Fable Legends: AMD and Nvidia go head-to-head in latest DirectX 12 benchmark

I am really shocked at CPU benchmarks, Core i3 2C/4T beaten Intel Core i7 4960X 6C/12T performance on either Nvidia and AMD GPU at 4K. :eek:

We really need more Skylake, Broadwell, Haswell, Ivy Bridge and Sandy Bridge CPU benchmarks to see how well CPU scaling on Fable Legends with DirectX 12.

I would be surprised if all DirectX 12 games 4K performance will be same. 6C/12T supposed to be much faster than 2C/4T at 4K when threads spreaded to all cores to increased performance.

So it actually looks like the 980ti is faster than the FuryX as we see in DX11, despite a lack of optimized driver form Nvidia.

This is why Nvidia said to wait to see more DX12 benchmarks because that ridiculous AMD PR piece wasn't representative of anything resembling reality.

I wouldn't go that far, but I would say Nvidia definitely knew what to expect for dx12, but as you know, to them business wise it has always been the case of the quicker their graphic cards become obsolete the better it is for them, as it would mean they would faster turnaround for repeat customs from their userbase buying new products from them.

I mean just look at the less than generous amount of vram offered for their cards (with the one rare except on the 980Ti)...it make SLI only a practical option if you do it early on, rather than a worthwhile option getting another card to SLI at much later down the line.

That is why Nvidia supports more DX12 features than AMD cards.

The 390X is doing well there on PCPer's results.

If there's anything to take away from this, it is that if anyone is in the market for a new grapic card and would like to play future dx12 titles, they should most definitely get a 390 as bare minimum, rather than getting 380 or 960 or lesser cards. Save up if they need to.

It is a pity they don't have 970 and 390 results in there (the 390X is quite a bit faster), but it is a valid point - there seems to big a big change going from 960/380 to 980/390X.

A good thread although I have to agree with Stanners and you knew what you was doing Shankly and unsurprisingly, AMDMatt and Tommybhoy all singing off the same sheet.

When did the other two jump on the Nvidia bandwagon or have I missed something?

Or is it maybe because I don't gloss over fact that my cards getting bettered by AMD again???

Or is it maybe because of gregster reviewGate?:p

No argument from me. You can see how that translates to games (I meant to add that to my last post)



And at 4K we have:



With the 980Ti pushing console acceptable frame rates only but bearing in mind that results are Ultra and can be turned down.

Pretty much neck and neck with the 980Ti and Fury X. What's interesting IMO is the 390 performance. Nice stuff but I would like to see some more user benchmarks when this game/benchmark is widely available.

The 390/390X series are exceptional cards for the price you pay - fantastic DX12 performance, 8GB of VRAM (more than the £520 980TI) and excellent quiet/cool coolers.

Though it's very important to add that DX11 performance is just as important as DX12 performance - and at the moment the 390/390X series have MASSIVE problems in DX11 games when using Windows 10.

I personally cannot play a DX11 game with my 390X for more than 10 minutes without a driver crash - and it's not just me, here's a thread on the official AMD forums where there are hundreds others having the same issue:

https://community.amd.com/thread/183430?start=630&tstart=0

AMD_Matt responded to the thread two weeks ago, since then we've had NO updates or communication from AMD of any kind. They are keen enough to post in threads like this when they are painted in a good light, however...:

I think the problem is Win10 rather than a particular vendor or GPU.

Looks like once you factor in factory OC'd cards the AMD cards get... mildly stomped.

Starting to look like Extremetech have done something naughty.... Every other site has the 980Ti out ahead and by quite a margin. Hopefully it was something up with their testing methodology and not purposefully tampered with.

These other benchmarks are using a mixture of factory OC'd cards (on both sides) whereas Extreme Tech seem to be using reference cards. Once you add that into the equation the lack of OC ability on the FX is really starting to get shown up. While it can't best the 390X the 980 makes up a lot of ground once you take it off the leash and the 980ti just runs away.

I've heard that a minority of NVIDIA users have driver crashes - though not as frequent as AMD 390 owners.

I'm really not exaggerating when I say I cannot play a DX11 game for more than 10 minutes without a driver crash.

Shrout has been on Nvidia payroll for years though :P PCper's results are among the least reliable / credible..

User benchmarks is where it's at, is there a Fable benchmark for users?

the other reviews seem to corroborate PCPer's results, extremetech are the odd one out right now, which looking at Joel's history of articles raises some questions
 
Happy for the 390X (surpsisingly the best thing to come out of AMD in the last batch of GPUs), but the Fury X will always be held back by it's non-existent overclock ability.
