Depends on reviewMost recent bench review:
But the most recent VLIW4 released more than 4 years ago (HD6990).AMD also don't focus on the old VLIW design. They are both focusing on the newest base GPU-arch ... Maxwell and GCN.

Well AMD provides some useful data for Kepler optimization. If you want to know what optimization solutions are fits for Kepler, just ask AMD. They not advertising it, but they will help. In this case the devs can make some optimization decisions not just for Maxwell and GCN, but for Kepler also. Nvidia now don't really care about Kepler. There is Maxwell and it's time to buy a new card.
This is important because Maxwell and GCN are not radically different, but Kepler is. It need some special care because it don't have enough registers to feed all CUDA cores, and also one SMX has four schedulers and each scheduler can handle 32 threads (for WARP size). From this you can get only 128 threads in an SMX, so only 128 CUDA cores can be used. It will need some optimization to find some independent instructions in order to utilize all the 192 CUDA cores. So in the end Kepler need some special optimization and the driver have to use a very good register allocation strategy to utilize all CUDA cores. But Nvidia don't care now, and this is why Kepler is bad in some TWIMTBP title.

While the most recent Kepler was released exactly a year ago (Titan Z) or 1 year and half ago (780 Ti)
From your source..Ultra: 40 - 50 FPS, dropping to near 30 in some conversations.
With Hairworks on.From your source..
Ultra: 40 - 50 FPS, dropping to near 30 in some conversations. Disabling HairWorks immediately adds 5-10 FPS, dropping shadows down to from ultra to high in addition gives smooth close-to-60 performance.
Pcgamerhardware reported that R9 290X was easily maintaining 45fps to 50fps at Ultra settings on 1440p.Yes and?
We dont know in what scene they test it.Its called benchmark for reason.Maybe they benchmark it in demanding scene...
Pcgameshardware is most trusted site.I dont trust anyone more than them.
The mainstream 960 launched 4 months ago, I think they're dumping kepler a bit early.
So, does anyone know if an Act of God has happened, and they have working Crossfire?
Same as console level graphics but more FPS.So looks like for my older 7950OC to run this game ok, I need to have AA off, and shadows turned down. Well and no GW settings on obviously.
Hopefully today somebody will do benches on "High" settings rather than just ultra.
The shots came in 2,560 × 1,440 with Ultra details, Hairworks is however not activated in these shots. We also dispensed with the Nachschärfe filter, Chromatic aberration and motion blur. All remaining settings are set at the maximum level. Was used a Core i7-5820K @ 4.2 GHz, 16 GiByte DDR4-2600 RAM and a Sapphire R9 290X Tri-X @ 1,125 / 3,200 MHz. With this setup, the frame rates of being beaten even without Day-1 patch version were to greatest parts to 50 fps. Under high load, for example when galloping through the most densely populated areas in the villages or in the forest, they fell well short times to just above 40th

So it is definitely Added Shadows and AA is killing the performance.

Meh. Especially hairworks is underwhelming. All it adds is volume to fur and a little movement.
I'd be perfectly fine with hairworks off. The destruction is welcome. The cloth physics are the most natural implementation in the game
actually I take that bit about the cloth back. It seems to freak out when characters interact with it. In one scene at least where there shouldnt be win it was acting possessed
At launch, Titan was 50% faster than 7970. I can only shake my head at these antics. So maybe nVidia was right. Gameworks doesn't lower performance of AMD cards, it's lowers performance of their own cards. AMD has really nothing to worry about.
titan, 780, 780 ti not too far off from 7970/280x?
:biggrin: Oh man sucks to be those guys.
You know it totally looks like CDPR purposely made non-hairworks hair look worse than it could have. There is no reason colors and such should be different between them.
