3DMark Time Spy DX 12 Benchmark released!

[Bigvizz]

Yay!
Anyhow here's the news story.

Already did a quick test on myself.(w/A-sync)

Same test (without A-sync)

All im waiting now is for the vulkan one.

My score, also with a 1070 but with a 6700k @ 4.7 Ghz. Which is the reason why my total score is a bit higher. GPU score is pretty much the same.

I am curious how AMD cards hold up.

[DeltrusDisc]

About to run it myself.

GTX 970 and i7-5820K, don't let me down!

inb4 20fps average.

Wait. Are you serious?

Windows 8.1 won't use it. Poo!

Do I reeeeeeeeeeally have to upgrade to Windows 10? =/

DX12 is W10 only. So if you want DX12...

[DeltrusDisc]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo



How easy is it to turn off the tracking/Bing crap all over W10?

Hence why people like Vulcan over DX12

Spybot anti-beacon.

My problem: I've never, read: not once, had an AMD GPU. XD

[DeltrusDisc]

Downgrade to Windows 10. lul

Anand, Pcper and Pcworld played around with it. Even turning Asynch on and off, which you can do with the paid version.

I liked this graph the most from Pcper. Showing the gains with Asynch. Gains seem to be not that massive to be honest... I am a bit suprised that the 1070/1080 get more gain than the 980/970. So Nvidia did tweak something.

[Astrowrath]

Scored 6780 with my 1080/4790K

Thought i'd post here first since I just got my new 1080

[Gully Man]

Got 3921 with an RX 480/2600k.

[DeltrusDisc]

Quick question since we're here... I've got a metric ton of Google Chrome tabs always open.

After the Windows 10 upgrade, will the tabs still be there or will I have to go through and reopen them all?

I'd like to have DX12 and be able to run this bit of software. As much as I don't like the apparent increased tracking present in Windows 10, the benefits are there...

lol, now NVidia is better even with ASync on. This is getting confusing. <_>

So, speaking of Time Spy... I watched the video on Anandtech yesterday and then last night I had a dream I was in it. XD

Nvidia uses pre-emption rather than real Async and yes it works, but only if they update the drivers each time something new comes and never to the extent of real hardware Async.

So for now it works, but when new GPU generation rolls around I have no doubt that they will continue their trend of ditching support for the previous generation.

Well the animation is really nice, I started wishing it was a game trailer. I liked the call backs to the previous tests.

7266 gpu score.
4943 cpu score.
6787 overall.

I think a mobo/cpu upgrade might be on the cards.

This statement confuses me. What does an AMD card have to do with Vulkan vs DirectX 12? Both APIs have the same basic benefits (explicit control over the GPU, reduced driver over head, and and async compute). In fact, since there is less driver overhead, there should be less room for drivers to affect performance (for better or worse).

[Fascinate]

Whoops i didnt see this thread existed, mods can delete my other one.

My score (was a total slideshow lol):

I think Vulcan right now is hyped a bit too much, because people saw the jump AMD did with it enabled in doom, but they forget that they were using something like OpenGL4.3 before, which is just horrible for GCN and limited their performance by tapping the CPU.
