PCPERDX12 GPU and CPU Performance Tested: Ashes of the Singularity Benchmark

[Glo.]

Do you see there 4K resolution in PCPer tests?

I don't either. If you will look at tests they are incredibly consistent regardlessly of the site and methodology.

Low resolution, low details, Nvidia gets higher performance. Higher resolution, higher details, Nvidia GPUs gets decrease in performance.

About the amount of cores. To 1600p in resolution, there is absolutely no hit in performance between amount of CPU cores used for benchmark. But in 4K - there is. Why? I believe that is because for that type of resolution and detail level you need more horsepower under the hood from CPU, thats why the engine scales itself to the detail levels.

Look at Arstechnica test in 4K resolution. You see everywhere decrease in 4K performance on Nvidia GPU with 4 cores compared to 6 cores.

AMD GPU hit its own performance wall thats why its unaffected by amount of CPU cores.

Is it available for download somewhere?

 

[ShintaiDK]

Doesnt seem so.

AoTS Founders have access to the benchmark starting tomorrow.

I'm not sure what that means.

I see so you have to pre-order through them and they offer bonuses for doing so. I just want to try the benchmark and probably won't even buy the game when it does release. I don't play RTS games.

Well as it is now we cant have only the benchmark. I know i dont like it either but thats how they decided to go.

It means go time! One more day till DX12 and then that link in steam will actually do something lol.

It's not that pricey if you put it in context. You'll get a year of play before release which is eta winter 2016.

If anyone is curious I will run tomorrow on my i7 3770k / Nvidia 680 GTX @ 1920x1200.

I don't play RTS games though.

I'll be running it on my rig also. We should break out to a new thread for user benchmarks discussion.

BTW all, it is confirmed dropping today by the devs. Should be soon.

The update is live.

Really tempted to go founder and go silly testing object/texture based shading.

Do it for us. Take one for the team!

Ars Techica tested the benchmark using a 980TI and a 290X

Long story short. The 290X and 980TI were neck and neck under DX12

The really eye popping part of that article imho, was the 99th percentile results:

Of course all the usual caveats apply, but that's quite an astonishing result for AMD, preliminary as it may be.

 

[biostud]

Any SLI/CF results?

Surely you mean mgpu (just kidding) it's like a pre pre alpha, sli/cf is probably the last thing on their minds right now.

 

[AtenRa]

CF/SLI will be available on the beta.

 

[Larnz]

And I only just bought a 980Ti

AMDs gains over dx11 are crazy. Hoping Nvida has some driver magic in the tank otherwise 980ti was way overpriced. Providing its all true that is.

Because of 1 single AMD sponsored alpha benchmark?

Just look what happen to Star Swarm over time. Same thing, same company, same sponsor.

And actually the same engine that the alpha is based on.

This whole thing is the same as the 2013 witch-hunt over the crysis 3 alpha benchmark where it was all gloom and doom for the future of intel.
Based on one little part (1 or 2 parts of levels)of one big game.

What happened?
Games went even simpler instead of getting more like crysis 3.
So even if amd gpus will end up with a big advantage over nvidia in the final version of this one game it will still hold the same relevance as crysis 3, it's just the odd one out.

I am surprised that this has not been posted yet:

It appears that Nvidia's drivers are starting to make a difference, no?

memory is a little foggy, but didn't the developers say the performance #s were a DX12 driver issue?

 

[Goatsecks]

Yea, that's my recollection as well. I thought it was interesting to share here doue to the enormous amount of hoo-har regarding maxwel being hamstrung on the dx12/async compute front.

There was A LOT of crazy speculation.
