PCSX2 has released version 2.9.58 today, bringing an update to its DirectX 12 graphics backend. This latest release enables the emulator's DirectX 12 renderer to compile shaders to Shader Model 6.5. The change, highlighted in the release notes as "GS/DX12: Compile shaders to Shader Model 6.5", aims to enhance graphical compatibility and fidelity for emulated titles. By supporting a more advanced shader model, the DX12 renderer can leverage newer shader capabilities, potentially improving how some PlayStation 2 games are rendered on modern graphics hardware.
