That was a game Ready driver for the demo I believe not for the full game, the demo is based on an old code from gamescom. maybe there is a new one for the full game?. Dirt 4 same phenomenon, it favors all AMD hardware not just Vega. besides, testing with MSAA makes Vega cards fall behind...

This has nothing to do with Vega wahtsoever, all AMD cards are considerably ahead, Vega, RX 580, R9 390.. Etc. Either this game prefers AMD hardware, or NV lacks some significant optimizations for this title. May I ask what other titles you refer to?

Once again, this further proves how limited DSRB is, with 30 % memory savings only 10% higher fps was achieved, which is a best case scenario here, the driver dont really need to have it active for all applications, as most of them will not benefit from it anyway. as mentioned here before only...

DSBR is already enabled, it was enabled in the marketing slides of Vege in an old driver batch, that driver has been released long time ago. We are already at a new driver batch. As for primitives I suggest we take whatever AMD told about them with a huge sack of salt, if they were even...

Because ultra settings are the maximum visual quality available in a game? it is why people buy powerful graphics cards to enjoy pretty graphics at good fps? because pretty graphics are the reason we stuff GPUs and CPUs full of silicon? because pretty graphics are the source of immersion in...

I think part of the reason people argued your post is that somehow you presented the results as a Vega advantage despite the myriad of problems in the comparison that definitely point to no Vega advantage: 1-Tesing with old drivers for nvidia 2-Testing with no Ultra settings 3-Having almost all...

This whole launch screams fiasco and diaster. Never before have we seen an official SKU hidden behind the wall of a bundle, liquid Vega can only be purchased through a very propitive bundle, despite not being a target of miners. its a niche card for enthusiasts and consumes more power for little...

Sandbagging? people need to stop hyping everything AMD does or says, maybe then they could have more realistic perspective of what AMD is capable of instead of myths like titan killer and unicorn drivers. the company is very careful regarding DSBR promises which means it is not going to amount...

DSBR is enabled for Vega FE in pro applications only in the current driver (17.20?).AMD posted a slide indicating performance uplift with it enabled vs disabled. Clearly it was a best case for them. The lack of similar slides for game workloads implies rather limited gains there. But I have read...

TressFX doesn't use tessellation, I merely inserted it in an anlogy. You can replace it with whatever effect you deem fit. I appreciate your clarification. I didn't mean to imply AMD's having a performance first policy. It just seems that -recently- they are sometimes less concerned about...

Interesting tidbit, but irrelevant to this discussion about quality. There are no games where NV suffer quality wise due to this shortcoming. Whether this is due to NV's own guidance, developer intervention or both, the final result is the same between AMD and NV. On contrary to AMD's faulty AF...

I was very specific in my statement. I started the comparison from the point of the introduction of unified shaders. Those events predate this starting point. What matters is this: in the past 7 years NV has been more keen on quality than AMD. AMD GPUs didn't exist until after the unified...

I am sorry but those of us with long term memory know better. Ever since the advent of unified shaders AMD has been slighly stumbling on the quality front. They introduced demotion in FP16 percision to the simpler R11G11B10 render to boost performance and slightly alter image quality. They also...
