Forza Apex 6

Ah ok, I think it holds off on major updates for 30 days so maybe you had an old ISO?



Use Dxtory (latest beta) - http://exkode.com/dxtory-downloads-en.html

Its free just makes you wait like 10-15 secs

Nice thanks

Does this suffer from the usual Win10 store crap like no exclusive full screen, 60fps cap and no gsync/freesync working ?

 

[Silverforce11]

Computebase said it's pretty good for UWP, which is something!

Also, game runs extremely well. 60 fps easy at 1440p maxed out on R290X. Graphics is good for the performance, a good port.

No idea about the FPS cap (I hear people say it goes as high as your display can), but the rest has yet to be patched/fixed on the UWP level.

 

[Silverforce11]

Not sure how GameGPU got those FPS, esp the min FPS. I've not had it drop below 59 fps, 1440p maxed.

Must be an error in their usage of FRAPS/MSI Afterburner 4.2 (no mention of PresentMon or Dxtory)..

Borderless windowed mode isn't bad like people keep claiming, just try it out. It works amazing in Win10 and acts like adaptive-vsync.

The game goes over 70fps as shown in the video in the OP.

They mentioned Action! which is another tool that apparently works with UWP but yeah the numbers don't make much sense having tested it myself. Maybe its the level they used since it has so many trees? I'm not there yet in the game so can't test that one but the first 3 are all excellent perf.

GameGpu tested in the MOST demanding race in the game = SPA + very heavy rain + outside view, it's one of the last missions, and man it cuts my fps by half compared to all the other races.

 

[thesmokingman]

Are there any edits/hacks for this game yet? I wanna edit my resolution to enable eyefinity but like it's all hidden away, so annoying!

My gtx960 4gb overclocked is = to a gtx780ti?

I played this game with high settings, it ran very nice.

 

[Zodiark1593]

These recent games make the 960 hold up not too terrible compared to Kepler. I half expected the 370 to match or beat it. The 970 definitely took a step back, though the difference in raw compute between the 960 and 970 isn't far off.

 

[RussianSensation]

WOW, Kepler is not just aging, it's literally pulling off FX5000 series DX9 performance in DX12 games. It's no longer a coincidence. Clearly, Kepler is just bombing now; perfect timing for Kepler owners to jump ship to Pascal 1070/1080 before the entire Kepler line is worth almost nothing. 280X matching the OG Titan, R9 290 destroying 780Ti easily, and R9 290X beating 780Ti at 1440p by 37% is just incredible. Even the 960 4GB is matching a 780 -- insane. Another trend I highlighted since January 2015 -- 2GB VRAM cards are dead. I hope people on AT stock recommending 2GB cards for gaming outright.

Hawaii was only a 438mm2 chip and 780Ti was a 561mm2 chip. Given their die size differences and performance under DX12, for modern DX12 games, it's like 9800Pro vs. FX5900. This game also seems to LOVE pixel fill-rate as 290X beats 7970 by 65% @ 1440p.

Over the last 6 months, Hawaii has easily proven that objectively R9 290X will go down as the FAR better gaming chip than 780Ti was. 980 beats 290X by just 1 fps at 1440p. Impressive, very impressive given that GCN continues to excel in basically every new DX12 game other than Rise of the Tomb Raider. Cannot wait to see the showdown of Pascal vs. Vega in 2017 to see the progress newer architectures make under DX12, given that well DX12 games are the future.

It's DX11 or DX12?

DX12, hence why Kepler isn't even on the map and even Maxwell is barely keeping up (i.e., 980 beats 290X by only 1 fps at 1440p). Yet another DX12 game where GCN shows its strength.

My gtx960 4gb overclocked is = to a gtx780ti?

I played this game with high settings, it ran very nice.

So in hindsight we can now safely say that HD7970/7970Ghz/R9 280X won the 680/770 generation and R9 290/290X won the 780/780Ti generation. No doubt about that anymore as far as objective performance goes for DX11/DX12 games overall and CF vs. SLI (7970Ghz/280X CF > 680/770 SLI, 290X CF > 780Ti SLI). Too bad most people picked the wrong horse over both of those generations.

What do you use to see the fps ??

DXtory. super simple to use

 

[tential]

I can't wait to see the 390x vs the 1080. Hawaii has legs, you never know...

I'm just waiting for games to go full throttle on DX12 and async shaders now that Nvidia has "improved async compute" with Pascal

I wouldnt be surprised if my 390X outright matches/beats a 1070 in certain games

Just played a game on SPA + very heavy rain + outside view and fps was the same as on clear day with R9 390 and Core i7 3770K@4.44GHz.

58 to 60 fps

edit: Ahh gamepgu.ru seems they used 8x MSAA .

Not going to happen, not even against the 1070 because the Titan X still beats 390X in every DX12 game. The crazy part is 780/780Ti owners now for sure have to upgrade as in every DX12 their performance is horrendous but an overclocked 290/290X keeps on trucking at 1080 and sometimes 1440p. That means Hawaii + OC owners can actually coast to 2017 HBM2 Vega and Big Pascal GPUs as long as this continues while 780/780Ti owners will have to settle for GP104. And people say there is no such thing as future-proofing. It's a double hit too since 780/780Ti cost $500-650/$700 respectively vs. $400 for a new 290.

But I want to upgrade!!!!! Gahhhh this card is too damn good for its own good

Join in and you will earn a nearly free Vega/Big Pascal upgrade by 1H of 2017. $50-55 a month x 10 months = $500-550 in profits + $125 reselling Hawaii = $625-675 towards HBM2 card. :thumbsup:

DX12 game adoption is happening a lot faster than many people predicted. Some of the upcoming games will be HUGE, some of the highly anticipated titles of 2016 such as Total War Warhammer, Deus Ex Mankind Divided.

Damn, 1440p 8x MSAA and a R290X ref is getting close to 60 FPS. This game engine is ace. Great visuals, great performance.

 

[itsmydamnation]

no wheel and no custom rez ( i play 3840x1024 ) just kill it for me right now. The second i can use both of those im all over this

 

[airfathaaaaa]

seriously its A BETA ffs they are just showcasing a very cut down version of forza to see if there is market for it in the future

 

[psolord]

So how do you benchmark this?

Action and Dxtory do not even show an OSD. Latest versions.

This is the most enjoyable racing game I've played on the pc, nice touch with the xbox one controller impulse triggers too, fist game I've seen it working on windows.
