THE GIMPING BEGINS

>>55472966
Who cares? I sold my 980 Ti and bought a 1080 anyway. Unlike AYYMDPOORFAGS, Nvidia users can actually afford a graphics card purchase once a year. Ironically Maxwell "gimping" will likely affect former AYYMD owners more than Nvidia users, since they'll be the ones buying up these cheap used Maxwell cards to try and get away from their poorfag housefires.

excellent goy

>>55472966
Maxwell already has a implementation of async in drivers, and now Microsoft is fixing amds shitty drivers.

By the time dx12 is actually being used in AAA titles it'll be time to upgrade your card again anyways.

>>55473302
You're retarded. Asychronous compute is something that needs to be implemented at a game level, not a driver level.

>>55473344
>By the time dx12 is actually being used in AAA titles

You mean like literally right now, an example of which can be found in the OP?

>>55473400
It's literally not being used in any titles that anyone gives a shit about and won't be for years, m8.

>>55473086
why would I buy a GPU every year?

waste of money

>>55473429
>It's literally not being used in any titles that anyone gives a shit about and won't be for years, m8.
Yeah because no one has ever heard of this tomb raider thing and AotS certainly didn't reach the top sellers list for steam and isn't actively played by around eighty thousand players according to steam.

>>55473523
>casual games that nobody gives a fuck about

Where are the MMOs and competitive e-sports titles?

>>55472966
what's funny is that they make their GPUs reliant entirely on their drivers

so if you stop updating them to avoid the gimping your GPU will perform even worse!

While this is true it has no bearing on the main point of the other anon. DX12 games are here now and the performance boost gained from async compute is not now available to Maxwell cards.

>>55472966
Do Pascal GPUs have async compute support?

>>55474141
They don't even support DX12 or Vulkan, why would they bother?

>>55474141
Yes, Maxwell however cant do it at a hardware level.

>>55472966
New benchmarks where?

Good goy

pretty sure only reviewers played this one.

>>55473523
Aots looks like shit. Whatever its doing with dx12 isn't worth it if the game looks worse than games that are 5 years old.

>>55473435
>>55473618
stay on top of technology you fucking poor fags

>>55474270
Nvidia don't sponsor games that they don't expect to shift a lot of units.

>>55474270
I'd play it if those jews would actually lower the price. 8 month old console game still 59.99 on steam.

>>55474303
why would i want that

besides technology dont advance at all in 1 year

>>55474293
>Game has been praised for great looks, especially for an RTS
>Anon says it looks like shit
Yeah, you're right. All those reviewer types looking at games for a living have no idea what they're talking about.

I'm willing to bet that it's the art style and landscape you have a gripe with, not the actual way anything is rendered. Not sure you'd be able to articulate it though.

>>55474449
No shit it's the art style, they are just stacking gpu raping effects on a game with art direction so bad that it would qualify as a modern art masterpiece.
What's the fucking point?

Also unit movement looked cheap as fuck. It's like gfx is all they care about.

>>55474303
Why not wait until your graphics card can't play the latest game? Instead of frantically purchasing a new piece of hardware every year. All because you can't stand the thought that something out there is better even if it's unnecesary. Sounds like you have overcompensation issues

>>55473086
>AMD users

Does it allow shared AMD and Nvidia or is is CF/SLI only?

>>55472966

We've known for a long time it doesn't support A-sync

I don't think you could've memed harder even if you tried.

Not just that, he's also using it to shit on async compute as well. His logic is flawless, no?

>>55473538
>Where are the MMOs and competitive e-sports titles?

These games are marketed to the lowest common denominator of users, aka laptop users. A lot of them even still use DX9.

>>55475198
Exactly.

>>55475110
Yet Nvidia and their legion of idiot fanboys claimed that it can, and would be enabled via a driver update.

>>55473086
Please stop posting sir.

>>55473913
So? I'll still be able to play most titles in my 980 at decent framerates. I don't give a shit if a R9 290 is 12910390% faster.

>>55472966

and star citizen also in some months will make quite the heavy usage of it...

but ok i get it for nvidiots every dx12 game is"benchmark"

>>55473086
so what you are saying is
amd users will actually buy a crippled card and not one that will actually make them able to play decent games?

is that the new line of defence of nvidia?

>>55474629
Lol that's just because you are a poor AYLMAD user. Probably also a brony. Unlike you I can afford a new GPU each generation. I will also be upgrading my gfs computer to a NVIDIA GTX 1070™ this week. Stay mad and poor :D.

>>55475145
>>55475194
I'm not shitting on a GPU vendor or async compute you retarded fanboy, I'm shitting on a game.
Can't you read? I don't even know what the point of async compute is, because nothing tangible is resulting from it.

>>55474187
yes it can, it just can't reallocate sm's until all kernels are finished executing

>>55475683
Nothing "tangible" results from anything graphic card related. None of the pictures they generate are real.

>>55476020

That article is ancient and makes no mention of Pascal.

>>55476088
pascal is just a die shrink of maxwell you think they added a hardware sc to handle all the async usage? (async timewarp/async compute)
no ofc not otherwise we would have seen a lot of increase on their tdp

Why would you get 1080 over 980Ti??

>>55473538
Dota 2 uses Vulkan.

i don't get this shit, who needs 4k anyways, an rx480 can do 1080-1440p anyways and thats enough for 99% of people, no wonder the 480 is the best selling card on amazon right now (on UK atleast)

>>55473523
more like eighty players
seventy of whom are only using it as a benchmark

480 can't do 1440p. Maybe on medium settings.

>>55473086
You probably should. 1080 doesnt have hardware async compute.

>>55480243
The Xbone doesn't even reach native 1080p or 30fps in most games. It's usually 900p and a silky-smooth 20-30fps. Battlefield 1 is fucking 720p.

It probably can if you just turn off AA, you don't need it at 1440p anyway.

12,342 players is closer to 80 than it is to 80,000

nice memes though

>>55480611
buy AMD right now!
if you like that one game that they keep shilling about because it's shit at literally every other thing in the universe and crossfire doesn't even work half the time on anything new out so you have to wait for pajeets to make drivers that don't kill your cards or mobo or both.

>>55472966
Reminder, they delayed the async compute because of nvidia partnership contract.

This is nvidia's way of doing things with DX12 since they can't compete, they will make DX12 performance irrevelant by making their partners either not release async compute or release them months to years later that no reviewers or buyers will take into account.

>>55480830
>they can't compete
but they are competing, AMD can have all the Microsoft first party shovelware and indie garbage victories they want. While Nvidia will dominate everything else.

>>55480859
You'll have to ask yourself "will nvidia promote any dx12 games?"

The answer and the execution will reflect their mindset/strategy.

>>55480830
Remember how AMDerps declared victory once all consoles were confirmed to be using AMD hardware?
Yeah they crowed on and on about how everything was going to be optimized for AMD for the whole of the console generation.

But then it didn't and Nvidia still shit on them at every level. Then they moved on to DX 12 and how Nvidia has a conspiracy to stop it's implementation.

makes u tink.

>>55480899
Only with nvidia partnered console ports.

Those ports magically removing async compute and making games run horrible for all systems (yes even nvidia cards).

>>55480886
>any DX 12 games
They probably will if there are any worth playing. So not in the next 2-3 years considering there's literally nothing on the horizon even remotely being built on DX 12.

Adoption is always slow because consoles aren't going to support DX 12 at least not this generation. Microsoft basically dropped Scorpio as a hint that the Xbone isn't long for the world and the PS4 is never going to use the API anyway.
Do you think devs are going to be stupid enough to ignore a market of 50+ million consoles just to satisfy some AMDumbs?

>>55480934
>nvidia partnered console ports
There are no console games right now that use async compute at any level. Microsoft is the shit eater of this generation. All they get is shoddy PS4 ports running at DX 11.

Yeah if you put jetfuel into your car it probably will run really fast for about 10 seconds too.

>>55473344
BF1 comes out in 2 or 3 months after that DX12 will be all over.

i keep seeing these pretty colored AMD graphs telling me performance will improve but my R7 260x isn't getting any better, you would think drivers getting better would improve the lower end the most since the high end is already pretty powerful but no

>>55481321
The 260X is just a rebrand of the 7790 from early 2013. I'd say every last drop of performance has already been squeezed out of it, anon. It is a GCN 1.1 card though, so it does support async compute and will get a boost in RotTR from this patch. Although it'll still run like shit on that card and the game itself is trash, so...
