With Advanced Shader Delivery, Forza Horizon 6 loads in 4 seconds instead of 90 seconds

By


A few years ago Valve created a mechanism to precompile shaders on SteamDeck. Unfortunately it was never released on Windows. But nothing is lost. MS just released its own version to Windows – Advanced Shader Delivery. MS claim that Forza Horizon 6 will load in just 4 seconds instead of 90 seconds. New technolgy also reduces 'shader stutter' when playing.

Today, Advanced Shader Delivery expands beyond ROG Xbox Ally handhelds to Windows 11 PCs with discrete GPUs and gaming laptop integrated GPUs from AMD

With advanced shader delivery, Forza Horizon 6 loads in 4 seconds, as compared to almost 1.5 minutes – that’s an overall 95% time savings! This measurement was taken on an AMD Radeon RX 7600 GPU and an AMD Ryzen ™ 7 5800 8-Core processor CPU. ASD also reduces shader stutter when playing the title by circumventing just in time compilation of shaders during gameplay.

Requirements:

  • Xbox Insider active
  • GPU: currently only AMD is supported: RDNA 3, RDNA 3.5, RDNA 4
  • Xbox Gaming Services: 37.113.11003.0 or higher
  • Forza Horizon from MS Store (Game Pass)
