Mantle vs DX11

 

[rtsurfer]

So wait.
Mantle is actually hurting the performance or am I reading this wrong.

No crossfire profile. But looks like its doesn't do anything statistically significant.

 

[Erenhardt]

dat 280x is stealing the show

 

[Erenhardt]

Also, their CPU test is borked:

fx8350 can't be faster than i5 4670

And that mantle boost

With mantle minimums are as high as avg in dx... and average fps is 20% higer

290X hanging with 780Ti and R9 280X spanking both the 680/770. Not bad. AMD's 4K performance is top notch as usual. Mantle performance needs a lot of work though.

I have to say though this time their actual "Test" is kinda pathetic. They tested some 16 second cut scene sequence as representative of real world gameplay of 3rd person RPG game? This time I'd wait for a thorough test from another site such as pcgameshardware, computerbase, HardOCP or TechSpot.

Overall, this game is a mixed bag graphics wise. In some places the textures look really nice but in others it looks horrible.

Whats up with the poor Tonga and GK104 performance again. besides all the usual issues.

And again an old i3 rock this game.

 

[AtenRa]

720p for CPU testing ?? :thumbsdown:

 

[Abwx]

fx8350 can't be faster than i5 4670

With 8 threads at full throughput the FX is noticeably faster than a i5, in applications or games, what matter is maxing out all the cores.

it cant even maintain 60 fps so not that impressive.

yeah they should test at 4k...

if they showed the test at 1080 then you would not know if maybe lowering a few graphics settings or getting a much faster gpu setup would get you over a certain framerate or not. it shows the POTENTIAL of what your cpu can do if its not limited by the gpu. really this crap should have to be explained to as you.

No, mantle is giving much lower performance than DX with the 295X2, and the same as DX with a single card, but that is with a very powerful cpu. If you look at the cpu tests, it is giving a boost at the low resolution tested.

Feel free to test your system with a GTX980 at 720p, I and the majority of gamers are playing at 1080p or above.

ps: who told you you cannot see the potential of your CPU at 1080p ???

do you really have trouble understanding such a simple concept?

AGAIN if tested at 1080 and were gpu limited to say below 60 fps then how would you know if going with a faster gpu setup or simply lowering some graphical settings would get you the performance you wanted? its asinine to test cpus in a gpu limited scenario.

Not overall, even in this game, which is probably best case scenario for AMD. With a 290X, the 8350 is faster than 4670k, while with a GTX 980, the 4670k is faster. And surprisingly, under mantle the 4670k shows a 40+ percent increase and actually pulls ahead of the FX8350 which only shows a 21% increase. So the only time the FX is ahead is with an AMD card under DX, which no one is going to use in a mantle game anyway.

And this is not to mention a lot of other recent games in which an i5 still slaughters the FX and even an i3 is neck and neck with it. As a matter of fact, if you look closely at this data, under the 2 most likely scenarios, either with an nVidia card or with an AMD card under mantle, the i3 is still within approximately 10% of the FX.

The whole point in that test is to see how well the CPU does. They test the CPU by reducing all GPU demand, which is done by turning down settings, reduce the resolution and using the fastest GPU they can. In this way, it insures the only thing holding back performance is the CPU, so they can see how well it performs.

It is not a GPU test. Oh, and just so you don't get the wrong idea, resolution changes do not change the CPU load, only the GPU load.

 

[tential]

Well... those results don't make sense.

I think they messed up some of those graphs.

 

[bystander36]

Sure it can. It just shows the game uses all the cores you give it, and hyperthreading.

 

[Silverforce11]

This game is very GPU intensive Mantle isn't going to do squat unless you play at low resolution with a very weak CPU. Which doesn't apply for most of us here who even wants to run this on high graphics.

Also, my 4K DAI dreams are dashed. Going to need a lot more grunt to handle future games at 4k.

im would be more concerned with the denuvo drm melting my ssd. luckily i cant stand bioware games.

Myth. Falsely spreaded by pirates who have trouble cracking it.

Bioware is not stupid enough to risk damaging their users hardware.

great news. ( if true) 2 bad i still cant stand bio games

not cores, but threads

i3 is to close to i5 for a well threaded game,

also check the 6300 vs 4300, basically the same with only 300Mhz difference and 2 cores less, 2 cores should do a lot more than that.

also this game simply does not run on dual core CPUs (like 5GHz g3258) but works fine on dual core sandy bridge at 3.1GHz with HT... lol

now this is very odd, the 8350 looses a lot (to be more precise, the Intel CPUs are gaining) relative to 2500K and i3 with nvidia drivers, normally is the opposite, nvidia the one who scales well with the 8350 and its lower performing but moar cores.


as for the GPU tests, a shame they don't care about lower end VGAs and lower settings,

I would say that wheels from "olden" times, such as what the DA universe is set in, were not perfectly round.... or maybe it's just poor AMD tessellation performance, right guys? :sneaky:

This game looks decent, but nothing spectacular.
