AMD R9 290X As Fast As Titan X in DX12 Enabled 3DMark

This is just the API draw calls though?

How exactly will this influence real world performance in DX12 based software?

Four month old article, is it still relevant today? even so what does it matter about draw calls? Mantle was capable of a ton more draw calls than DX11 and look how that went. Unless AMD start working with developers like NVidia do they'll never press home any advantages their GPU's have.

AMD's driver team are doing a fantastic job on Windows 10 drivers so far, long may it continue

That is not a benchmark, 3Dmark explicitly state not to use it for comparisons.

That's what I'm wondering, the comparison between the two in DX12 is not that different to there DX11 results and it never made the 290x perform better than a Titan X even though the draw calls where slightly better. To me it just looks like more of the same when comparing the brands. Both get a massive improvement leaving them practically where they were in comparison to each other.

Four month old article,

I just noticed that

NOT TO BE USED FOR COMPARISONS BETWEEN CARDS/BRANDS.

Same here.... Oh well
