AMD to bring another performance driver!

tommybhoy said:
Yes, 99% of them don't run AMD and wouldn't have a clue how AMD drivers perform in comparison.

The 'my drivers are better than your drivers' is garbage imo using both-they both perform great in games.



I didn't outline the features Nvidia are trailing before Omega drivers release, after they release some will trail even further behind when those features advance some more.

AMD have features Nvidia don't have and vice versa, check the full feature set in the slides and compare, Nvidia have plenty of features to catch up on.

Both have features the other doesn't have is what I'm talking about.

I would say it is dead even as to which drivers are better.

I asked for you to show me how well they scale, and based on what you've shown me it doesnt look as bad as i initially thought. I was wrong. Though it still is pretty pathetic at 4k.

On the other hand, can you explain why the scaling so bad in 3dmark?

Whats going on here then?

I think you should have another look at those graphs and then ask your self how the futuremark benches work lol.

I know the graphs are 4k.

No i dont know can you please elaborate?

Let me help you then lol

When comparing futuremark benches you have to compare the Graphics Score not the overall score.

Single 980 @stock

4 x 980 @stock

Graphics Score (1) 3153

Graphics Score (4) 12357

I would say that is almost perfect scaling.

It is a shame the review sites don't just publish the graphics scores and they should also make sure the CPU is not bottlenecking the GPUs on the bench used.

Take a look at the post where i included a 290x trifire and 980 trisli, look at the 980 Graphics score.
 
I dunno, Kaap. I reckon the 290's are holding their own in FSU.
That the 980's are quicker isn't a surprise really. Can you imagine the outrage if they weren't?

The funny bit is the 290Xs are faster than the 980s on Heaven 4 @4K, this is NVidia's home ground for benchmarks.:D

Actually, it isn't nVidia's home ground. When the 7970 and 680 were going head to head, the 7970 was proper kicking butt. The 780/Titan changed that though and at 1080P, the tide turned and favoured nVidia. I expected it was the 256bit bus on the 680 that was the defacto and I expected the 512bit bus on the 290X to reclaim the title but it seems that 4K is when the bandwidth gets saturated and allows the 512bit bus to excel. A good move from AMD for 4K gamers, if only they had added more RAM from the off, they would have had a killer card on their hands (or at least for those that want and use 4K).

@4K the Titans are faster than both the 290Xs and 980s on Heaven 4.:)
 
I thought this was to discuss AMD next driver performance release not to see who has the biggest balls.

Im sick of the AMD and NV Fan-boys boycotting every thread that is put out there if it isn't about AMD VS NV its AMD VS Intel to be totally honest they both have there ups and downs as long as the game runs at the resolution that you want to play at it shouldn't really make any difference you dont see anything past a certain FPS anyways.

This thread is a joke sorry Admin if this is off course but it is starting to get really annoying when you are trying to read and find info and you come across this
 
Anyways... I'm looking to seeing what these drivers do for my pair of 290X's and that hopefully the damn Vsync DPC Issue in Crossfire is FINALLY fixed :D

I guess you didn't read the first post. The OP wants to know when nVidia will be releasing a performance driver.
