Well the only benefit of using it is for optimisation, or to fit a feature in for "free" that wouldn't have been able to have. Some engines make good use of it, others won't benefit as much.

Ah that makes sense. Do you believe PCs will see more DX12 related features in the near future or do you still think many studios are more comfortable with DX11 and 12 is just treated as a feature right now due it's higher complexity?

The Graphics score isn't really that impressive next to a 1080 Ti considering it costs £2000 more than a 1080 Ti, Only a core clock of 2050 so not an amazing overclock on my card -

https://www.3dmark.com/fs/12796206

1080 Ti - Graphics Score - 31,638
Titan V - Graphics Score - 32,124

An extra 486 points are totally worth an extra £2000

For £2000 on top of a 1080 Ti I'd want something hugely better than that, Kind of disappointing to be honest

Nvidia are more worried about reliability than raw performance. It's a prosumer card after all. It makes no sense the numbers it's getting in games it is basically a ti and a 1060 combined in terms of core count iirc. It's much faster than you think.

Just look at mining. It was tested in ETH getting almost 80MH/s. That's f* insane. A 1080ti is at like 35MH/s. It's a Compute card first and foremost after all.

I will post some other bench scores later, you are welcome to compare your 1080 Ti to them if you want to.

As to the card I am very pleased with them and they look much better in real life than they do in the pics.

I also suspect that NVidia are only going to produce a very limited number of these cards which means for professional work their resale value could go up faster than the value of a pile of bitcoins .

I'd rather have both versions of the Star Wars cards than a Titan V. That resale value will definitely hold too

This card loves DX12 and with better drivers it is only going to get faster.

Volta seems really strong in Dx12, though. Wasn't there some complaints about Nvidia's poor Async compute implementation with 9 and 10 series? Maybe Volta fixes that.

https://www.ashesofthesingularity.com/metaverse#/ladders/benchmark/overall/Crazy_1440p (Score of 8700, rest of the results are multi GPU setups)

:wiggle:

No but for real, this makes me hopeful of 1100 series or whatever it'll be called. If lower level APIs also alleviate overhead current generation CPUs might last quite a while.

Well Linus reckons he is being bottle necked by a 5960x running GTAV. Gotta say, I do find it funny that leading industry reviewers are buying their own cards from their master, whilst Jay just talks about it because he hasn't got one. Bit of a spit in the face, but Linus appears to have taken it well to the tune of $3000.

I think that if things go any faster in the GPU market CPUs are going to be a real problem. GPU tech is just so far ahead now it's a joke.

 

[looz]

He is not being bottlenecked by the processor in GTA V, the engine breaks at higher frame rates.

In addition, games limited by CPU are limited by single core performance - something we probably won't see improving drastically.

Overclocked the memory a bit more

Heaven 4 1080p

Titan V @1980/1000

7980XE @4.8

388.59 Drivers

1080p

So close to 5k

5K score or GTFO Kaap!

Titan V @1920/1000

And maxed @2160p

@4k in this bench the Titan V is as quick as a pair of Pascal Titans in SLI.

Kaapstad, will you be doing work it was built for with yours? Merely curious

If CPU's had been given the same level of R&D that GPU's had, I honestly reckon we would have had 8 core CPU's in the mainstream in the early 2000's.

No just gaming.

Having said that my favourite game of all time is Civ5 which is quite capable of bringing even the most powerful of PCs to its knees when it is played on a huge map with a massive empire.

I am hoping that a 7980XE/TitanV setup can make it a bit more playable later in the game.


If anyone wants to really stress test a PC build forget prime 95 and play Civ 5, this will work both the CPU and graphics and generates a lot of heat.

CPUs are probably even more researched than GPUs and are available on smaller nodes too.

Unfortunately intel have very little competition and are in no hurry to share the latest research in their products.

Having said that with the arrival of Threadripper we can now buy 18/36 core/thread CPUs from intel that can reach 4.8ghz.

Doesn't Civ5 start to slow down on an engine level and eventually crash once you hit massive maps and vast amount of empires/city states? I thought it did that's why I never played games like that.
Idk I just remember a bunch of mod makers talking about it and the limitations.

I can only really observe from the outside but to me it seems GPU tech advances so quickly compared to CPU that CPU's have a hard time playing catchup.

I do look forward to the day that we can get an 18 core chip at 4.50GHz in the mainstream that doesn't cost £2000 ^_^

I could quite happily go out and get the 18 core right now but I swap hardware too much for it to really be worth it.
