[Computerbase.de] Windows 10 vs 8.1 vs 7 benchmark roundup

Ark is such a truly awful game. Just terrible technically. Looks like complete ass and runs like garbage. On most settings at medium with some high you are looking at 35fps on a 1600mhz 980ti (SLI does not work). It was a game that had me making use of Steam refunds within 30 minutes of purchase. Just terrible and the gameplay was awful to boot.

UE4 as an engine is looking to be a total turd from what we've seen so far with games that have used it. Terrible performance, no multi-gpu support and disappointing graphics. The official tech demos appear to be a pipe dream for what actual games using the engine will look like.

Am I the only one that finds it a little misleading to compare 2 indie games and one unfinished game to three multi-million dollar games (of which one almost left the company in financial ruin)?

I mean, I guess, I wouldn't be surprised that a studio of 50+ people could optimize their engine better than a handful of first timers.

Do we have any real AAA dev titles to compare? All the comparatives made by Russian just tells me AAA studios backed by millions code better than Indie devs trying to break even.

Yeah, I just don't get the need to even bring up the performance of a game that is in pre-release/alpha.

smh

Hopefully the decoupling of CPU power and gpu performance in dx12 will make more innovative use of the CPU.

This. It seems sort of disingenuous, really, to cite those few UE4 games and pretend you've made a point about the engine itself. Game optimization comes down to the game developer, not the middleware provider. Epic can only give developers the tools to help optimize. Ultimately that doesn't matter if the developer doesn't or can't put the effort in, either because they don't have the resources or haven't had enough time.

That makes me not want to install Windows 10 if it wants to handle driver updates, but I have an Nvidia card. Their driver releases since April have been pretty lousy. I finally had to give up and disable hardware acceleration in Chrome since I wanted to play Witcher 3 and the April driver (for the GTA V release, the last stable one they have released) wasn't going to cut it for TWC3.

Once the system was up and running (I let it install drivers to start with for the chipset, audio, video, etc), I set the option to not let it install drivers for me. It's let me run whatever driver I want through multiple restarts ever since.
