[RUMOR]*Pascal in trouble with Asynchronous Compute code

One reason that we think that this rumor might be true is the fact that chip design isn’t something that happens overnight. In fact,*it takes an architecture many years to go from the drawing board to hit the shelves.*Asynchronous Compute was hyped and became a major point of interest in the last year, which is most definitely not enough time for Nvidia to do anything about it.*If Asynchronous Compute wasn’t something that was a focus when the Pascal chips were initially designed – then there is nothing Nvidia can do about it at this late in the game.*The report further mentions that Nvidia also recently pushed its entire GameWorks SDK into the public domain via GitHub which could be seen as a move to make sure that all games that utilize its technology are fully optimized to leverage Nvidai GPU capabilities (No ASync + Bad Game Optimization = Bad Combo).
