Yay, Less performance for Nvidia users, Woooot.................. XD

Hopefully the final version will work better than the beta, hopefully I will be ready and able to test this when it goes live.

Be happy :lol:

You should have seen the performance drop of my 980tis in DX 12 before I replaced em with 1080s. Its better, but by no means anywhere near what a proper implementation would bring.

It wouldn't help that much unless it was specifically designed for Pascal. As it is, it really only benefits AMD because of there ability to do Compute and Graphic processing concurrently. It could help Nvidia, but there's only so much they can do while they wait for the pipeline to clear up. I bet whatever is after Pascal should solve this problem tho

I dont know. Pascal is defo handling DX12 better than Maxwell. Got worse performance drops with Maxwell.

Might want to read my post properly though. I didnt state that it would help nVidia on the performance side. Dont know what your on about.

Sure did read it. Then also expanded upon your comment. What's wrong with what I did?
Pascal is handling it better yes, but it's still bad. Because again, still slower to switch tasks than processing both at the same time.

Gave up on this ages ago. Too many bullet sponges and far too hard for the fun being offered back.

Co op was fun but yeah, way too hard.

It's alot better now, but I just avoid the Dark Zone as everyone is running with Flame Turrets and Alpha Bridge Assault Rifle builds, which ruin the whole experience.

Survival is fun but it's best in a group in case you mess up and need to be revived and run out of med kits.

As for the DX12 I will try it and see what it's like but the game still runs like crap on my 980Ti's at 1080p and 4K is not even worth attempting but will see how it goes when this patch drops.

That part. Read the context. I was simply stating that it is better on Pascal than on Maxwell. I didnt say that this would bring good performance for nVidia Pascal or Maxwell. Its not like its news that AMD can support DX12 properly.

We (my pal and I) were on a quest involving some huge dude with a flame thrower. We died about ten times, then I got annoyed. He told me he had done that part on Xbox with his mate and it took them about three hours. Yeah, that would grate a little.

Shame as I actually paid for it too.

They have improved the co-op / PVE aspect quite a lot, it's very playable again now so long as you play at your 'level' (they have world tiers) it's quite enjoyable. The Darkzone however is still not fixed (and they've openly admitted that) They are concentrating on getting the PVE working first, and they are, as loath as I am to say it.. getting there, it's a much better experience than it was a few months ago.

Survival is a whole new game imo, you should give it a chance if you have the season pass already, if not, perhaps wait a bit. I hear they are trying to put it out as a standalone.

Be interested to see how DX12 performs but I can live without it tbh, I don't know why they've prioritised it over other things really.
