Nice to see the difference between Async on vs off
Okay, on our first round with the RX 480 and the DOOM Vulkan patch we were informed that SMAA doesn't allow for Async Compute to function, so we set it to the suggested TSSAA, now for the comparison to include Async Compute.
I don't know if Vulkan is 99.9% mantle, it is very, very similar though. The delay in release? Well, Mantle was still in development when AMD handed it over. Getting it working with other cards and finishing it off would have taken some time.
Once stock settles I am gonna do some RX-480 and Freesync monitor bundles, be good to hit £299 for an RX 480 and 22" Freesync 1080P monitor as for most that would be a killer setup that does not destroy the wallet.
Thanks for the heads up, will give it a go when I get back from me hols.
Doom's still on GMG for ~£19 for those looking not to get ripped off in the mm.
That's about the same price as a 1080p G-Sync panel alone never mind a £230 gpu too!!!
More importantly, is FreeSync Vulkan ready?
Poor 1080 Strange considering they showcased this API running on this GPU using Vulkan?
His system has some issues. Even on Rise of the Tomb Raider he had similar issues and some user pointed out.
What issues would that be?
Edit
O you mean the Frame rate on Tomb Raider? Well that was because his software he was using wasn't reading the games FPS correct under DX12. The end results was correct am lead to believe.
The Doom bench above is completely different because the frame rate you seeing is direct from the game itself.
There's a vsync or frame pacing issue on nvidia. FPS shows as the same/higher than OGL but the game stutters and renders frames out of order. You need to turn vsync off to rectify the issue. No word on whether it's an id or Nvidia bug yet. You probably shouldn't compound the issue by messing around in the nvidia control panel.
On the plus side with vsync off the tearing is imperceptible for the most part.
Around 30% performance improved for GTX 1080. It is a dam good start for Vulkan.
