The importance of drivers...

Could it be that AMD is going to stop supporting older GCN arch's and focus more on Polaris and Vega?

Did these guys use the AMD drivers that came out YESTERDAY that support this game?

Edit: Found the system page. They did. Really odd to see the FuryX where it's at in 1080p. Pulls away at higher res and even beats/ties the 1070 at 4k though.
 
1080p results are CPU-bound. Look at the Titan XP results. Same FPS @ 1080p and 1440p. You have to look at the 1440p numbers to get any idea of GPU-scaling in this game. Fury is faster than 480 @ 1440p, albeit not by as much as you might expect. Definitely points to driver optimization.

Game has a 125 fps cap.
 
Still crazy to see the 4GB fury X beating a 12GB Titan XM @ 4k. I believe everyone said the fury X will fail because of its 4GB of ram and would not work well in 4k and in future games. :bleh: :lol:

combined effort of better driver and a better tech with Polaris.
480 improved dx11 and did show amd did things right this round with the design to go after the low end 480 crowd instead of fighting the 1080.
Vega comes and if it beats the 1080 suddenly amd have a great year.

Maxwell gets slower with every new driver just like Kepler before it :evil:

:runaway:
 
And 1440 and 4K... They are just about equal.

No one would have guessed this just 2 months ago.

Except that's not true. Go select the 1440p and 4k selections from the drop down list.

1440p:
390x: 56.0, 59.1
480: 55.0, 58.0

3840x1440:
390x: 37.2, 35.0
480: 36.3, 34.0

You're probably looking at the *regular* 390 FPS in those later charts, which does indeed score a bit lower.
 
Since what you said was:



And that is what I responded to...

No.

No it is not, you quote my post. Read the post you quoted...

2 months ago, no one would assume a 480 would reach a 390X in performance.
Here it is.
Why? Because of driver, and game, optimization, which confirms the forward looking value of Polaris.

K buddy. I directly quoted you twice now. You said "480 faster than 390x" and responded to said comment with information directly from the source *you* cited showing how that is NOT the case.

There's nothing more to say.

?

This whole thread is about how Polaris performance improved significantly with drivers and in this case, game optimization.

480 beats 390X at 1080P and equals it at 1440P and 4K.

Indeed there is nothing more to say :lol:
