drivers to function properly. The technology transforms gaming experiences by cutting load times from 90 seconds to just 4 seconds in compatible games. Many's the time I've downloaded a big, fancy new game, just waiting for the moment I get to flex my graphics card on the latest graphics only to have to wait another ten minutes for the shaders to load up.
