Wolfenstien 2 Vulkan benchmarks:

[KillBoY_UK]

Properly turn out like Forza, no game ready driver on release and when it does drop gives a nice boost.

The important thing is everyone is getting good playable performance on day one

 

[EL_JOCK]

Runs like a dream with my 56 - only downside I now have to go to work:/ Could not find the API toggle though - is vulkan enabled by default for vega?

might be wrong but think its only Vulcan for this game,

Don't count all your chickens for they may not have hatched, just yet.

Not bad.

My advice to a few, don't count your chickens just yet, for they may not have hatched at this time.

 

[Gregster]

Don't read the Forza motorsport thread. 3rd wins.

LMFAO

So AMD is releasing another driver then?? Out of interest is FP16 actually enabled in the game and does Vega run it with the current drivers??

I don't know why anyone still uses nvidia when they are so slow with their game ready drivers.

 

[LtMatt]

I've got eggs on the brain i think.

Either way performance is excellent and it looks top quality also.. VULKAN API for the win, how can any developers turn away Vulkan when it's proven to provide excellent performance for the mass.

DirectX die already please

I don't know why anyone still uses nvidia when they are so slow with their game ready drivers.

Funny thing is you not wrong, Amd have been punished in the past for not having drivers ready on release. I bet if this becomes the norm for Nvidia they won't get anywhere near the same backlash amd users got.

Since amd released Crimson driver amd have been excellent releasing day one drivers.

 

[HEADRAT]

Last two played great on my FuryX at 1440p, can't see why this would be any different

 

[Bazzards]

To be honest, waiting a week, two weeks max is not an issue. However having to wait months is an issue.

Edit: Tbh, for me however its almost irrelevant as I don't generally purchase games on release.

At the end of the day all that matters is no matter the GPU you running the game performs well! For me Vulkan running better on Nvidia or Better on AMD is only part of the story.. I want Vulkan to be successful for bigger reasons than just GPU Brand Wars Vulkan APi is the only big API we have that can challenge Microsoft and push they to make Windows DirectX better.. Vulkan API also opens the door for more Operating systems IE Linux No longer tied to Microsoft for gaming.

+1

We need Vulkan to be great and so far it has been pretty good, Yes it's a shame if Wolfy 2 which is using the Vega specific tech doesn't get any sort of average fps boost from it but if the frame rates are acceptable anyway and the experience is a smooth game with no spiking minimums at your resolution it's a win, Turn your fps counters off and play your games.

GameGPU tested it and saw a win for AMD:

http://gamegpu.com/action-/-fps-/-tps/wolfenstein-ii-the-new-colossus-test-gpu-cpu









So in 4 areas tested,Vega64 seems to edge the GTX1080 in three of them and in two of them is close to a GTX1080TI. In one area it looses.

However,even the Polaris cards loose in that one area,so there is something going on which affects all the AMD cards.

I'm glad to see my Ryzen 1600x doing so well at stock, These results are exactly why I didn't spend the extra £200 on the 1800x. Most games won't take advantage of the extra 2 cores it has over the 6 cores on the 1600x so it's all down to core speed.

Gaming at 4k makes a new cpu next to not worth it for me, I had Ryzen but cancelled. I watched a guy on youtube put a 1080 into an old 750 i5 rig and the difference was around 5fps if that at 4k compared to newer CPU's so I completely changed my mind on it.

It'll depend on the type of game, There's plenty of games that lean on the cpu more than others so it's down to what games the individual plays.

VULKAN API for the win, how can any developers turn away Vulkan when it's proven to provide excellent performance for the mass.

Time and money, It takes a lot more resource and time to implement to the metal IP like Vulkan/DX12 well into a game over higher level API like OpenGL or DX11 especially with the PC's hardware fragmentation.

Most of the work in this case was already done id when they made iDtech6 and the original implementation. Sledgehammer probably only needed to do tweaks to there Vulkan pipeline if they made changes to that part of the engine and or add support for more resent hardware.

 

[LambChop]

It's no surprise the Ti wins, its a beast, but its good to see AMD not far behind.

I'm surprised at the Forza benchmarks, this would have to have been tweaked to perfection for xbox and the port to PC I would have thought would have ran better on AMD cards on PC.

Goes to show that with all the fancy tech, vulkan, favoured ports from xbox and the likes, AMD are still playing catchup.

 

[TheRealDeal]

From what I can tell you keep saying "I have a 1080" as though that means you can't be biased towards AMD or something.

I'm struggling to see how a card that is 2nd in the charts "wins"...

On price/performance. Most are using aircooled Vega which on here atm can be had for £470 with 2 games. If that's not a win i don't know what is when it's being compared to a card well over

LMFAO

I would say Vega looks heavily Cpu bottlenecked here. The 56 is seeing no loss of frame rate from doubling the pixels and the 64 ain't much better. It seems less on the Nvidia side but obviously still going on to some degree. From 1080p up to 4k Vega is only losing 18fps compared to the gtx1080's 47. Still solid performance all around even on the lower end cards.

Sounds like AMD took a page out of Nvidia's dirty tricks book and made sure Nvidia didn't get access so they could get a game ready driver out in time.

So it’s not the winning it’s the taking part that counts

Very true!

 

[DragonQ]

So are we ignoring the 1080Ti now because it doesn't fit the results we want?

I don't see how it's a win to AMD when there's an Nvidia card at the top of the graph.

"it has to cost between this much and this much, have 8GB of RAM and have 64 in the name somewhere or it doesn't count"

The only sensible way to compare cards is based on price, to say a £800 card beats a £500 card and therefore wins is just useless information. Granted, the liquid cooler version of Vega 64 is stupidly priced and it is valid to compare that to a GTX 1080 Ti, but the standard one can be had for GTX 1080 prices so that's where the comparison should be.
