I would have thought both AMD and Nvidia would get an alpha/beta release to test with before general release of the game.
I reckon it's all planned by both AMD and Nvidia to get us to buy one each of their cards
. Best way to increase the market of a specialist product - make em buy one of each = market double the size potentiallyJoking!
I know a fair few with both PS and Xbox consoles........

I haven't even tried the demo yet but I have read that it does perform differently to the end game somewhere, Not in a bad way though, When you are talking about 80, 90 and beyond fps's in this style of game a 10 or 20 fps lead doesn't make much of a difference to how it feels and looks so performance appears to be good for everyone, As it should be.
It is, It bodes well for future releases.
I imagine the rumours that Volta is a lot more like GCN is true, They'll have the tech's when it's a lot more commonplace, Plus they'll have it as a reason to get Maxwell and Pascal owners to upgrade which is a win in their books.
Probably because AMD are winning with the like for like gpu's

Wow just tested shadow cache and off vs on is 20fps increase on my system!!
when I bring up AMD relive onscreen to capture it drops fps a little thats why you seeing 62 vs 78.. Without overlay on its 65 vs 85 only change when enabling and disabling shadow cache..
So why did Guru3D disable this again on the retest? if its boosting my performance this much what is the 480, fury etc getting?

The same reason they refuse to benchmark Doom in Vulkan mode?
It doesn't make any sense does it, the only reason they would do this is to hide AMD's actual performance.
The Doom Vulkan thing i could give them the benefit of the doubt but now there is a clear pattern forming with Guru3D

Because its fair! Your card gets 62fps now deal with it.

Still performs like a trooper though.
Thats a joke, surely?

Who knows. Maybe because the Fury-X is on an AIO, and isn't dumping hot air into the system.

Still using 3.9GB with it off according to AB.

Yes its a joke
Maybe something to do with HBM? Shankleys 290 is also 4GB.
Yeah I know. The Fury's have to sit this one out but with it off it'll be great anyway I mean.

Either the GTX1070 run was after the Fury card or it could be the Nvidia drivers pushing a greater CPU load as they thread better IIRC.

It is a bit naughty, Turning settings off because certain gpu's can't handle it is wrong, especially if those that can got a big improvement from it, I don't remember anyone offering to put the textures down one for ROTTR testing because it was too much for the Fiji cards.

lol you wouldn't see that much difference in temps with that kind of load, be serious.
You'd have to be pulling substantially more current through the die to see a 24-28% increase in temperature
