New Features

• Added Fast Sync support for SLI
  Fast Sync under SLI is available only on the following ‘bridged’ SLI configurations:
  • NVIDIA Maxwell GPUs: Any resolution less than 4k
  • NVIDIA Pascal & later GPUs: Any resolution
• Implemented improved behavior for full-screen Vulkan swapchains using VK_KHR_win32_surface.
  This optimization will cause more events that trigger an out-of-date swapchain, such as when entering or leaving full-screen mode (typically by pressing Alt+tab). Applications that do not properly respond to the VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DATE_KHR return code may not function properly when these events occur. See the WSI Swapchain section of the Vulkan specification.
• Added support for the DirectX Intermediate Language (DXIL)
  • Includes full support for DirectX 12 Shader Model 6.0, features such as Wavemath, and the DirectX Shader Compiler.
