VRMARK Cyan Room DX12 Benchmark – AMD VS Nvidia
VRMARK Cyan Room DX12 Benchmark – AMD VS Nvidia
Looking at the Nvidia hardware on this graph we can see that older Maxwell hardware sits far behind their Pascal counterparts, with Nvidia’s GTX 1070 sitting far ahead of the company’s last generation flagship, the GTX 980Ti. In most games, especially older DX11 titles, both of these GPUs offer fairly similar performance, with the GTX 1070 Founders Edition usually taking a small lead. This time the GTX 1070 Founders Edition offers a performance boost of around 900 points, which is a performance increase of around 19.5% performance boost.
When comparing competing AMD and Nvidia hardware, we can see that AMD has won out here in every case, with the R9 380 easily surpassing the GTX 960, the RX 480 offering a roughly 10% performance boost over the GTX 1060 6GB and the RX Vega series offering a lot more performance than Nvidia’s price competition the GTX 1070 and GTX 1080.
Despite AMD advantage in this benchmark, Nvidia still holds the top position here, with AMD lacking any performance or price competitor to Nvidia’s GTX 1080 Ti.
Looking at the GTX 960 and R9 380, or the GTX 980 Ti and R9 Fury X, we can see that AMD’s older hardware has clearly aged better in this test, though this is due to AMD’s forward-thinking design with GCN, offering advanced features that were inaccessible in DirectX 11. Most modern games are designed with older APIs however, and not many developers have moved over the DirectX 12 yet, so this kind of advantage is rarely seen in shipping titles.
