Players reported that the AMD Radeon RX 400 gamble 500 graphics card could not run "the Land of the Curse" due to DX12 problems.

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Wu Yanzu and OC_Formula for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com January 28 news, Reddit, Wccftech, TechPowerUP and other communities have users feedback that due to incompatibility with DirectX12 API, AMD Polaris architecture graphics card (RX 400 Universe 500 series) can not run "Forspoken" under Windows.

At present, almost all graphics cards on sale support the DX12 specification, but some features and newer technologies are not the latest version. It is reported that the highest level of DX12 is Ultimate, which is compatible with Turing, RDNA2 and Xe-HPG architectures.

CTOnews.com query found that the AMD Polaris series GPU architecture only supports the hardware functional level of 12: 0, while the game requires at least 12: 1 to play. It is worth noting that some games require a higher level of functionality (12.2), such as "Metro: departure enhanced".

In addition, the models of the Maxwell architecture GPU based on the GM107/108 core in Nvidia graphics cards are similarly affected, while the AMD GCN5 (Vega) graphics cards are not affected.

AMD Polaris architecture is currently mainly used in Radeon RX 480 (2016), Radeon RX 580 (2017) and Radeon RX 590 (2018) graphics cards, which are based on GPU such as Polaris 10, Polaris 20 and Polaris 30, respectively. These graphics cards are already at a relatively low level of performance, so it is best not to use such graphics cards to run games that are so demanding on performance.
