nVidia announce the Titan X at GDC 2015

Quite happy about dx12 not fully featured if true on the TX's. Means there's very little of AMD ****e being used by my cards.

I have just finished work and need a shower and walk the Dog but will do some proper digging on this Tier 3 stuff and see what is what when I am done and chillaxed

Well that sounds....ridiculous.

I'll tell you whats ridiculous, they spent mountains of money on developers trying to get their mantle crap that no-one wanted into games, no-one took it up so they gave/sold it to Khronos for Vulkan and now Vulkan is being incorporated into DX12. As long as there is a DX11 option for a very long time I'll be happy.

 

[PayneUK]

The man has a point, whether that point is worth listening to is up for debate

 

[Harlequin]

so the specs say its a retail branded M6000?

So let me get this straight, you'd rather not utilise the benefits of DX12 closer to the metal API which improves performance and reduces cpu bottlenecks/overheads...right...

I take it you've never used mantle ?

No need for that realy

I don't understand your logic at all lol.

I have... It was **** on the 280X through BF4, stuttery and felt slower than DX

 

[Ayahuasca]

I didn't think much of Mantle till I actually used it.

BF4 is definitely smoother on my 295x2 than it was my 970 but that could just be down to having more power now.

I do enjoy getting 144+ fps though at 1440p maxed out

go and ask Gregster about his opinion on AMD cards and mantle , now he has one.

The fact you mentioned closer to the metal has made a bit of sick come up. Thanks. There's nothing wrong with DX , I've been using it for years upon years with zero issue. This problem was created since EA wanted an API made.

I take it you've never used mantle ?

Yes I have. I saw zero difference in a blind test with DX and Mantle running.

No need for that realy

You'll get over it.

Nah, Lambchop already uses those letters day to day but in a rearranged way..... Mental

I really cant explain that any simpler.

Humanity wouldn't have invented the wheel with that 'it's fine as it is' attitude.

reported

Oh well, was only having a laugh but fair enough .

 

[eyetrip]

Lambchop, are you saying you want nothing to do with Kronos, DX12, etc, because there may be some distant ties in their past that had something to do with AMD and Mantle?

 

[Ayahuasca]

I'm pretty sure LambChop you will have been reported a few times yourself for the original post, it's blatant baiting and seems to have worked.

yea of course, that's the way his mind works !!!

 

[Gregster]

Right, having looked for more solid info on DX12 tiers and what is what, I am still clueless. Some are saying that MS have lowered the DX12_3 spec because nVidia paid them to do it Some are saying that GCN has been downgraded but there is no actual facts on GCN being fully supportive of all DX12 components (it should with AMD being in the Xbone) or Maxwell being fully supportive of all DX12 components, so gawd knows.

Some good comments in there but doesn't really answer anything. Worth a read for those interested

I hope TX is fully DX12 compliant but if not, that will be a downer.
