Killer Instinct DX12 benchmarks

[GoogalyMoogaly]

Best ROI for a gpu ever?

What about the 7950? Wasn't that considered better bang4buck at the time? guessing it's still managing to hit the same % of the 7970 performance as it used to?

Nothing I read said it was not Dx12. There was a site I posted above saying it was Dx12. It was only when Asa said I decided I better dig a little deeper before posting some more.

It's another belter of a release but I am sure those that are sentimental of the old game will give it a shot. I am more into Street Fighter myself. The ratings on that page look ok.

Yeah, I prefer the StreetFighter and Mortal Kombat games (plus Injustice). Even back in the N64 days (that's where the original Killer Instinct was wasn't it?) I wasn't overly interested. Did have nice graphics though. I seem to recall there being something like a 127 hit combo or something? Because I suck at these sorts of games, games with the ability for huge combos always put me off as I'd never get close to achieving them and it seems to be what the game is built around.

I thought all 2d fighting games were locked to 60 fps? I thought they only draw 60 frames and all the moves and frame data revolve around 60fps.

Is KI different?

On sf4 i could pull 300fps in the built in benchmark but you would only ever play at 60 because thats how the game works.

Spot on Gregster. reminds me of those massive rock dummies on a rope you used to get at the seaside for some reason.
All this sillyness over a benchmark. tsk tsk.
Its just a my cards faster that your card thread. Nothing to see here.
Playground craze.

But it's not, Greens still faster and the Fury couldn't be tested cause they're broken with it, surprise surprise.
Genuine DX12 titles are still a long way off. By the time we get a steady stream of true DX12 titles coming through it'll all be about the die shrink cards.

Don't know why people are even arguing in this thread.

Looking at the OP -

No SLI support
No CF support
No Fiji cards in graph
No 390(X) in graph
No TX in graph

The figures don't look right, what gives this away is comparing single and mGPU scores, even if there is no support for it the mGPU score will often be different (lower) not the same.

I am a big fan of the HD 7970 so it is good to see it doing well.

Bought 4 of them at a combined cost of less than a single Titan, probably just as fast if not faster now since Nvidia gimped/stopped optimising Kepler drivers.

my guess is Nvidia shifted most of their driver team resources to pascal, trying to get a good launch, maybe thats why most games lately seem less optimised for nvidia, they just have bigger fish to fry.

I had 3 of the HIS IceQ 7950 Boosts. Great cards and great value. Sold them all now. My only criticism was the display connectivity options available as I was trying to connect 3 x 120Hz monitors at the time.

One thing to note is how venerable Pitcairn is. The funny side of this is how Baffin XT / Polaris 11 has the same number of shaders yet people say it will run as well as a GTX 950...

It was just a power consumption comparisson at comparable performance. With GCN 4 improvements and all the extra GCN 2 - 3 improvements, Baffin XT will more than likely perform on part with stock Tahiti at 1ghz. And is more likely to surpass Tahiti with higher core clocks. Considering it only takes a 200mhz overclock on a pitcairn part to make it match Tahiti.

That's what I settled on, His IceQ 7950 CrossFired(it simply just worked then) modded undervolted bios@1100Mhz-they lapped up everything and smacked a Titan rotten.

Two of them after selling the crazy amount of games=£360, sold them for £300, if I bought a Titan, that outlay would have cost anything between £350/450 instead of £60 moving up.

Before I get grief for comparing it to Titan, tough-for my needs, those 7950's mullered a single Titan without running out of vram@1080p, for the outlay they were simply Legendary.

Happiest days ever running AMD, then that abruptly stopped after Omega driver when 290X CrossFire fell off a cliff so they abruptly got dumped for Nv.

interesting benchmarks

I wondered if I did the right thing when I bought my Sapphire 290 Tri-X

but as time as gone on - its turning out to be one of best value cards I've ever bought

even beginning to wonder if it bests my 8800GTX as best value card I've owned

So what do amd/NVidia users get results wise using the performance test in-game at 1080p max settings? Just curious to see results.

Seen as this is DX11 after all, is anyone going to start a thread with 'Everybody's Gone to Rapture' benches from the same guys?

http://www.gamegpu.com/rpg/роллевые/everybodys-gone-to-the-rapture-test-gpu

980 33% is faster at 1080p than a 290x in that one and 23% faster at 1440p ^



As always, there are always games where one brand does better than the other or at least some exceptions that break the status quo. I am not sure why people are getting either so excited or upset (depending on which obvious camp they are in) about AMD doing well in Killer Instinct.
