That is all great, but will any of it translate into gaming performance? Hopefully yes![]()
Let's hope! My main concern is the single compute. It's much slower than the 980Ti.
Single Compute 5312.60 vs 9005.12
Unfortunately you are quite right. We all know AMD technically is superior to Nvidia when it comes to dx12, due to to having Async Shaders support at hardware level, when Nvidia existing cards don't and is only supported at software level, along with their upcoming card won't have support at hardware level but only a workaround. Because of this, but we know AMD will have higher power consumption and heat, even if delivering the same frame rate/performance.
But you can bet of Nvidia to throw their weight around with developers to keep the use of Async Shaders to as low as possible, so AMD's hardware advantage won't mean much in reality, and Nvidia will pull ahead in general performance and win in benchmarks, due to not bothering with Async Shaders but continue to focus only on improving performance for dated approach, at the cost holding back the one of the potential biggest benefit of dx12 for PC gaming for the sake of winning against the competition and maximising their profit.
