Now seriously, you're the most clueless guy I've ever talked to. What's the novelty on it? We had this 15 years ago with Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver on the PSX.
And how many chapters does LoK Soul Reaver have? The Witcher 3 will have no chapters or artificial breaks or transitions..
Also, to even bring up a game like LoK Soul Reaver in the context of the discussion we're having (which is about the worth of DX11) is ridiculous, as the Witcher 3 has orders of magnitude more graphical fidelity and complexity
Much maths? 50% ahead in a 7970Ghz vs GTX 780 which is already 20% faster overall? If we push the 7970Ghz a 20% to normalize things the GTX 780 would be 22% faster.
Yeah, cause testing stock vs overclocked makes a lot of sense.
Anyway the fair comparison is the 7970Ghz vs the GTX 770 which is 15% faster.
It doesn't matter. The whole point of me bringing that up, was to show you how DX11 multithreading reduces CPU bottlenecks. The best card to show you that was the fastest card of the bunch, as it was the
most CPU bottlenecked..
I guess that flew over your head though..
If we compare the GTX 780 to the R9 290(nonX) the advantage shrinks to
9%.
As you can see, the benchmark itself is limited to a certain frame rate. The Titan had a lower frame rate than the GTX 780..
That's probably why Anandtech retired the benchmark, because contemporary cards are just too fast.
So much for that glorious DX MT.
That's OK. NVidia pummeled the living daylights out of AMD in Civilization 5 for how many years now thanks to DX11 multithreading :whiste:
You're talking like that game is finished or was finished almost a year ago when that vid was taken. Again no biggie, those Splinter Cell games prove it.
Who cares if it's finished or not. The game supports DCL, something which AMD does not have, and likely will never have at the rate they're going since they're dumping all of their resources into Mantle..
The sole reason for that 55% deficit in performance was DCL.. If anything, the gap will likely widen when the game is finished due to more powerful hardware, and more optimized drivers.
I'd wait for Mantle reviews, then we talk about who's living in the past.
Well Mantle reviews are here, and according to PClabs.pl, NVidia was still faster :awe:
