He dropped the most demanding setting down on the 970 because lack of vram. Lol extended draw distance to medium on the 970.

Well, I am not sure how you read that in my posts to you.
I hope for the best for every card that's released and try to be more positive than negative. But try not to be too caught up in the hype good or bad.
Yep.Its not fake, it was pointed out you can see the RX 480 listed in the Overwatch settings of this video.
Overwatch RX 480 Gameplay FPS Test
(just in case the time-stamp link doesnt work, its at 0:57)
And he redid his GTAV test with setting that look more reasonable for a ~$200 GPU.
GTA 5 RX 480 + i5-6400 Benchmark
Still all on un-official drivers I assume though.
Vreenak says it's a faaake!Clearly, as Captain Sisqo says:
It's a FAKE...!
Sisko says it's real!

I wouldn't put it past OCUK to still try it on
Exchange rates improved during this week but 1080s went up in price with the reason given as worsening exchange rates so anything could happen.

I would hope so, that GTA V bench was stuttering and pausing like a mofo!
I can't wait to read this thread after release

The settings he uses for the hardware he's testing is just "odd" to say the least.I would hope so, that GTA V bench was stuttering and pausing like a mofo!

He shouldnt even be touching advanced settings with that CPU, and other odd setting choices.
Apparently choosing proper test settings to match the hardware being tested is too much of a mental challenge for some.
Now we know why games have presets.....for those who have no clue what theyre doing.
The point of this is to provide a benchmark, not to show what are good, playable settings.
And an i5 Skylake is nothing to sneeze at. Not like he's running some AMD CPU or something.
2.7ghz with DDR 4 2133 he most certainly is CPU bound with those settings.
ok I ran the same gta benchmark with my 4gb 960 and i3 6100,8gb 2133 ram..nothing overclocked just standard and I'm roughly the same fps in the video but the card and cpu were maxed out,i was a couple of fps behind in some places and 10 fps behind in others..lets hope its the drivers

i5 3470 keeping up with a 4770k pretty reasonably. And Skylake apparently performs quite well in gaming compared to Sandy/Ivy Bridge from what Digital Foundry showed recently. Either way, shows a 10% reduction in performance from 3.5Ghz to 2.5Ghz, which isn't drastic.
And there aint nothing wrong with that RAM.

And that's at 2560x1600 at 1920x1080 he will be even more CPU bound.
So he cranks up the settings that are most taxing on the CPU while using lower settings for the ones that tax the GPU the most.
Would you choose the same settings he did if you were testing a GPUs performance with that hardware?
