Have any of you got Warhammer Total War, I have started a bench thread for it and posting a few scores has got to be more interesting than debating in this thread.:)

The Red Baron has promised a few scores but he is not around at the weekends.

So that's why Warhammer on my RX480s is worse in DX12 than it is in DX11.:eek:

I don't know about dx12 v dx11 in this game but your RX480 results seem really low. For instance Guru has the RX480 around 30% slower than the gtx1080 in this game and you have the Titan X pascal around 330% faster.

Amd in Dx12 should be doing well in this game. Something is effecting your Rx480 results as it should be in the region of 60% slower than Titan Pascal in this game according to Guru's results. Maybe the AA or something but 330% seems wrong.

That's the problem with reviews, they test something for 5 minutes and get it wrong.

They don't use maximum settings either.

Performance of the RX480s is about right compared to the Pascal Titans.

Pascal is quite a bit ahead of Maxwell in the bench too.

The other thing about comparing graphics performance of cards is it is best to use 2160p, if you look at your own link you will realise the gap is a lot wider at 4k as the CPU bottleneck has been reduced.

Yea but you have the Titan Pascal 330% faster at 1080p . Just seems a bit wide in a game where all reviews have AMD doing well. Titan pascal is only around 30% faster than a 1080 which is only 30% faster according to Guru. Even with limited testing that's a huge difference. Something must be overwhelming the Rx480 whether it's aa or some other setting. Titan is definitely able to stretch it's legs in comparison.

Techpower had they used a Titan Pascal would have it around 100% faster than the stock Rx480.

It is the AA that shows the cards true performance by removing the CPU bottleneck.

If you lower all settings in a bench in the end all the cards will score about the same fps because they are all CPU bottlenecked.

Just added some Maxwell Titan scores to the bench thread.

Could do with some scores from other people too.:)

I will bench some more of my cards next week when I am off work.:)

Your Fury's will be interesting as without a bottleneck they might show up well. It's not my type of game so can count me out. My mate has it and i enjoy watching it but there is to much time and thought for me to play it these days.
 
Yeah, it's okay for benchmarking because you wanna see what the cards can do but for actual gameplay people don't care about pushing sliders to the max just 'cause.

For most of us definitely. For somebody that has 4 of every decent card pretty much i understand why he does it.

Back in the day if I had been involved in benching GTX 680s and HD7970s and doing the threads it would have been obvious very quickly that the HD7970 was the faster card. This is because using max settings and high resolutions really exposes the 680s weaknesses.

This is the advantage of using max settings. For normal gameplay you turn the settings down to suit the game.:)
