Is this post true about Nvidia Cards not supporting DX12?

[ANewFace]

I saw this guy who is going all over YouTube and telling people not to get Nvida cards, saying they do not support DX12, and leaves this reddit post. https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/3j2wpj/x_post_rpcgaming_nvidia_gpus_do_not_support_dx12/

Is this true?

(I do not think this is true, but there are tons that do, someone actually read it)

they do.............

they do.

Its on the box...

So was 4gb on the 970

[Guest]

So was 4gb on the 970

it has 4GB of vram

your point?

[Arc_Jester]

They do it's just that they are missing some hardware features that would increase performance.

[Enderman]

So was 4gb on the 970

because it has 4GB of vram

Well that link is pretty accurate, but the question of your title? Yes NVIDIA supports DX12. But their Async compute performance is not good. This could simply be a driver bug though.

The 0.5 is still there its just slower than the 3.5

Nah it hardware related.

[xAcid9]

No it's not, just that their implementation is slower compare to GCN.

1 benchmark from an incomplete game.  Also nvidia is only very slightly behind and sometimes even with AMD in the benches, its just that AMD was so bad in dx11 that they gained a huge bump and cought up to nvidia.  Best to just wait and see more results and to see if nvidia has a solution.

No it's not, just that their implementation is slower compare to GCN.

again, GCN is extremely strong in compute, because PRE GCN (VLIW), Nvidia was once again harping on AMD for being shit at something. THis time it was compute. End result was that GCN was a compute heavy architecture. It is so good at it infact that a R9 290X (reference) has the exact same compute power as a reference GTX980Ti..... And the Fury X simply smokes anything Nvidia has made to date by a wide wide margin (Over 2.5TFLOPS higher performance).

So when you put GCN vs Maxwell in compute capable workloads (DX12) you start to see the result of Nvidia mocking AMD.

Same can be seen in SLI vs CF. 2.5 years back or so. Nvidia started mocking AMD for poor frame latency, microstuttering and scaling. Infact, Nvidia went as far as sponsoring/helping in the creation of a benchmark program JUST to prove that they were better then AMD (at that point in time, SLI and CF was still terrible in frame latency and stuttering. So it was mostly a battle of the lesser evil)

Net result was that AMD fixed its multi-gpu sync algorithm, they improved CF by dropping the obsolete CF bridge running the cards off the PCIe bus, which seems to have contributed to improving scaling a lot.

I cannot wait until Nvidia finds something else to use to "make fun of AMD". Because each time they do, AMD responds and improves to such a degree that Nvidia is the one lagging behind them. History has proven this.

Will the release of Ark on Friday settle the argument to some degree?

That wouldn't be any better than the few benchmarks done already. It will be a while before an accurate picture comes together!!!

[Arc_Jester]

No it's not, just that their implementation is slower compare to GCN.

Which means it's hardware related, Maxwell just doesn't have the compute power to keep up, AMD looked to the future with mantle and DX12 while Nvidia had nothing and tried to resort to underhanded tactics as usual.

[Praesi]

First time in Years AMD does something better than NVidia and all Hell brake lose. It will take easy another 12 Months bevore DX12 Games will reach our PC´s. Im sure NVidia will fix this.

[Jahramika]

To boot Nvidia tried to get DX12 developers to turn off the features they could not do on the hardware level so they did not look bad. Intel just paid AMD over shit like that worth over a Billion on X86 CPU's. Intel and Nvidia are equal to Hitlers propaganda.

In your guys opinion, how will both teams fare on graphics cards right now? I am planning to upgrade to 1440p paired with 980ti because it performs so well, but now AMD's current line up seems to have more value over time. Thoughts?

[don_svetlio]

They do but they don't support A-sync compute - the thing that boosts AMD's performance by about 30%

AMD always had more Value over time - the 7970 still fares well - being closer to the 780 than the 770 it was originally competing with - with DX12 it might just surpass it and reach the 970

Man, when you are in the market to get a graphics card, its already tough enough with all these situations lol
