Lost Planet 2 Benchmark

http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/foru...perclocked-ee-external-exhaust-review-10.html

5850 gets spanked of a 460 in Dirt 2, and we can all play guessing games.

My 480 min fps in the same as what my 5870 average is in Dirt2, yes nvidia came later but fact still remains for upcoming DX11 games, fermi is well faster.

Another example of true tessellation performance, Dirt2 on the option screens with the tessellated crowd in the back, 1000 core 5870= 45 fps, 480 = 80 fps, nearly 100 % increase in speed.

List of upcoming DirectX 11 games:

Which games do you think ATI will struggle with when they're released?
 
That's funny because Radeons are at most a few fps behind GeForces? Sure all the reviews lie and DirectX 11 games are unplayable on ATI cards :(

How well does ATI cope with Bad Company 2? I think pretty well. Three of the games of that list are based on this more or less modified engine.

Lost Planet 2 evidence is here in this thread. Waiting for drivers fix for Crossfire users and everything is sorted (like it happened with SLI).

Civilization V will never be a demanding game.

Last Crysis was pretty well optimized for ATI (plus it's a more or less port console anyway).

Dirt 3 we don't know anything about.

F1 I dunno, same engine?

Could carry on like that, I don't see any future release that ATI cards will struggle with. Sure, with DirectX 11 implementation with moderate/heavy tessellation they may be slightly behind but with majority games performance won't change?
 
lol BC2 DX11 was tacked on, comes down to some nicer shadows, anyway I'm sure the 6000 cards will readdress the balance concerning DX11 performance, ATI was first to the Dx11 table so it's understandable for them to be behind Nvidia in the DX11 department this generation.
 
I think its pretty well known that Nvidia are better at heavy tessellation than ATI. The best way to see this is the Unigine benchmark on extreme tessellation. On other settings the lead is not as great. :)
 
I think the issue here is most of the benchmarks for the new nvidia cards were done back in March with beta drivers. These don't give a true account of how these cards perform right now with the improved drivers, which seem to have done wonders.

Reviews of the latest cards usually use recent drivers for benchmarking/testing of any sort. Don't see the problem really?

Still holding my point, doesn't matter how well current generation of cards does in heavy tessellated benchmarks because there aren't any heavy tessellated releases any time soon, period.

"Lol", it's going to be the same engine for MoH as an example.

Yep the most recent drivers....at the time. We're 4 or 5 months down the line after release and newer, better drivers are here giving a true representation of what the cards can do.

Decent reviewers bring all the cards to test with the latest drivers. GeForce 460s aren't 4 or 5 months old?

Fair point mate. I was thinking more about the 480 though when they reviewed it back in March/April.

But when you benchmark for example GeForce 460s in SLI, you compare it to a single GeForce 480. In that case, you use the latest drivers for both cards.

Go to Techpowerup and see how with each single review scores differ slightly. They mention using the latest drivers for specific cards benchmarked (although they're range of games is a bit outdated imo).
 
Give some credit to Capcom, they could have just done a direct port but they have added DX11 features including tessellation, the final product will look a lot better than the benchmark.

Shame it shaves 60% off the FPS (at least on ATi cards), good job! Luckily this isn't a game I will play, just popped in to give the benchmark a try :)
