Here is the confusing bit about what AMD is doing , AMD has a good relationship with Oxide (they did help with Mantle) so someone in AMD thinks of pushing the agenda of DX12 which is of course something AMD would benefit from their cards are good their drivers are good , nothing wrong with that right?
But in reality there is only one DX12 game "out" and from a consumers point of view why would they "invest" into DX12 now , no games just an Alpha/Beta. At this point in time it is hardly relevant to push a single game to prove DX12 superiority from AMD. They might win back some folks with these benchmarks but will this work for AMD in the long run as soon as someone in AMD management declares a yes they will keep doing this and that is not beneficial in the long run because of the point that Kyle makes, creating demo's to prove superiority is not something that will make people happy if their retail game does not perform the same way, you do not buy a videocard or game just because your hardware does well with it on benchmarks ...
Btw from Oxide point of view , any press is good press
