PC ports have always been lazy. Good PC ports have always been the exception to the norm.

Yes and that is why GCN in consoles is important for AMD.

This. Also, lets be honest the majority of people here will be buying a Pascal or Polaris card ( myself included) .

I therefore only really want to know how the next gen cards will fare in DX12 as i dont intend to keep my current card (a 980) for much longer and there are only a handful of DX12 games out and only one which i have actually been intserested in/bought (Tomb Raider, which is the one that runs better on Nvidia cards anyway ).

At the moment though it certainly looks like the current crop of AMD cards are faring better in DX12. However, with still only a few DX12 games out i am not going to start jumping to conclusions just yet.

I agree, but it is a tread and hard to miss when a 290 and all gcn cards are doing quite well, I just hope AMD don't shoot themselves in the foot like they have done in past years.

Does anyone actually play this game or is this thread just about willy waving/size defending?

Can I have your permission to use this quote when the next benchmark is released when the 980Ti's are seen to be "Smashing" the R9 Fury cards?

It was clearly made because it's another dx12 game showing the difference between Amd/Nvidia performance. We all want to see dx12 benchmarks because it's the new thing and even you have said you will buy dx12 games just because they are dx12. Although in the case of TitanX/Maxwell you will most likely be better in dx11.

The results don't suprise me much as AMD already look strong in dx12. Add to this the game is ported straight from XboxOne which uses dx12 and AMD/GCN hardware then all the advantage is with AMD in this title.

Lol. I never realised this was out. Does anyone remember Killer Instinct on the SNES? Came in the limited edition black cartridge :cool:

This seems to be a pattern, MS don't limping around with port, just pull them from Console with the GCN optimized code and job done.

I decided to read into this being Dx11 and i think you are right. I think because it's a windows 10 only game people are assuming dx12. I can't find anywhere that actually says the game is dx12. Makes this whole thread rather irrelevant.

I still have it - Its probably the game inserted in my SNES just now

Have the music CD that came with the game as well on display on my shelf where all my music sits 'Killer Cuts'

The fact it's dx11 makes those fps look rather silly, but at least amd are winning In This bench on dx11.

Now I would be impressed if it was a worthwhile game, add to that the fact you have to use win 10 even though it's dx11 makes me not want win 10 even more. Then add to that that you have install windows store and have a Xbox live account, Jesus, Microsoft really know how to fail pcgamers.

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.

I think they are using it to get people to sign up to the windows store/win 10 as the game is free. It's not something that will make me use the windows store but it might get some people in to doing it.

Agreed, At least if was dx12 and looked pretty it might persuade / sucker some people to jump on it.

Does it... does it not mean AMD spanking Nvidia all the same? It's still because of the console link up, it's still because of GCN. AMD appears better than Nvidia at DX12... simple seems that AMD is beating Nvidia in DX11 when devs are optimising for AMD properly also.

I will get windows store for this game.

Fyi the game isn't free, to buy the full game with all characters is around 60$. For free you get 1 charcter to use that changes on a monthly basis.

Yea did read something about having to buy Characters which is where they will make the money.

Yea those points still stand but a lot of the talk has been about this game and DX12. Irrelevant was probably the wrong word as some of the points made had nothing to do with this game.
