Vega 56 running 64 BIOS with P6 at 1537 and P7 at 1652, HBM2 at 1040 and power +35%. Previous benchmarks running same settings but I didn’t realize there was such a big difference between windowed and fullscreen.
I won’t be playing this game but benching is kinda fun.
You can see the driver uplift in their own stats link, as before I was sitting just under the official “RX Vega” results, as if the two cards are the same:
They were fairly quiet after the whole Arkham Knight stuff for a while. And now they are back to Crysis 2 crap - rendering stuff, using Nvidia tech just to tank amds performance…
kool aid drinkers will just claim its amd being shit
but that is the whole point of gameworks anyway, its software vendor lock in which nvidia pays devs to put in their game to skew things as much in their favour as possible, even artificially.
It’s not going to go away any time soon as nvidia have deep pockets to woo developers, this will allow them to stay even further ahead.
The dark viewpoint or theory here is it was done on purpose to overly show a disparity on AMD hardware to push sales of Nvidia hardware for people who want to play this game, as paid for by Nvidia with their Gameworks sponsorship.
Why else all the weird aggregate data?
I showed how wrong it can be personally with the 6762 score above, which means most people hadn’t updated their drivers to 18.2.1 yet, and also by squeezing the Vega cards into one line together.
Also, its hard to judge from benchmark only if its full of shit or if one specific setting is being grumpy
For example, ME:A highest HBAO leeched like twice as much as the second most demanding shader setting, and it just doesnt like AyyMD, which resulted as like 1440p 15fps from some ceiling light color reflections
After nap and stuff, I should try 1440p without hairworks to get healthier results for my own use, then use that as the baseline for whatever random things I suddenly need to do
