people over reacted to God Rays being a performance killer it's Shadow Distance that has much more impact on FPS imo Fallout 4 is a very strange game engine I've had instances in Sanctuary where my framerate goes below 40 FPS, but when I go out exploring and eventually return to Sanctuary...

a lot probably depends on the manufacturer for example, MSI 3XX cards tend to consume a lot more power than other manufacturer 3XX cards

just set a framerate cap to avoid the game engine freaking out

try seeing if Herald of Thunder helps

demo issue

not familiar with AMD GPUs? it's called PowerTune and it's because if you're playing FO4 with capped 60 FPS, then the AMD GPU down clocks because it's running out of stuff to do due to 60 FPS cap. here's my R9 290 GPU load when idling in doors in FO4. GPU load goes to 0% a lot.

if you have a freesync monitor if you really don't like Nvidia if you strongly believe in AMD DX12 if you strongly believe in AMD continuing to improve driver performance while Nvidia driver improvements will stop once they start focusing on their latest & greatest architecture otherwise...

possibly better binning resulting in more aggressive / non-aggressive clocks difference in HSF used performance difference between 390 & 390X tends to be around 5-10% https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Powercolor/R9_390_PCS_Plus/30.html

your monitor connected via HDMI? http://www.pcgamer.com/nvidia-cards-dont-full-rgb-color-through-hdmiheres-a-fix/

if we're looking at a 4-5 year outlook, I'd wait for the next gen of GPUs otherwise, would go for 390X due to DX12 & 8GB VRAM

eh CS:GO is the #1 played FPS nowadays in NA/EU

Techspot showing a big difference between DDR4-1333 and DDR4-2400 with an i7 4770k http://www.techspot.com/review/1089-fallout-4-benchmarks/page6.html

correct me if I'm wrong, if RAM speed actually affects performance, shouldn't the slow RAM speed FPS eventually match up with the fast RAM speed FPS if you stay in a static position or is wccftech experiencing a memory leak?

unless FO4 ends up being a horrible PC port, a 290 should be fine

http://www.pcinvasion.com/nvidia-353-06-drivers-released-witcher-3-boost-for-kepler-cards/ Either Anno 2205 developers made the game with only Maxwell in mind or Nvidia just focused their drivers on Maxwell and may or may not release a driver update to boost Kepler performance in Anno 2205

I'm primarily going off of the CPU scaling graph in http://www.computerbase.de/2015-11/anno-2205-benchmarks/2/#diagramm-anno-2205-1920-1080 980Ti CPU scales Fury X does not if they did the same CPU scale test with a Kepler card and showed no scaling, then I'd guess the issue is CPU...

more likely to do with AMD drivers CPU limiting performance

don't know why they're not labeling the use of AA in their latest review, but I'm pretty sure TPU is still using AA or maintaining the same test settings http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/R9_Nano/9.html http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/GTX_980_Ti_Lightning/7.html Comparing BF3 &...

game has project creep written all over it

Firestorm has been pretty fun for me

someone on reddit talked about the differences between GDDR5 & HBM in terms of how to feed data to the GPU https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/3b6n1c/absolutely_nobody_is_talking_about_fury_x_and/ I'm inclined to think it's a driver issue and AMD has a lot of work to still do in optimizing...

AMD drivers have more CPU overhead than Nvidia's drivers

AMD might have expected 20nm to be viable for GPU production and expected that DDR5 speed would become a limiting factor and decided to target HBM

don't know about it being 100% Tonga Fury X has pretty similar fill rate to Hawaii 285 Tonga with its 32 ROPs beats Hawaii with its 64 ROPs here

if the games they are benching don't have a built in benchmark, then the review sites end up doing their own in-game bench methodology which can wildly vary between different sites

unless stock Fury X has a sizable performance advantage (+10%) over stock 980Ti I think OCed 980Ti is going to have the higher ceiling over OCed Fury X

4K GTA 5 is going to test whether 4GB HBM is really enough or whether it doesn't matter because there isn't enough GPU power at least with single GPU http://pclab.pl/art64437-22.html R9 39X doesn't have enough GPU power for 4K GTA5 but it has almost double the minimum framerate because the...

he's recommending buying a temporarily discounted 980Ti @ 500 pound when the next cheapest 980Ti is @ 540 pound and thinks vendors are going to sell Fury @ 600 pound when it first gets released even though MSRP is supposed to be 549 pound GTX 980Ti obviously becomes a better buy if there's a...

had that initially when trying to install a R9 290 PCS+ where it was black screen from boot to Windows while the fans were spinning tried the video card on an older PC & mobo and it booted up fine went back to the current PC and solution was to make sure the PCIe power cables were plugged in 100%

they complained about not getting a review sample from AMD for R9 3XX, but it's because AMD left it up to AIBs to send out review samples & PCPer ended getting one and doing a review so PCPer jumped the gun on their complaining legitreviews also jumped the gun with complaining and they also...

a game can have 3.5GB+ of VRAM usage on a R9 290, yet a 780TI with 3GB VRAM can still outperform it with higher minimums the answer is the game is caching more VRAM than it actually needs to make use of

300 review samples are up to the AIBs to send out. AMD isn't controlling that. apparently, AMD does have control over Fury samples though.

AMD sure picks some specific graphic settings not sure if I should read too much into AMD choosing to do an OC comparison by only +100 Mhz over stock

not sure if I missed it but would have liked to have seen OC #s unless they have the most golden of chips, 1 reviewer says they OCed to 1.2Ghz core with their R9 390X. with R9 290X, 1.2Ghz overclocks is left to users who don't mind having nuclear reactors in their PC and quickly decreasing the...
