Is it true that the R9 290x will outperform the GTX 970 when direct X 12 comes out

[XxDeadpool67xX]

So I read that the r9 290x will outperform the GTX 970 when DirectX 12 comes out. Is this true if so how much. Will it matter that much. Cause gotta have that hairworks.

[NeatSquidYT]

Just wait.

I, and almost all users on this forum, have absolutely no clue about most things that have yet to be released.

RCFProd on Toms Hardware said this

 

 

However, early DX12 benchmarks show that the R9 290x will become up to 30-35% more powerful than it is now and that is incredible. Not sure how accurate this is really.

It's shown that the R9 290X can make more or as many draw calls as a GTX Titan X in DX12, but the issue with that idea is that the number of draw calls does not indicate actual performance. The GTX Titan X is far ahead of the 290X despite what this graph shows.

Look at the Mantle draw calls as well, because a GTX 780 Ti beats the 290X in Mantle in plenty of instances.

is it out yet? no.

 

we'll have to wait and see.

exactly, mantle already is what dx12 is supposed to be and it's really meh.

[ICantThinkOfAnyGoodName]

We don't know yet. And even if it improves performance by a lot, it will only be in games that are actually developed with DX12, nothing will change about current games.

Some benchmarks have shown amd doing better in DX12 than nvidia, but that might just be because it is so close to mantle, nvidia should have caught up when the first DX12 games launch. DX12 seems to have a lot more impact on cpu than gpu.

look at dragon age inquisition with mantle. the 290x have a lot more drawcall but it still has its ass handed to it by the 980. drawcalls' ain't everything

Outside of mobile development it means VERY little.

Marginally better. Anyway, by the time DX12 games become mainstream both cards is a mid range card if not low. 

[GlassBomb]

The correct answer is maybe.

So 5 years later these graphics cards can only run games on medium to low   bummer.

Still better than consoles though

[gilang01]

the increase in drawcalls will improve fps, don't get me wrong, but it won't change the fact that these GPUs have to render the calls they get. the performance tier will stay the same IMO.

I guess though so. Maybe OC it will get more power out of it how much more demanding can games get I mean It takes 2 970 in SLI to run witcher 3 60fps. It can't get more demanding then that.

[Nena Trinity]

It does do better than it in "Mantle" games so maybe?

it's better in mantle games because the 980/970 still uses dx11. if both use dx12, i bet the situation will be different

But you have to account for amds experience in these APIs.

They might, for once, have better dx12 drivers than nvidia

I'm new to all this "Mantle stuff what is it?"

maybe yes, maybe no. we know nothing.
