Borked? So its Steve's fault Nvidia did not have the drivers in time. The newest drivers actually helped older AMD cards like the Furyx match the 980ti.
Steve, awesome review as always. We LOVE your website.

Thanks mate. It's worth noting that Nvidia made no performance claims with this new driver, they merely added SLI support. I'm seeing 0 - 3% performance change, so basically margin or error but I'll keep testing more cards.
@vulcan: Techspot is still in the business of making money and releasing the review 2 days after everyone else is never ideal.
There sure are a lot of armchair quarterbacks here today.

It's not even that, or at least JUST that.
A: The performance of Nvidia's graphics cards was acceptable, if it wasn't we would have waited as we've done in the past.
B: We asked Nvidia if they had a better driver that improves performance incoming and they couldn't give us a clear answer.
C: People want the results ASAP and we're always happy to update the numbers and we like to follow progress anyway.
D: It's free content, what's there to complain about

Great work steve, don't pay no mind to the backseat drivers.as if you ever did. , I didn't expect nvidia to try very hard on an AMD sponsored title .on launch day.I'm sure they will have a better optimized driver in due time,, and that Dunia Engine is being Quite Reused .it first showed up in Farcry 2, really UBI?
Looking forward to the CPU benches , bench on..

Jesus people, just because a game runs better on AMD at a similar price point, doesn't mean that the Nvidia cards were not optimized. It could just mean that the AMD cards are not nerfed by things like hair works.
This is a very good looking game with high fps on the Nvidia cards. Optimized enough for you.
Oh and by the way, Steve tested with the newest drivers from Nvidia and saw a whopping 4% gain. Crossfire was also a little better than SLI.

Guessing I won’t get a playable 40+ at 4K even at low settings with my crossfire 280x solution. If only I could find a retailer who could actually ship a 1080ti!
You just might. The 380x gets 18 fps at 4k ultra meaning it could probably do 25 fps on normal. Steve saw up to 80% crossfire scaling meaning you could comfortably hit 40 fps, especially with a little o/c. 3 gb is enough for this game so long as you have enough system memory to reinforce it.

Seems to be a well optimized title that runs just dandy on both AMD and Nvidia hardware.
Even with RPM and shader intrinsics Vega still falls short of the aging GP102, but it's good to see people have finally accepted reality that it isn't a Nv killer.

Since it's throwback Thursday: Check out the 7970 GHz beating the 780 Ti as usual lol.
I will never understand how Nvidia swindled so many people into buying their 2 year's late and twice as expensive version of the 7970...

I loved the 7970, overpriced and underclocked. The day mid-range Nvidia ruined high-end AMD parties.
A minutes silence please.

So true. Tahiti has held up very well. The 7970 originally went against the GTX 680 and today it often beats it easily. Most GTX 680s also came with 2 gb frame buffer so there is often textures missing.
On top of this is the huge compute performance of Tahiti. These gpus were had great resale for their folding/crunching ability and now continue to have great resale for their mining ability.

Wow, im impressed. For once AMD isnt underperforming AND crossfire support is here on release. Which is a far cry (pun intentended) from the previous game that required users to wait around 9 months for crossfire support to drop.
If only this was the rule and not the exception that it really is.

So dropping the quality made the GTX 950 preform worse?!?!
