Short as in many years now, ever since TWIMTBP & now GameWorks?

It's not going to change with Titan X. Even if 390X is 10% faster overall (like the R290X is 10% slower overall vs 980), if sites review with lots of GameWorks title, its a blow out, a major decisive victory for NV, we're talking 25-50% here, not small margins.

Witcher 3 & GTA are very big deals. The former because it is the next benchmark in graphics and the latter because its insanely popular. If Titan X ends up 25-50% faster in those games, GG. NV will see that GameWorks works wonders and will put more resources (which they have, AMD does not) and expand it greatly, then lots of future AAA games will be GameWorks... yeah, sucks for an AMD user.

I've been boycotting many GameWorks titles of late due to NV's practice, but Witcher 3 is definitely something I want to play & enjoy fully.
u forget to mention Batman Arkham Knight which is Gameworks title and i fell it is going to be better than Wittcher 3.

Do as you please but reality speaks louder than denials. Whatever NV is doing works whilst AMD fails.

I can't say with a straight face telling people to get AMD GPUs if they tell me they like the kinds of games that GameWorks got covered.

See the recent [H] benchmark of the 980? Demolishes the R290X by 25-50% in GameWorks titles while using heaps less power, especially OC vs OC.

You mean the gameworks titles that have terrible performance for Kepler?

We're discussing this in relation to Titan X & other Maxwell, for future buying decisions.

If Titan X is $999 and 390X 8GB is ~$799, I would be inclined just to pay extra, get a bit extra vram for the lolz and GREAT performance in AMD GE/neutral games and GREAT performance in NV GameWorks games.

If I get 390X, I will suffer horrible performance in GameWorks games and only get GREAT performance in GE/Neutral games. See how it doesn't equalize?

NV's malpractice with GameWorks... just works, in their favor massively. AMD has done it all wrong from the start. Why spend money to fund AMD GE titles then release source code so your biggest competitor (and that competitor is about to kill them off) so they can gain all the benefits at your expense? Stupid.

IF AMD GE games ran like shiat on NV hardware, I would be less inclined to pay the premium for the Titan X, because there's some decent GE games coming soon. But how likely are GE games to run bad on NV hardware? Not very. It doesn't even become a point of discussion when choosing hardware. Have you ever seen people here recommend people to go with AMD GPUs based on games they enjoy that are GE sponsored? Nope. Plenty of us recommend NV hardware for NV games though.

That my friends, is why AMD will die. They are playing "nice guy" (or rather, stupid naive guy) in a cut-throat enterprise filled with smart sharks.

I'm not sure such... definitive statements really apply, even to the most egregious Gameworks offenders. I was shocked a few days ago when I launched AC:U and found it to be running at near 60 fps in locations that barely stayed above 30 a month ago. That's on a dual 290X.

Did it take time? Oh yes, it did. Is the performance horrible? I wouldn't say that.

So, nothing to do with morons that cannot discern between marketing and reality? Or the ones that have no issues with a company exploiting a dominant position on the market to almost literally skin them alive every time they buy something?

Okay then.

AMD is well known to sabotage performance on Nvidia cards through Sabotage Evolved games. AMD tries to pretend to be innocent but anyone knows to avoid these Sabotage Evolved games.

If by sabotage, you mean they develop a technology to run on their GPU efficiently... then release the source code so NV can, with some time, optimize it as well.. yeah. No didn't think you meant it that way. Because these days, AMD GE games like Far Cry 3, Crysis 3, BF4, Tomb Raider and the lot of them, run equally well or better on NV GPUs.

There's zero incentive for me to go with AMD GPUs over NV GPUs for this reason alone now, because NV GPUs will run GE games just fine (maybe a patch or driver update required, but they can optimize it easily with source code provided!!). AMD GPUs will continue to run NV games like ass..assin's Creed (@S.H.O.D.A.N. CF R290X should obliterate ACU), needing many months and many patches to be 25% behind. I've come to realize it very recently, especially with Witcher 3 & GTA.

Ubisoft games have always been poorly coded and runs like crap on any GPU, AC:Unity isn't the first and isn't the last. Anyone with common sense would know to avoid Ubisoft games.

They do exactly like everyone else. Mantle was one of these examples. Tho it was an attempt to save their weak CPUs, rather than to boost their GPUs. OpenCL is another extremely questionable project. And then there is all the HSA.

Unfortunately for AMD, they tend to mismanage projects and funding while betting on the wrong horse. ATI was much more ambitious in the software/support than AMD ever have been. And I am sure if AMD never bought them, we would have seen something completely different today.

In your example, AMD is simply the dumb shark.

Of all the recent gameworks games, which ones heavily favored NV over AMD after a few patches and driver revisions? Watch Dogs ran like crap (and still does) on all hardware. Far Cry 4 performs well on the current latest GCN iteration, AssCred ran worse than Watch Dogs on everything..... In fact those are all Ubisoft.

Dying Light runs well across all hardware after it was patched. As does Titanfall. Even Borderlands physx effects run reasonably well on the CPU with AMD hardware. Outside of the crap programming that Ubisoft demonstrates regularly, I think the gameworks scare is heavily exaggerated. Nvidia has had optimization issues with GE titles at release too, so it goes both ways.

Any updates on the Titan release date? Along with the 390/390x, I have heard April, June, or anywhere between. Just curious. :)

I believe the TITAN X will be a hard launch and will be available for purchase tomorrow after GTC 2015 keynote.

Nvidia has been doing hard launches for all their Kepler GPUs and Maxwell GPUs.

Remember, this is smaller production quantity than say a GTX 980 Ti(if that is coming in the future) because even Nvidia knows very little people will pay $999 for a graphics card.

I'm not sure if NV is actively putting better support towards niche MMO games, but I can contest often my GF's GTX 680 handled games better than my Radeon 7970 (and later CFX 7970s). Of course, the issues may have been specific to GCN vs Kepler.

I would be lying if this type of support isn't something that will influence my next purchase. However, NV's complete abandonment of Kepler is making me swing more towards AMD side.

For some reason people think what is good to make NVidia money is good for the consumer. Clearly looking what is happening they are not.

You would rather see AMD and NVidia release games that run [badly] on each others hardware. This makes zero sense.

Profanity isn't allowed in the technical forums.

Can you elaborate? Maybe suggest a situation where it might provide greater performance than the 50% bandwidth increase suggests?


With same clocks, surely GTX TTZ should scale to 50% performance over GTX 980. Performance gap can be bigger due to higher bandwidth(No, bandwidth is not only a limiting factor on the performance of a card, but instead is a factor that always adds performance).

I'd much rather wait to see what the market looks like when both sides have gotten cards out. A month or two waiting is a lot less of a big deal compared to years of regret.
