Concerned by Nvidia's current state of DX12 and Vulkan performance

Looks like NV has more of a CPU overhead in this game when looking at how much FPS they lose with the weaker CPU.
 
Round one FIGHT!!!

So we need test done on mainstream CPU's not these over priced Chips to see the real world performance..
Lucky enough I follow couple channels that do test different CPU configuration.
 
Why are you concerned OP? NVIDIA's Pascal offerings completely outperform AMD's in every game out there, including the limited number of DX12 games.

Obviously they are more expensive, since you get what you pay for.

Well because when Vega comes along and you can match like for like tiers it will not be the case as in 480 v 1060.
 
I wonder if the CPU bottleneck that's appeared for Nvidia (total reversal of AMD bottleneck in DX11) is to do with Nvidia's software/driver based context switching for Async compute?

Since we've seen devs say Async compute can be worse if you 'do it wrong' or 'do it too much', does Nvidia use some CPU time to do their Async brute force method?

Wondering this while noting the 1080 loses far more frames than the 980 Ti (which doesn't have the async context switching).

Don't people get tired waiting for vega, waiting for zen. And then the disappointment when they do land.

I think most who have bought a RX480 are pretty happy with them as are the 1060 owners so not a disappointment at all. The power usage could have been better but overall the RX480 is a decent card especially if you are buying in U.S. $.

There is no such thing as DX11.3, only different feature levels of what's called DX12 for marketing purposes but is actually DX11, Like Tomb Raider, FM TimeSpy.

So yes some of these people are still using DX11 but they get to say its DX12 because MS decided to call everything that isn't DX11 prior 2013 DX12.

This is so wrong, a shiver ran down my spine when i read that.
Of course there is DX11.3. It's Feature level 12_1 implemented in DX11.

Beside that you have DX12 with Feature Levels from 11_0 to 12_1. And it's not Timespy or Tomb Raider only, which use Feature level 11_0. So far there is no Feature Level 12_0 or 12_1 game. Hitman, GoW, Forza, DE MD etc, all 11_0.

But only if you have a £600 CPU, if you're a normal person with a normal CPU you'd might as well have an R9 390X :D

Not according to 1070 owners who are complaining in the Deus ex MD thread that they have to turn the graphics settings down so much just to remove stuttering. Even the wildly-priced 1080 can’t get it smooth at Very High settings (never mind Ultra). I would nearly pay the silly Nvidia prices for Christmas if they could max out current games, but they can’t. And they are even slower in DX12! That’s the problem.

My main point was to not rely on just one game and yet that's exactly what you are doing. I run a 1080 as well, everything in 1440p, everything maxed and the quality is outstanding. How does that fare against your comments?

I guess quite a few people still wait for AMD to finally come out with something that can compete and drive NVidia prices down. Maybe one day we will see it happen and hopefully you won't need a nuclear plant to run one of the better cards, that is if they do materialise.

Are you sure about that? http://wccftech.com/amd-vega-10-vega-11-magnum/ - we could see a paper launch and limited availability pretty soon (pretty sure they want to get Vega 10 to market before the GTX 1080 Ti, and avoid a repeat of last year with the GTX 980 Ti pooping on the Fury X parade).

AMD do have a track record of pooping on their own launches. If there is a way of messing up a launch, they will find it.
