Nvidia don't have? Is Async compute no an open standard?

its part of DX12, DX12 isn't an open standard its proprietary to Microsoft

its an interesting point though, because AMD may well have patents on their specific GPU implementation of ACE's, so Nvidia would always have to come up with a different way of achieving the same thing

Looking at the few DX12 titles results for the 1080 though, it certainly doesn't seem to be hindering them with their latest implementation

the biggest advantage for AMD was that with the 28nm cards it brought them closer to parity on performance per mm2, if more devs take up DX12 at least they won't have the huge disadvantage they were having with DX11
 
Technically it can use it(hence the 'bubbles' articles), but there is still a queing system in place where as AMD can conquerently run multiple paths in tandem using their dedicated ACE implementation.

Nv will just brute force the rest of the rendering path on AMD sponsored titles, use it very sparingly on their own titles, and probably implement the other techs they are strong at.

The amount of titles Nv have their name on will dictate whether there is uptake or not=probably not.

As above DP might wade in and inform everyone we are wrong-but this is the guy who's been telling evryone AS has been enabled from the off on Maxwell despite Nv disabling it@driver level.

Not forgetting better overclocked cards, pascal drivers etc. That gap will only get bigger :)

yeah, I will be interested to see what new info we get on the 27th about timing of 6+8pin cards, but if there are "$599" reference boards available on launch day, I might end up getting one and putting it on a GPU only waterblock in the meantime

this is it, AMD have Async, but there are several other DX12 features that nvidia have that we haven't seen brought to the fore yet, so where game performance ends up at over the next couple of years could get quite interesting

Apologies if this has been posted.

But this guy tests an overclocked GTX 1080 against OVERCLOCKED cards.

Actually a decent comparison.

holy moly... I was almost on the fence but that fully tips me over in to getting one

Nice find and I was starting to do a bit of backtracking and thinking "is it worth it" but seeing those numbers (which tally up to my TX) has made my decision easier. I will be getting (unless the price is stupidly mental).
 
Pretty nice gains, nearly 60fps on division at 4k.. good grief. I assume it's EVERYTHING on ultra apart from AA? It doesn't say one way or the other just lists a few options..

DirectX 11
Ultra Preset
Shadow Quality = High
Post FX AA = Off
Temporal AA = Supersampling
Snow =Yes
Fog = Ultra
Anisotropic Filtering =16x

Its 51.8FPS for the overclocked GTX1080 and 43.3 for the overclocked GTX980TI.

Nope

The overclocked performance is nice considering these are likely conservative overclocks compared to what we'll eventually see, the card in that review was also throttling as well.

I was tempted by the 6 pin and waterblock as soon as. This time around I think I'm going to wait for a decent 6+8 pin. EVGA Classified. Run them on air until EK release some custom waterblocks.

Completely depends if they get a cheaper 6+8 pin reference SC editions out first I'll grab them. After all will be on waterblocks either way. Will not be buying the 6pin FE though.
