Based on the GPU designs, yep. GCN will always be better at async than Maxwell. Nvidia can perform some miracles with their drivers to alleviate it a little bit.is it still true that directx 12 will make amd cards faster and nvidia current generation of cards are screwed?
Apparently async compute (which is what the only DX12 alpha game out there uses, which doesn't work well on Nvidia cards) is implemented in the current drivers only as a placeholder.
It looks like it is there, but it really isn't - which may explain the shit performance in that one game.
As always, time will tell. Patience (as frustrating as it is sometimes) is a virtue.
is slightly lower than DX11 really "shit performance" on early drivers and game builds

As for the real-world impact and the amount of AMD's advantage, remains to be seen.
DX12 IS supposed to perform better than DX11, yes?
It's all relative to the person who looks at the results. DX12 IS supposed to perform better than DX11, yes?
Game in the now, for you never will know what the future holds, you'll keep waiting, and find yourself without a graphics card perpetually waiting. Buy what is best now, buy what you can afford now. Upgrade again in the future, when you can.
