Hitman and AMD in DX12 partnership

Division looks awful on PC. I'm not wasting my money on that steaming pile.

It seems to be running fine what I meant was a TX should manage playable fps when maxed at 1440p but as more and more games have started to show that isn't always the case. That makes me think such settings aren't worth having in the games.

But as said hopefully the final release will have the fps at those settings up from the mid 20's to at least the mid 30's
We'll have to wait and see.
Hopefully Greg will do us a video showing how much of a change there is between the Beta and final release (

).

You running Ultra with a decent res?

Or you a low-ender?

Looks nothing special at all, (knowing it's beta)if that's the final product in relation to IQ, a let down is an understatement after the imo superior quality of iq in titles like ACS/SWBF/ROTTR/Division(which may get even more IQ on release).

SS is unlocked and goes to a max of 2x, which results in around 20 fps for me at 1440P.

Cheers G.

That's a huge performance impact if your going from 50-60 fps down to 20fps,

Can Async reduce msaa cost, if it does it'll perhaps answer the Async speculation.

Performance cost isn't worth the outlay any more personally, it isn't adding anything graphically WOW! anymore.

I think it's just to enable Compute to run concurrently with Graphics...

I know that bit.

What I don't know is what type of IQ compute 'effect' can be ran concurrently that's going to reduce 'cost' on the superior solution, is msaa one of them?

Going off of SD's max IQ hit, I think used compute giving AMD advantage with the 79 series>6 series, until Titan/78's compute capabilities restored performance parity.

Wondering if something like that is going to happen again if NV do have an AS problem.

Even with a Titan X is awful. Ubi dumbed down another title that could've been great, but instead went console

Razor Time · 20 Feb 2016 at 12:04

According to digital foundry the console version runs in the mid 20fps in allot of sections of the game.

Really dude, I think it looks great!! I know it's not quite E3 footage great but I'm more than happy with it

Asynchronous compute want help masa at all.

We have been spoiled lately with game visuals and The Division is one of the best looking games I have seen. ROTTR another. It was said that Hitman will have more graphical options with DX12 and I sure hope so, as nothing I have seen apart from maybe the opening on the heli pad looks anything special but again, I won't base anything on this Beta and will give the full release (or at least the first chapter) a fair play.

Simon.... The Division is great to look at and play bud.

What fps you getting?

50-60 with everything maxed except SS I believe.

Danke

Something very weird with the Titan X and 980ti results, never seen a difference like that before.

Looking forward to seeing what DX12 does to these.

Lokken86 · 20 Feb 2016 at 21:16

Nice result for my guy there at 1440. Matching a standard 980t. Il take that

LoadsaMoney · 20 Feb 2016 at 21:22

Yeah, and beating it at 4k, even the 390X is doing well at 4k, matching the Ti.

Still, its only a Beta, id expect all change on final release.

Yeah but regardless of who is the winner its looking good for us when the dx12 version is out if 1 card can average 50fps even on dx11

Mauller · 20 Feb 2016 at 21:29

That moment when it comes out of beta and the results are no different. Async compute letting the AMD cards stretch their legs.

It can smash NVidia a new one when it comes out of Beta as far as I care but if it is as dull as the Beta, I don't care. I beg that it goes back to the original Hitam pre absolution but so far not imprssed
