Question: DX12 - AMD vs Nvidia

[set_flo]

Came across this personal opinion by an anonymous person on the internet.

 

To any people who actually understand the more complex hardware details: Any legitimacy in this?

TL;DL : AMD > Nvidia for DX12 gaming

[Amazingasian]

Remember that DX12 still hasn't been fully released and both AMD and Nvidia still have time to fix drivers and software for the cards before it releases to the public.

Nvidia has some 12.1 features but lacks proper async compute which by the very early indications is pretty important. Too early to tell though as we don't exactly have a lot of material to go on.

nobody will know untill benchmarks come out.

As of now very legit

There's like, only 1 directx 12 game on which it was tested so far...

And yes, as of right now, AMD is above Nvidia for directx 12... Just that it doesn't matter because we won't "really" see Directx 12 for a few more years. (Just like how it took so long before we finally got Directx11 games)

Nvidia has more than enough time to "catch up".

I love the cursing this guy does...  lol.  And AMD will have MUCH BETTER DX12 cards right now.  They OWN multithread workloads, which DX12 will help out with.  But in a generation or two Nvidia will be able to take care of it.

 

Edit: and he is laughing so hard... lol

[manikyath]

well... if you take one benchmark as absolute truth, you're right.

 

but if you do that you should really go sit in a corner and think about things...

[niofalpha]

The 1 game that has been benchmarked for DX12 is sponsored by AMD, and it's an Alpha...

 

If the Async thing is true, then AMD will win this generation of GPU's.

[Grrizz]

We'll have to wait and see how things pan out but based on specs alone at this point in time it looks like AMD will be better at some things and Nvidia will be better at others.

But for the love of gawd anyone thinking about upgrading for DX12 WAIT till the next gen cards from both companies come out because the current gen on both sides are lacking as far as DX12 is concerned and its going to be a while before a reasonable amount of games designed from the ground up for DX12 come out.

Not to mention so far in a game that heavily favours async-compute all we are seeing is AMD catching up, Nvidia cards still perform admirably. Basically looking ahead both AMD and Nvidia are looking like they have good offerings but currently in a DX11 dominated game space Nvidia are head.

Thanks for all the responses. Interesting to think about.
