I like it when they also do non-Ultra settings benchmarks.

 

[Udgnim]

since this is being developed by Epic, I assume this is a UE 4 engine game, correct?

 

[BlitzWulf]

390 slower than OG Titan and 980m? 980 faster than Titan X? these results are odd from top to bottom

Not really, because Epic and Nvidia are like two big buddies.

Even so that perf stack is just ridiculous you should never see the Titan X between the 970 and 980, not even going to linger on Tahiti being slower than a 660ti Yikes!

 

[airfathaaaaa]

they need to promote their best selling cards

 

[crisium]

980 faster than a Titan X.

 

[96Firebird]

Are you guys missing the different settings teirs?

Edit - Whoops, looks like the 980 is above the Titan X...

Even though the wacky fps between high end cards, the good thing is the game scaled well to lower end cards. All cards seems to be able to maintain over 60fps.

Maybe cpu bottleneck?

I'll give them that, the Game looks very pretty and seems to be playable on a wide range of HW but I cant believe that they would publicly announce these specs so casually, they are basically saying "Hey folks our Devs have literally no idea how to optimize for high performance HW"

They should be embarrassed to publicly post these results and I think it's pretty clear that regardless of which IHV you support we should all be glad that Epic doesn't make many games anymore.

I mean compare this to Battlefront ,another gorgeous Online multiplayer only game.

Everybody know's games that is developed old school way before the AMD cancer from consolls came into the games ran like the BOSS on 700 and down hardware. And they blame gameworks..... *tease* <3

PS: vote trump for lols

Disclaimer: Sarcasm and poking fun at everybody blaming everything for whatever is making their team and card not looking good.

Your teasing is far too apt i'm afraid :sneaky:, I'll admit I casually read your first paragraph and immediately looked to your username,expecting to see one of the usual suspects.

 

[poofyhairguy]

Hell yeah it was.

I vote "Kepler Console Cancer" (KCC) becomes the official term to describe how poorly those GPUs have aged.

 

[Mercennarius]

Game looks heavily Nvidia biased, but still easy to run for everyone

 

[Raising]

I think that titan has an extra X on it..

 

[Stuka87]

Been watching some people on twitch play it, and it looks fun.

But wow those benchmarks... It is alpha and all, but a 390 getting destroyed by a 970 shows the NV bias is strong here.

It's quite normal for UE4 games. Everyone of them that I've seen benches for, NV is ahead by 25-50%.

Normally most engines are independent and in-house developed and if NV sponsor GameWorks, it's tacked on. But UE4 itself is NV sponsored.

The only time I saw an UE4 game that ran well on AMD was in Fable DX12, R290X > 980 is a miracle for UE4.

 

[Mahigan]

NVAPI is baked into UE4.

 

[Ferzerp]

I find the group think on this board amusing when comparing games that one vendor or the other performs better at.

On the one hand, when one company is faster, the game is praised and it is obviously well written.
But when the other company is faster, it is apparently a shortcoming of the game.

It is extremely off-putting to the casual reader and occasional poster.

You are looking at it wrong. When a card with far less hardware outperforms a card with far more hardware, thats when we say something is wrong. When a 980Ti is 50% faster than a Fury, something is wrong.

That's just the reality, some engines favor GCN over Kepler/Maxwell and vice versa. UE4 is one that NV sponsor and so it has always performed very well in it compared to AMD, the gap is huge.

When people praise or criticize games on the GPU forum, it's always in relation to the visuals vs performance.

The most popular game for UE4, ARK, where even top GPUs struggle to run the game on Medium (horrible graphics) settings.

How are we supposed to think?

Check out how the GPUs perform at 1080p.

http://www.pcgameshardware.de/ARK-Survival-Evolved-Spiel-55571/Specials/Benchmark-Test-2016-1182869/

Yeah, those numbers are for 1080p, not 4K.

Paragon just repeats this trend, but at least it runs much faster.

 

[Madpacket]

So UE4 is not looking so hot? Oh well, almost every UE3 game had that look where like everything was covered in Vaseline so my expectations weren't very high to begin with.

 

[dark zero]

Paragon seems to be an awfully coded game (despite gamewise is great)... even a Titan X is having problems against a 980....

LMAO!

I'm told that this was done in order to allow for better market penetration.
