Bioshock Infinite Benchmark GPU

Nope, I don't know AMD's been up to for the past few weeks. Been pretty quiet on the driver front, hoping some big stuff are gonna come out.

Seriously ?
Optimized for AMD: BioShock Infinite launches | Game Blog

Today we at AMD are pleased to welcome the worldwide launch of the much-anticipated BioShock Infinite! We’re excited for a couple reasons: it’s the first DirectX® 11 game in the BioShock series, its performance is optimized for AMD Radeon™ GPUs, and that ever-so-famous art direction is simply gorgeous.

THE GRAPHICS DRIVER OF CHOICE

A new game typically demands a new driver that includes the latest performance optimizations for the best experience. With BioShock Infinite, that driver is the AMD Catalyst™ 13.3 Beta 3 (or later) graphics driver. Any user running the AMD Radeon™ HD 5000 Series (or later) is encouraged to have this driver installed by both AMD and Irrational Games for the best performance and image quality!

NV is better on the driver side, thats why. Its not trolling or anything. Its a fact.

Because all these games are nothing else than buyouts. Crysis 3, Farcry 3, Bioshock 3 were in development over years. And all of these companies have a good relationship with nVidia.

And don't forget: All of these games showing Kepler's strength: Geometry performance and great DirectCompute performance.

So then from your words why would anyone bother with amd graphics cards ?

 

[notty22]

Performance crowns are always going to go back and forth. Having a 'good' driver does not always equal beating each other. Being able to play a game with expected performance is all we can ask for.

Money, money, money.

AMD is paying for their "Gaming Evolved" programm.

And, where does it mention bioshock in the release note?

What I am saying is that AMD still has work to do for the game. They haven't release a performance driver aimed at bioshock yet.

Meh, not by much. If you look at bf3, sleeping dogs, hitman, tomb raider, you can say AMD is better. They just take a while

bf3? Are you serious? lmao thats hilarious. It took how long for amd to even catch up in bf3?

Tomb raider? looks better for nv to me http://www.hardocp.com/article/2013...deo_card_performance_iq_review/5#.UVs9l1f69RE

sleeping dogs and hitman are realistically the only 2 noteworthy titles that excel on amd hardware and even hitman has evened out

 

[willomz]

And that's before we even look at crossfire, that's a total joke in both BF3 and TR.

Yup, im very interested in selling my 670 ftw and buying 2 660s but i might hold off on that until next generation when hopefully the 760s will have 3gb of memory

So you don't know whether or not if AMD has already "optimized" their drivers for Bioshock Infinite then? It's sound to reason that since the title is a part of AMD's gaming evolved program, they have had access to helping the developers optimize for radeon graphics for some time now.

I think you're hoping for something that may or may not happen. Good luck with that.

And out of that, only Sleeping Dogs performs noticeably better on AMD hardware and only when enabling the frame rate destroying extreme AA setting that neither high end cards from either vendor can run smoothly at 1080p or higher. In fact, the only two games released lately that excel on AMD hardware is Sleeping Dogs and Dirt Showdown. Everything else either falls right in line with expectations (7970GE 5-10% faster than gtx680) OR Nvidia is ahead. And that goes for Crysis 3, Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinite, and the one of the titles you claimed to - Hitman. Nvidia outperforms on Crysis 3, Bioshock, and Tomb Raider, ties in Far Cry 3, and falls 5-10% behind in Hitman (recent drivers haven't been benchmarked but are said to show improvement). Other demanding games of recent, like Planetside 2, Hawken, or Guild Wars 2 perform better on Nvidia.

"Ken Levine and Chris Kline from Irrational Games talked about how they added contact-hardening shadows, HDAO, and multi-monitor support to BioShock Infinite with the assistance of AMD."

Kinda stupid. AMD should be playing hardball like nvidia does and they aren't. Locking out features, etc.

Can't tell if serious, but I kind of agree. While I think "locking out" features (like AA) is dumb, creating exclusive features would be fighting fire with fire. If AMD had made tressfx exclusive to AMD cards, I would have thought it was both a smart move and fair play.

 

[blackened23]

I thought about it a bit, and i'm definitely serious. AMD are just playing the nice guys "who let everyone play games equally".

AMD has practically all of their major publishers in their hand due to next gen consoles and won't take advantage of it. Being the "nice guys" who let everyone have features they implemented. They put eyefinity in all of these titles but allows nvidia surround as well. Why is this? Prior nvidia surround titles definitely excluded eyefinity. AMD style HDAO. Etc. If it were nvidia they could be exclusive, but AMD are the nice guys. They could bring the pain if they played hardball, unfortunately it's just another case of incompetent management at AMD I guess.

 

[BallaTheFeared]

AMD is the lowest common denominator in both their respective major fields, they're in no position to lock out 65% of the discrete gpu market, or 75% of the cpu market.

The guy who does the hybrid physx patch said PhysX 3.0 is fast enough on modern CPU's, though I'm not sure if he means accelerated included or not, but he doesn't seem to keen on figuring out how to get it to work with 3.0+ PhysX, or even hassle with Hawken (2.8).

Anyways, what kind of vram usage are people seeing with this title?

Highest I've seen so far at 1080p is 2293MB

 

[james1701]

I don't think incompetent management, I think AMD has always had the gamer's interest in mind from the very beginning.

When Nvidia had the Batman AA controversy, they came out and said anyone can have Physx as long as the card manufacturer pays for including support for it. AMD as far as I know has always came out and said they had the gamer's interest ahead of profit and thought it was wrong and had no intentions of doing that.

This is not something new to them. It's been going on for years, and my hats off to AMD for sticking to their guns for it. I just wish the driver team was a little faster sometimes.

Are you guys for real?

Are you seriously applauding efforts that would tear the PC market in half? The PC market having taken the damage that it has already from consoles is not enough for you I guess?

And nVidia is doing the same. So what?

Nvidia is making games better for Nvidia users? Yeah sounds about right, like vendor locks on AA.

Ah, you mean that "better". I guess nVidia users had and have so much fun with Tomb Raider. :hmm:

Actually, that'd be an opinion, not a fact.
