Hardware

Close to the metal.

The console-level goal of Duotronic is close-to-the-metal on supported AMD hardware: the aim is to give your game the whole machine, with no desktop running behind it.

Graphics Platform

The RDNA 2 architecture

Duotronic is being designed to run close to the metal on supported AMD RDNA 2 hardware.

Direct graphics: Designed so that games reach the graphics hardware with no desktop in between.
Honest status: The graphics platform line reads “Not checked” until the hardware has been checked.
Shaders first: Designed so that shaders are prepared before a game first starts, rather than during play.

No Hardware Detection

Duotronic does not detect your hardware automatically. Display settings, refresh rate and HDR paper white are set by eye, using the calibration card during setup.
