I just answered a similar comment before you. read my previous comment. I will edit my first comment to not cause anymore misunderstanding.

My comment was about people criticizing only Nvidia in the comment section. the article was great at calling out Vega 64 as as being a bad choice.

Great article but in the comment section nobody want to mention the vega 64 and how overpriced and crappy that card is. Vega 64 was supposed to shine through Vulkan or DX12 or some magical fine wine drivers. some may even got fooled by these promises. I guess it's only cool if we trash Nvidia...

Great article but at page 16, you mentioned "Farcry 5 doesn't seem to be as demanding as Far Cry 4 was". if Farcry 4 has better Average and minimum frame rate on all three cards then how it is more demanding compare to Farcry 5??? Farcry 4 both looks better and runs better but people still...

Farcry 5 looks really dated. the game world is so dead that I can't get immersed in it and even performance is not that good for me. Farcry 4 looks much better and runs much better on my PC even with all the gameworks enabled.

Yeah, Vega is really a disaster for AMD. It has absolutely no strong point against the competition. price, power consumption, performance, overclock headroom, release date, production cost, availability are all at disadvantage for this GPU compare to GTX 1080 and if I'm not wrong it's the most...

There is a performance test of GTX 1080 and 980ti with this new driver on Anandtech.

It's really shocking that this card at Max OC consumes 55 watt more power than Max OC Asus ROG GTX 1080 strix which has double performance of this card!!! I wonder how it can be possible for a card to be this bad in power efficiency...

It would be really interesting to see 980ti vs Furyx or 970 vs 390 comparisons in your performance reviews. nowadays It's almost impossible to talk about Nvidia without somebody mentioning how bad Nvidia's GPUs age or how Nvidia gimp their older GPUs by not optimizing for them to force people to...

That benchmark is more than 2 years old. now Battlefield 4 runs far better on DX11. Direct3D 11 vs. Mantle - Battlefield Hardline Performance Video Card Review Battlefield 4 - AMD Radeon R9 Fury X Video Card Review Remember AMD invested millions of dollars to implement mantle on frostbite 3...

I guess the only way to show people low level APIs don't work with PCs is to wait a few years. time will prove that.

Now Mantle runs worse than DX11 on all AMD GPUs including 290x. low level APIs need long time support from developers. do you really believe developers will support their games years after release?

Play battlefield 4 with both DX11 and mantle then come back and tell me what gave you the better performance. Low level APIs are not suitable for PC gaming and battlefield 4 with mantle is another example to prove that.

Another disappointing result from DX12. The Problem is, low level APIs push too much work onto developers, not only you have to optimize for each GPU variant from each GPU vendor but you have to manage VRAM yourself and It requires immense investment and no developer can afford to spend such...

True, DX was the solution to solve low level APIs problems.

The problem is even if it would be possible to optimize for both Nvidia and AMD, developers won't have/put time and money to optimize for all available architectures. in addition unlike DX11, optimization in DX12 is mostly on developers, once developers optimized their game for a specific...

You are right. DX12 can be programmed closed to metal, but closed to metal based on what hardware, AMD or Nvidia? that's dependent on who support the developer(pays them). I think in the future we will see gameworks titles have relatively better performance on Nvidia hardware and vice versa. In...

These screenshots are not 1440p, each image is one quarter of a 1440p, however I can clearly see difference between them in those small images so I can imagine difference is much more noticeable in a 4k display and in motion. Do you know in the Witcher 3 tessellation level is adjustable in...

If AMD is secretly limiting tessellation in their drivers then it would be unfair to benchmark any game that use tessellation. The problem is benching these games won't show apple to apple comparison between AMD and NVIDIA GPUs. These benchmarks are showing AMD is better at tessellation and as a...

I noticed in Rise of the Tomb Raider graphics performance review, enabling Tessellation on AMD GPUs didn't make a difference in performance. I wonder if AMD is cheating by limiting tessellation in the driver. Can Hardocp test if there is any difference in visual quality between AMD and Nvidia...
