So 480 got a 20% performance boost with a patch. From 62% of a 1070 to 76% of a 1070.

Priced about $240 for a 8gb 480 and $450 for a 1070 (just scanning Newegg prices)

That's 53% the price for 76% of the performance.

Huh.

If it were 76% of the price as well, it'd be $340. So the 480 is $100 cheaper than its performance suggests.

What's really important is where the absolute performance falls. 116fps @ 1080 and 73fps @ 1440 is excellent game play performance for $240.

I think the real take away here is that DOOM is badass. I'll say it again. DOOM is that ass while being the opposite of good, in an awesome way.

There aren't any graphical differences, except perhaps those that result from adjusting settings since you have more performance headroom. :thumbsup:

in ONE game :D
it's still WAY too early to herald Vulkan as GPU-jesus.

Yup, can pack more graphical features in the same performance envelope, Nice! :)

Oversimplification for sure. Toward the high end, performance never scales linearly with price. But this is common knowledge. Price of the 1070 should also come down as supply increases. And of course, this is a best case game for AMD.

Hmm, not the first time we are hearing this...

Seems to be a common thread developing...

RTS games like Ashes and Warhammer are mentioned as best case scenarios for AMD. Now we have a solid FPS title which also looks to be a best case for AMD.

Looking very good for AMD with 2 major genres being best case scenarios for them.

Not talking about the genre of the game, but the API obviously. Anyway, 3 games out of the thousands available, sure, that is a representative sample.

The trend is developing with a very high percentage performance gain for AMD, but as far as I know there are not thousands of games yet for Vulkan and DX12 APIs.

Well it is the very first game to use vulkan to increase performance isn't it? Pretty interesting that the very first showing is such a good one for AMD. Seems like things could only get better on that front as more games adopt the API and it's implementation gets better.

Doesn't really matter to me though. I already bought a 1070, which doesn't seem to get any benefits from Vulkan thus far. It just reminds me of the 3dnow days with amd processors back in the 90s.

Fury X 26% faster than the 1070? I can't remember other games performing like this one.

NV boost probably coming soon:

Does DOOM support asynchronous compute when running on the Vulkan API?

Asynchronous compute is a feature that provides additional performance gains on top of the baseline id Tech 6 Vulkan feature set.

Currently asynchronous compute is only supported on AMD GPUs and requires DOOM Vulkan supported drivers to run. We are working with NVIDIA to enable asynchronous compute in Vulkan on NVIDIA GPUs. We hope to have an update soon.

Whoa! The Fury X and good old 7970 card gains are looking especially huge.

Make sure you see the Vulkan libraries installed when you look at Programs and Features in Win10.
