***The DigitalFoundry Face Off Thread***

Another look at Quantum Break. Seems possible to get a solid "1080p"/60fps with an R9 390 now with a couple of settings turned down, although turning the new upscaling option off and rendering at native 1080p brings performance crashing down again. A Fury X can almost manage a locked 1080p/60fps on medium settings, but not quite.

Still seems to be a complete disaster on Nvidia cards though, unfortunately.

Shame a lot people want this game on pc. To me though it looks very boring.

It's still better than playing it on XB1.

Oh was there a sneaky edit in there

One thing I do like about the digital foundry videos - they are usually very clear when talking.

AMD owned in Doom.

Amd about to release a new driver for Doom, I do hope digital foundry redo this test.

Be interesting to see Fury GPUs against 980ti etc because they not ment to have the performance issue.

Looking forward to DF looking at the 1080

Gamers Nexus is far better imo, however i have sub'd to them.

Makes me wonder what they will pit it against. 1080 V Fury X would be ermmmm one sided really.

Looks like the new driver did make a huge improvment for the 390. I call for a do over I think it will be a dead heat.

Until AMD release something newer and faster that's all they can do. Unless they add a 980ti and do tests with all three. Maybe pit it against a duo?

And the 1070 which sounds like a worthy successor to the 970.

Ti/TX

Personally I'd like them to pit it against 980Ti SLi, see if it's not too far off (then I'd be happy that I made the right choice)

Has i expected an updated version. Am lead to believe this was an issue with OpenGL feature pack. Nvidia is running 4.5 while AMD is running 4.3 with Features. So I guess they was an issue with a extension?

Doom Dev - @idSoftwareTiago
It's using 4.3 with extensions from 4.4 and 4.5. There is no advantage in initializing a 4.5 context.

Even if it was a few days late for release props to AMD for actually getting it fixed in a timely fashion rather than turning up a month or 2 later.

Correct.. This is where AMD needs to work on and so far this Year they been on the ball with Driver updates.

Some interesting stuff going on there hehe - looks like the extra VRAM/bandwidth on the Titan X is making those transitions less painful but also shows some issues with memory management and shader caching on the FX by the looks of it and even the 1080 isn't coming out without looking like its suffering a little memory wise.
