Whats this I hear that 90ti does not support DX12?

hobib_ali · 17 Nov 2015 at 17:31

Im looking at info on sli'ing ti's, come across this site saying that 980ti's are not supporting DX12 or some sort of DX12 shaders..

I recently changed from a 980 to a 980ti coz i wanted to get DX12 ready, now I want to buy a 2nd ti and now I read this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterra...st_rpcgaming_nvidia_gpus_do_not_support_dx12/

is this some sort of reddit crap thats online?

Yer, it is fact and the 980Ti doesn't support DX12....

Only joking and the 980Ti does do DX12 with ACE.

You went from a 980 to a 980Ti because you wanted to be DX12 ready? Mate you got had!

Maxwell architecture doesn't have full hardware support for Async Shaders. It uses a software scheduler. This increases latency in games that would use those shaders i.e VR.

980 does support DX12 though the 980Ti supports a couple extra features nothing which will change or make ground breaking differences.

If you wanted to be covered for DX12 you should have stayed on a 980 and saved your money. Pascal is not far away lol. Hell by the time DX12 is here in a game or two Pascal will be here at the same time.

Bascially got had, im soooo sorry.

The fuss over Async compute is massively exaggerated. If you run the Ashes bench on your 980Ti, you will see that you beat the Fury X which is far better at Async than Maxwell. I wouldn't go SLI though and would still switch over to Pascal/Greenland when it comes out as I expect big performance gains when 14/16nm finally hits us.

Have to agree, it's a non issue. One certainly not worth changing from a GM200 to a Fury over...there are so many reasons why not to do that.

I bloomin well hope so! the wait has been insane!

Like the 980 Ti is faster running DX12 anyway.

Yer, I am itching to upgrade but not really interested in small Pascal (unless it is way faster than what we have now).

Wanna buy a different 980Ti? It's Y2K-compatible...

Gambling on what "might" happen in the future is a waste of time and money. Once there's a few DX12 games out that your card doesn't support features on that you want to play, that's the time to upgrade.

Luckily, once that time comes there'll be a ton of reviews and performance tests so you know which card to upgrade to.

A crude guide is to base performance on how many transistors in the GPU.

On that basis I am not expecting a huge amount from Small Pascal over the current GM200 cards.

Big Pascal on the other hand will be a massive leap forward.

Do you think small pascal will be faster then Titan X? Will TitanX be able to keep up with DX12 games coming?

Small Pascal will be faster than the GM200 cards but I don't think it will be a huge leap forward.

This is exactly what we said would happen.

didn't get "had", this ti ive got is a monster, its the Zotac Amp Extreme and massively overclocked, way way better than my 980 and faster than the MSI Lightning....

Too add I remember maxing out AC Unity and GTAV on 1440p on my 980, couldn't handle extreme high, everything max, this ti I got blows any game to shreds.

That is not what you asked though is it? You asked about DX12. If that is why you upgraded from 980 to ti, you got had

In less than 6 months 980ti will be a relic, as the new cards will outperform it and run much cooler and quieter doing so and have proper dx12.

As much as I love how my card looks in my case, I can't wait for 14/16nm cards

That's the way the game works.

In another 6 months Small Pascal will also be a relic.

I was referring to the manufacturing process change and new architecture and hbm2 etc coming out, not just performance. Also there has not been a big jump in performance in a long time like what is about to come in the next 6/12 months
