Strange, how come nvdia cards still do better in vulkan doom with a slow cpu?

Arma is also strange, looks cpu but not dx11 overhead limited, then with a fast cpu the dx overhead suddenly becomes a thing.

Arma just runs better on NV. It's not a CPU thing at all besides the usual single threaded old dated engine.

The Vulkan result is the strange one, you would think, DX11 games there's an overhead for AMD resulting in less performance, or rather, more performance loss moving to older CPUs.. but it didn't happen. Except in Vulkan where it shouldn't due to the reduced overhead! lol

I saw the vulkan result earlier on a different forum and it's very disappointing, but perhaps another sign of how immature the driver/API/game state is (not even Vsync works properly)

and this test just shows how most reviews are failing when they don't test the VGAs also with more representative CPUs, sure I'm all in for testing with the fastest CPU possible, but not just that.

Hmmm... I thought that 480 is DX12 oriented card. Why it looses in AotS both in DX11 and DX12 ?

I couldn't find any mention of driver versions used, power or temp targets for either cards, and a general lack of info overall for the testing methodology. These numbers also do not seem to be in line with over review sites for what we can compare. I'd take the whole thing with a grain of salt.

TPU testing mythologies just don't come in line with other sites. I get the feeling there is a great deal of consistency there.

A big bottleneck ,, it will be pointless to play.. gl

There will be too much bottleneck
