Ashes of the Singularity Coming, with DX12 Benchmark in thread.

Greg, next time try reading this thread more carefully :D
guru3D has no clue that FCAT does not support dx12 correctly.
There is an article on extremetech explaining this. There is no stutter on single or dual GPUs from AMD. period ;)

All good and I just thought it was interesting. I even posted what AMD had to say about it but AMD are Vsync locked, which does produce stutter but if you can't see it, happy days ;)

on single GPU there was some slowdowns on my fury x, from time to time, but I am very sensitive to lower than 60fps. But with 2x fury x it was butter smooth.

I just read the Extremetech article and some solid points. Take what your eyes see really and if you don't see any stutter, happy happy :)
 
Just been reading this article from Guru3D when looking for comparison vids to check IQ and some interesting facts have cropped up and I don't think the AMD boys will like it :(

Stutter city for AMD

Maybe you forgot to read this bit...


The claim from Stardock is right - but the final results from their benchmark are flawed for all Radeon cards. Internally at the 3D engine you might even be rendering 900 frames per second, but if at the end of the pipeline VSYNC remains to be enabled, 60 FPS (or something similar to your refresh rate) will be your upper limited and VSYNC itself will have an effect on the overall framerate as demonstrated in the FCAT above. With one and the same DX12 code-path behaviour then to be the same for both AMD and NVIDIA right ?:

Reading the article I suspect the Nvidia boys should be more upset. The AMD results are limited by Vsync being enabled so theoretically the results can be higher than the current tests.

There is no mention of stutter except for the 980-980ti dual gpu test they did so your dig at AMD is unfounded and shows your Nvidia bias again. The AMD cards are showing the large but consistent frametimes in FCAT because of Vsync being forced in the benchmark. It does not show any problems in the game but only in the FCAT measurement.

AMD already stated that Radeon Software 16.1 / 16.2 does not support a DirectFlip in DX12, which is mandatory to solve to this specific situation/measurement. AMD intends to resolve this issue in a future driver update. Once that happens we'll revisit FCAT.



Read the following article if you don't understand what FCAT is doing with AMD results:

Here is a fun benchmark just for fun.

Custom test with 64M samples.

64M%20samples_zpsimdeu9df.png

I tested 128M aswell, and got 39fps average. Scaling isn't right though, so I bet we're hitting some limits how much engine is actually able to show.
 
Gregster was actually right. If that graph would have been legit, and there would actually been stuttering, we AMD boys wouldn't have liked it. Atleast those of us who can also critisize AMD.

Thanks. I read it and assumed FCAT was working like it was for NVidia but after reading the Extremetech article, I can see I was wrong and hands up. I also misread what message AMD sent over to Guru3D and yer, I am having a bad day :D

General question, do you guys play games with fraps running ? Or anything else that shows fps etc when playing games ?

Only when I intend to record for a review or show performance on my Youtube channel, otherwise I don't even bother overclocking or having any overlay running except for ShadowPlay.
 
What part about I admit I read it wrong do you not understand? Look at my previous posts in this thread and then look at your own. You are barking massively up the wrong tree by calling me bias!

You are saying that I start some fanboy argument but in your own post you say "AMD boys" hence my rolleyes. Let's call it quits now.

Focus on the game bloom effect difference which is a big change judging by the old version video I referenced.

I posted up my video and linked to a tech video - Feel free to dissect both and see what is what. I bet the guy who did that video that you keep repeatedly posting and bringing up made a mistake (which is easily done).
 
Interesting energy efficiency test by tomshardware.de

Energy efficiency Watts / fps on 980/980Ti and Fury X are on same level, 390x is far behind.

after being busted about FCAT - again , they are trying for a shred of professionalism now - THG have been caught before not updating results when new cards come out (for older cards) or using certain sample size for their own ends

Does anyone seriously look at efficiency when playing a game? lol

The Async Shaders are hardware units in the AMD cards so use more power as you would expect. Kind of confirms that the Nvidia Async is not hardware if power consumption doesn't change much. Is Async even functioning on Nvidia cards though?

Isn't Maxwell 2's superior power efficieny always on the table when there is nerdfights happening between nvidia and amd fanboys. In every single forum. This just proofs that Fiji is just as power efficient than maxwell when properly fed.

And no, nobody cares about power efficieny while playing :P Still interesting read.
