Is this just a matter of crappy Nvidia DX12 drivers and is repeatable with Intel CPU or is there something more ominous going on, as in Nvidia specifically not playing nice with Ryzen CPU?
Kinda boggles my mind why anyone would be an Intel fanboy. Fanboy of what exactly, extortion pricing? For what reason? Are they jealous that 8 cores are becoming mainstream and not just for elite few?
Obviously if you limit VRAM size to 2GB (as they did in the demo) HBC looks like an awesome thing. Honestly though, most games are not VRAM limited at the more usual 4GB and even less so at todays standard 8GB.
It does open a few possibilities though. GPUs with no need for more than 4-8GB. So...
Some games scale better past 4-6 cores, some worse. Most modern games will likely scale better. Clocks are the same.
But most people don't buy CPUs just for gaming you know. In other better threaded loads 6800K is no match for 1700X.
Yes, happened to me. It's a rebound effect. Your histamine receptors get very sensitive when you block histamine production. You have to gradually reduce the dose. Fist half tablet for a while, then quarter and so on.
I agree with you. The problem I and from what I understand others have is what exactly is the objective of TimeSpy benchmark and it's AC implementation. If the objective is to test hardware ability to execute graphics and compute queues concurrently and in parallel fashion, then it obviously...
Don't even know how you would offload anything to the CPU. It would be ridiculously slow.
It just means there is no measurable impact on the CPU for whatever driver sorcery Nvidia is doing.
Exactly, most of the work is already done on consoles. So all this nonsense about poor devs having to work with thin APIs is ridiculous. Console APIs are even thinner
What AMD needs to do now and looks like that's exactly what they are pushing for is make porting from consoles to PC as easy and...
I'm sure you get a small boost it's just that you likely don't need it in a game where you already get close to 200 FPS. You really don't get your moneys worth back.
I thought Nvidia is scraping 3GB version? Who in their right mind would release a 3GB card at this level of performance? It will get destroyed in any game that uses more than 3GB.
True. But you wouldn't call AAA title devs hobbyists, would you? That's where thin APIs are primarily aimed at, because they push graphics/performance envelopes.
I don't believe in any hype. I know exactly what to expect from a $200 GPU. What offends me is people like you shitting on a mainstream GPU for the sole reason it's mainstream.
Why is it even relevant how AMD got the driver?! This was the 1st thing that Nvidia guy asked too.
What matters is:
1. how did this impact performance
2. what other games (if any) are also impacted but went by unnoticed by reviewers
It may very well be just a visual thing that's not impacting...
I think AMDs problem recently was exactly the opposite. They focused too much on the high end and neglected the mainstream and mobile. Consequently got raped by 960 and 970 and pushed out of mobile. That's where all that volume, marketshare and mindshare is.
I don't think they are abandoning high end at all, they are just refocusing on the mainstream, where most of the volume is. It's not the 980Ti that shifted the market share, it's the 960 and 970.
Don't forget GP100 is a DP monster compared to TitanX. Cut those out and you have a much more efficient and faster GPU. Pascal based GeForce will probably spank Tesla in single precision and consume less power.
