AMD Overhaul for Azimuth (V3)

AMD Overhaul for Azimuth — V3

An experimental D3D12 proxy project by SSTG targeting AMD RDNA graphics cards running Forza Horizon 2 through Azimuth.

Development status

•V3 is currently in Phase 0 (measurement harness). No release/download has been published yet.

•Target runtime: Azimuth 1.0.3.

•Primary test GPU: Radeon RX 5700 XT (RDNA 1).

•AMD-only: the proxy is not intended for NVIDIA or Intel graphics cards.

•The V3 roadmap evaluates potential improvements using measured performance results before retaining changes. Earlier V2 work explored asynchronous compute and PSO caching; these are not promises of finished V3 features.

Compatibility and installation

The author plans a drop-in d3d12.dll placed beside azimuth.exe once an actual release exists. Do not attempt installation yet; there is currently no released build. A separate FH2-FSR4 repository is referenced as a submodule, but FSR 4 is not included as a working V3 feature at this stage.

See the official GitHub repository for the roadmap, source and release status.
