Gears of War 4 Benchmark

[Carfax83]

I just noticed that GameGPU isn't using the NVidia release drivers for GoW4. That might skew the benchmarks somewhat..

 

[Carfax83]

That is better. Fury X at 980 Ti levels and the rest of the cards in a comparable range.

FYI, GameGPU isn't using the release drivers for GoW4 for NVidia.. They are using 372.90. Release drivers are 373.xx..

There's ony a 0.03% difference in the name between 373.02 and 372.90



Nvidia, fix your driver names! /rant

In short, Nvidia is taking a big lead against AMD's every counter part for Maxwell or Pascal mid range. However, Nvidia is still yet to release a game ready driver for Gears of War 4.

So much for the "common wisdom" that Pascal can't do DX12. Respectable showing from NVIDIA here.

 

[Alqoxzt]

Radeons still not much behind on ue4 even though this engine can be called nv's console. It is due to dx12.

To be fair, let's see how vega fairs, Amd might suck now but they have no high end card of this gen at the moment so pascal might seem more impressive than it is. Either way a good showing from nvidia.

Pascal has been out since May and Vega might not be here until June...2017.

Vega is irrelevant at the moment because Pascal is here and Vega isn't.

kinda bothered people are taking this crap seriously. Its an unreal engine game. It does not look good. Every time I see it, it looks like an older PC game. eg.

its just kinda improved in details, still comparable.

I'd be surprised if it actually did not turn out as expected.

it is good it seems to run well enough, that's always good. we all know this is mostly for nvidia cards. It's probably the most biased engine out there besides whatever turd they used in project cars. Which is thoroughly disgusting considering they make the engine for general use. A disservice to their customers.

Is any site doing async on off testing? That would be a bit more interesting.

Or that consoles being AMD based means an automatic win for for AMD.

Interesting that a Microsoft title runs better on the "other" companies' hardware, don't you think? Some of the rather more vehement AMD supporters have suddenly gone very quiet.

it's obviously not an automatic win. Many games have shown that. It does put AMD GPUs in a better position in general.

 

[happy medium]

interesting.

[ShintaiDK]

So AMD doing async better is also wrong?

 

[kraatus77]

Since when async only increases performance by 2-3% ? oh wait UE4 nvidia's poster child which is fully optimized for nvidia just like oxide was amd's. but as long as nvidia wins nothing matters. all those reasons like "optimized for one vendor, sponsored, bla bla" will be irrelevant now. 970 matching furyx says alot about which hardware this game likes and is optimized for.

This is going to be the most importantest dx12 game ever, just note it down.

 

[Glo.]

Whole point of DX12, and other low-level APIs is to lift CPU bottleneck from equation of performance of the GPUs.

In this game, GPUs are CPU bottlenecked. Make what you want from this.

Do you feel it should have a larger impact for this game? If so, why?

 

[Glo.]

Do you feel it should have a larger impact for this game? If so, why?

It depends on how much compute/graphics is in the pipeline. Here, we do not know the ratio.

Why don't you explain it to us further?

Does its job very well i think.

Unreal engine has always performed far better on Nvidia cards. In fact the gap in GoW4 is less than the usual 20% slower we see on previous Unreal engine titles. Anyway its good that even mid-range cards can play this game very well maxed out at 1080p.

Rx 470 on par with GTX 970 and 15% slower than 980/1060. This would put the Rx 480 on par with 1060/980. Thats a pretty respectable performance.

Another review showing 480 on par with 1060

For example performance of Fury X behaves exactly like in DX11 titles. Behind Nvidia GPUs in lower resolutions, starts to tie, or passes by them in higher ones(4K specifically).

We go from 40 FPS difference to just 7 FPS difference from 1440p to 4K resolution if we compare GTX 980 Ti and Fury X, according to GamersNexus numbers.

I think before we draw conclusions about particular brands, we should wait for proper drivers/patches to this game. From every side.

GameGPU is not using the game ready driver of gears of wars 4.

fine. but pcgamer did use the Nvidia Geforce 373.02 game ready driver for Gow4.

"We tested the game using a prerelease GeForce 373.02 driver, which are Game Ready for Gears of War 4. On AMD’s side, we used the most current Radeon driver, 16.9.2. As this article was being prepared for publication, AMD pinged me to say that new Radeon 16.10.1 drivers will be released “very shortly” with optimizations for Gears of War 4, Mafia III, and Shadow Warrior 2."

btw AMD's game ready drivers are coming soon.

pcgameshardware tested with Nvidia game ready driver. Rx 470 on par with GTX 970. Pretty much puts a Rx 480 on par with GTX 1060.

PChardware.de is the best for benchmark sources. I love how they present their benchmarks.
