DirectX Graphics Samples Updated to Agility SDK + Enhanced Barriers examples

We’re excited to share all DirectX Graphics Samples have been updated to use the latest DirectX 12 Agility SDK.

What’s New:

  • Agility SDK Integration: All samples now leverage the latest Agility SDK for improved compatibility and faster adoption of new DirectX capabilities.
  • Enhanced Barriers Support: Three samples (Multithreading, Small Resources, and nBodyGravity) have been upgraded to use D3D12 Enhanced Barriers when supported by hardware and drivers.

Why Enhanced Barriers Matter:

Enhanced Barriers introduce a more expressive and predictable barrier model, reducing synchronization overhead and simplifying resource layout management and aliasing.
