Fanboy? That's fact. The GTX 980 is and always will be more powerful than the 290X, every benchmark has shown it.

Maybe, but only maybe it's because THE FUCKING 290X IS A GEN OLDER THAN THE 980.

Captn freaking obvious.

This "benchmark" is pretty stupid tbh.

you won't see this kind of a performance increase with a decent cpu and a "real" benchmark/game.

Well the 290x is going to be compared whether it's a gen behind or not because it's what AMD has out. Seems pretty silly to complain about that.

No its pretty silly to say "mimimi, nvidia is faster stronker betta" when they just released a new gen while we are still waiting on AMD. If nvidias new gen wouldnt be better i'd be very disappointed, everyone would be. Same goes with AMDs new cards.

the same thing would happen if AMD released their new cards first, we all know that so it seems silly to complain about that. They have to compare the 900 series to something and you can't compare it to something that doesn't yet exist in a retail space.

The 980 still outperforms the 290x in their test, just the 290x saw more of an improvement from DX12.

Which is what I mean, just because the 290x performed badly on DX11 and much better on DX12 in one scenario doesn't mean improvements across the board.

As Linus said, Star Swarm is made to overwhelm DX11 with too many drawcalls, in real-world scenarios (under that I mean actual games), the difference will only be a few percent.

From a generation gap of about 2 years, what on earth were you expecting?

They forgot the asterix. Up to 400%***

*In this one game that is just a showcase of how cpu bound games can be.

I am somebody who has been advocating for the new generation of APIs (Mantle, DX12, OpenGL Next).

But what an embarrasingly clickbait article and headline from that website. Just misleading people who don't understand... It's an edge case test scenario designed to be bottlenecked by draw calls in order to measure the effeciency of tha API...

Seriously. Me thinks clickbait needs to be deleted from the forum - consider it spam.

All I see is fanboyism

It is a disease that has plagued this world of computer parts with chaos and arguments.

Long time Linus fan with too many different forums to keep track of LTT's.

12 months on the models, but if they had done a 780Ti (same gen as the Radeon 200 series) then it still would have destroyed the 290x in this test.

 

This test isnt really Nvidia vs AMD, it showcases 1) The efficiency increase of DX12 over DX11, and 2) how badly optomised the AMD cards handle DX11 calls.

The 780Ti was not what the 290X was supposed to compete against (unless there was crosstalk between the companies), the 290 and the 290x were made to compete against the 680/770 and 780. The 780Ti is a kneecapped GK110 graphics card, used in supercomputers and servers, so of course it's going to be faster than all of them. and it wasn't released until a month after the 290X.

 

Rx 300 series is coming in a couple of months. Let's all just hold our horses until then.

The Nvidia fanboy coming out..

 

 

As well as this:

Meaning, don't just post a link. 

@CDHoward

1. Well, if you did see the graph, the 980 won in framerate.

 

2. This is in the General Discussion subforum though, but yes, OP should've writ a little paragraph summarising the article.

when i look at this i look at it from another stand point .. this shows me how un-optimized Dx11 is on AMD Gpu's . and i Find it strage that they add the 680 and 980.... but not the 780ti ?? O.o

Needs Update

Yeah.. I feel you on being a fanboy. Nvidia is awesome! Just all the ramgate stuff leaves a bad taste in my mouth.. especially because I own one and use a 1440p monitor...

I own one too and plan to get a second one just for the lulz :D I know it is not needed for 1080p gaming, but I am planning to go 1440p also...

The 290x was their flagship single gpu card, as the 780Ti was Nvidia's - he was disputing the GTX 980 being in there because its a later gen card, just pointing out there were others in that SAME generation at that spec level. If you wanted apples vs apples comparison between NV & AMD then this isnt it. This benchmark is all over the place, and severly lacking in comparable cards - but this wasnt about Nvidia vs AMD, so why try going to that point? This is about DX 11  vs 12 on a range of cards
