Goes to show that it is capable of being very fast when optimised though. Raised my eyebrow.Nah, that's just nVidia feeling sorry for AMD so they gave them that one measly game....

And how often is this going to happen? Likely very very rarely.

Moore style?
Dunno. Is there not meant to be a decent amount of developers on board?
Exactly like thatMoore style?

History shows that this won't sustain, if it did it would certainly be against the grain.

Not wearing a tin foil hat or anything but I have a sneaking suspicion that Nvidia will throw money at devs to put more Gameworks features in games as to put the kibosh on this Vega optimization which seems to completely outperform even a 1080 Ti.
Aren't far cry 5 and the new wolfenstein also suppose to be specially optimised to make use of vega hardware? If so, there's another 2 games within the space of what a month of vega release? Assuming the results are as good as forza, that won't be a bad show, considering game development takes 2+ years.....

Yep, Especially Wolfenstein, The devs made a big deal of it, Apparently it will be using Vega's FP16 performance as well as instruction prefetching so should give similar performance as Forza 7 vs a 1080 Ti...in theory.

Yep, This is why I stopped paying attention to reviewers a long time ago and go off forum users info.
instruction prefetching looks very interesting and with the consoles using it hopefully devs will code it as standard

Console yes, PC no, unless Nvidia can also do it.

Why not? If it speeds up time, that also means less money. Do you think AMD give money for Forza 7 support? Answer is no

As the PC is Nvidia.

It does look like an ace card. Before I get too excited I would like to see some more benches of forza 7 as I won't rely on just one site.

@LoadsaMoney Your original comment of the "PC Market" makes more sense, or more accurately, "most of" and "the gaming" and at the moment". I currently have only one NV product, the GPU in my laptop. My other 5 *PCs* have no NV ...
Why on earth would it be an issue for developers if they can improve AMD performance while not hampering NV? That makes no sense unless there is rotten shenanigans etc. going on in the background.

As the developers wont bother with something, that only a few people can make use of on the PC.
