Does DirectStorage matter when it comes to gaming performance?
When it comes to games like Spider-Man 2, the answer is yes, though with an asterisk.
DirectStorage is Microsoft’s API designed to significantly speed up game asset loading by directly transferring data from NVMe SSDs to the GPU, bypassing the typical CPU-heavy bottlenecks associated with decompressing assets. The idea is to change how games load textures, assets, and worlds, making them appear faster and potentially reducing load times drastically.
