Prey benchmarks [techpowerup]

The previews/reviews I've read so far on Steam and elsewhere seem very positive, so I might pick this up. The game story was written by Chris Avellone the same guy that wrote Planescape Torment and Fallout New Vegas, both of them highly acclaimed.
 
1080p Very high settings

Highly overclocked cards:
RX 570 @ 1440MHz
RX 580 @ 1500MHz
GTX 970 @ 1555MHz
GTX 1060 @ 2100MHz

 
Interesting results at 1440p.
GTX1080 is 28% faster than GTX1070
GTX1080TI is 68% faster than GTX1070.

GTX1070 is only 50% faster than GTX970.


Lets wait for pcgameshardware test with aftermarket cards if aftermarket 980TI beat aftermarket 1070.

Game seems to run really, really well indeed. This is becoming per usual when AMD's software consultants are involved. Their console experience really seems to be bearing fruit these last couple years.

Their GPU hardware team on the other hand... Is lacking to say the least.

Nvidia cards dominating this game. GTX 970 matching RX 580. GTX 1060 is 10% faster than Rx 580. Thats embarassing for a game which AMD has a marketing tie in. I think GCN architecture's poor deferred rendering performance shows up again.

Depends on the benchmark you're looking at, right? 😉

The big question that everyone wants to know is how the Titan Xp performs in the game. I'm surprised they don't have results from this card in there.

why is there such huge disparity between the pcgameshardware / gamegpu benches and computerbase / techpowerup. Rx 580 goes from losing by 10% to ref GTX 1060 (computerbase) to Nitro Rx 580 LE edging out ASUS GTX 1060 9 Gbps by 4% at1080p according to pcgameshardware. This is in spite of pcgameshardware using the older 17.4.4 drivers for AMD instead of 17.5.1 while using 382.05 whql which is the recommended nvidia driver for prey .Still GTX 1060 has the more consistently higher avg performance across multiple reviews.
 
Sniper Ghost Warrior 3: RX 580 beats the GTX 1060 by 10-15fps across the board. Prey: 1060 slightly ahead of RX 580. Both are CryEngine titles.

One thing is for sure, NVIDIA's dominance in CryEngine is certainly not what it used to be.

At least a few % of the difference is attributable to the following:
PCGH reverted to 381.89 WHQL versus 382.05 WHQL ("Game Ready") driver. This is because the game-ready driver, although performing better in average FPS, was creating unacceptable stuttering.

381.89 vs. 382.05. PCGH is using the older 381.89 (not 382.05 shown in the pic above, they fixed it already) all the other reviewer the 382.05 I believe. The one "optimized" for Prey gives you a bit more performance but is causing a lot of stuttering as you can see.

And 99% of the reviewer don't care about something like frametimes, so they probably don't know about that problem. And then of course the driver with better benchmark results is the one to go. 😉

I thought I noticed that in the video posted above, the helicopter scene I ended up watching in .25x speed over and over because it just felt really off and the blades made my eyes tweak
 
Pre day 1 drivers seem typical for AMD in Cry engine. Day 1 is very good results, I guess from the collaboration.

Too bad they will need another driver to fix the stutter. Hopefully Scott Wasson is throwing a fit and will get this fixed.

He doesn't need to cause this is a nVidia problem. 😉 And even there it's only the 382.05 Game Ready Driver for Prey , 381.89 seems to be fine.
