How do you manage to spell Vulkan wrong when it's literally right there in front of you?

nigga o shit.
I have a 280x, but use a 770 in my desktop. Might switch it out since the 770 is shit in vulkan.

will it make my shit cpu better?

It supposed to be a joke from yesterday thread when the Vulkan was compared between Nvidia and AMD

"Looks like AMD does what Nvidia Vulcant

Sup Forums needs more threads about GPUs and VIDEO GAMES

Got you senpai

>TFW I still have my old 7950 (280) laying around
Just a shame that it stands no chance against my Fury X.
I am interested in how my Fury X would perform, but its not worth getting doom just to try out Vulkan.

that's actually pretty impressive, my 290X gets 120FPS in that scene as well. I guess AMD just stopped giving a fuck after 7970.

>How do you manage to spell Vulkan wrong when it's literally right there in front of you?
shut up fag fite me 1v1 ?

i play on ultra with 45-60fps with GTX780 I think it increased.

...

WEW GT 700 AND GT 600 OWNER IS SOKEKED.

There is also the talos principle. It is a bit Sup Forums as well. Not much though.

More like this is the power of a 5 year old card finally having competent enough drivers to keep up with a 5 year old game engine

A-are you being retarded or something?
Unreal Engine 4 is four years old too. Is that engine obsolete as well?

saved, LMAO

The correct spelling is Vulkan you stupid fuck.

Shame there's going to be like two games supporting vulkan due to microsoft and nvidia will buying out studios.

I have a gtx 1070 right now in my rig and my 280x is still on my desk.

Did I fuck up for not waiting til Vega?

like we told you yes you fucked up, 10xx series is fucking trash who can´t into dx12 like all other nividia cards they are one trick ponys on dx11 and shit the bed in other cenarios.
Nvidia will never be good at async computing or dx12 at all. If you want to be future proof you buy amd, nvidia is only for short term perfomance

Do not listen to the memes. Look at this situation from an unbiased perspective unlike these shills.

Currently nvidia is superior when running in dx11/OGL but amd gains a lot from dx12/Vulkan. Now, people will try and tell you that dx11 is dead and vulkan/dx12 is already the norm which is a complete lie. 2018/19 will probably be the point where every single game being released will be developed with dx12/vulkan so currently you're perfectly fine since dx11 is still very much the norm and no idiot fanboy can refute that.

This is actually worse by 70 frames
>t 980ti owner

I don't know man. I have 290X in my system and I'm getting same performance as 280X. Something is fucked up.

CPU: i7 6700 Skylake
Settings: Default Graphics (Medium and above)

980ti pulling 170fps on ultra settings, please tell me what pill you take

Max everything and set the api to vulkan u scrub

that's not me you idiot. it is the op's settings.

I doubt CPU matters here, I have OCed 4670, but game doesn't max it out.
Everything on max, except for Motion Blur..

>ze germans going from 36fps to over 50fps on an 8350 + nano at 4k

That is some serious gains for 4k.

and in power saving mode. cpu runs at 1.8 ghz.

I only have the 280(non x) version, am I still good?

...

Its just a 280x with less cores (clockspeed varies on a model by model basis).

test it.

I have a 280x too!

Vulkan is just for games that support it though, right?

I have a standard 7850 with 1gb vram, it could somewhat keep 30-40 fps at 1080p with low graphic settings. With vulkan it pushed 40-60 fps at medium graphics.

Thats pretty damn impressive.

Yes. Games have to be made specifically with Vulkan rendering pipeline.

Aaw, too bad.

Not many games will support it then since nvidia pays devs better.

I'm expecting valve doing something about that.

...

If HL3 shows what vulkan can do then AMD might be saved.

It's good that software progress is being made and not just hardware in the gpu department.

Hasn't worked out for DX12 either. As of the latest tomb raider patch AMD outperforms its equivalent Nvidia card in every DX12 game

>vulkan uses more vram
Dropped.

doing what? They already did all they could. Provided decent documentation and tried to push it, using their name. They won't pay off anybody, and they already ported their killer title to Vulkan.

I don't get it, how is the 280x so old? Isn't it a fairly new card?

hl3 with vulkan.

>>vulkan uses more vram
>Dropped.
That's a good point. Apparently the 970 Memecard is the most popular card on Steam so that means it's the best and it's only 3.5GB. Nvidia will hopefully release a new driver so all these people can download more ram.

DOTA is already bigger than HL3, HL3 is a meme game. And even if they spent dozen of years and make a Vulkan game, no one would care, Vulkan works on Windows 10. No one gave a fuck about OpenGL when it was used in Rage, WTNO and DOOM. People play games, not APIs.

280x is a rebranded and slightly OCed 7970. It's 4 years old.

>HL3
>meme game
dude.

> No one gave a fuck about OpenGL
we are talking about Vulkan

>Vulkan works on Windows 10
I'm assuming you meant only windows on windows 10. and you are wrong. it works throughout windows 7 to 10, gnu/linux and macos.

Dote supports

No one gave a fuck about OpenGL and no one really gave a fuck about Vulkan, general populace talks about Vulkan as "another DirectX12" and only because MS turned on their PR machine to boast about DX12. People don't even know what it is, it's a pixie dust to them.

And I do mean Windows 10. Yes it works on 7 and 8, but by the time HL3 is there, even if it's 1 or 2 years away, many people will be using W10(around 45% of Steam today) and there's no reason to switch, because both DX12 games and Vulkan work on it.

And HL3 is a "meme" by this point.

>tell for the 380 4gb maymay
>Doom runs pretty fucking well even without Vulcuck
>most games I play don't support Vulcan

Suffering

>have r9 290
>just got a cheapo chinko korean 1440p panel
will vulkan help me too? I want good fps ;__;

NuDoom is actually really good, and id are doing a lot of post-launch support to improve sone of the flaws like the poor multiplayer

yes

Can i get a TL;DR on what the fuck is vulkan

do you know what dx12 is?

Classic meme.

Vulkan is like Mantle 2.0.

/fin

baremetal api, in otherwords the programmer gets more ability to talk to the hardware without drivers and the OS getting in the way so much so more optimization can be done.

I can get a 380x for $150 after rebate right now, would I be a fool to do this instead if wait-fagging for aftermarket 480s?

t. budgetfag

wait for 480.

o-okay... the wait goes on. Hold strong 6950-senpai

wait for 1060

I have the 380, I know the 380x has a decent bump in performance in co prison but I wouldn't go for it desu.

Buy some fresh thermal pad, thermal grease, and alcohol wipes. Give that baby a good clean up and maintenance.

>tfw 7950 still going stronk
Got it for 140$ 2 years ago. Gonna put it in a pc I'm making for my nephew using spare parts once I get my system updated. Feels gud.

unused vram is wasted vram

...

miért posztoltad ezt?

It's spelled Vulkan

nvidiashill pill

Whats this? 50-60 fps?

TXAA?

Async Compute is only enabled on certain AA

It'll reduce AMD's shitty driver overhead.

>mfw 630m

...

And where's the 1080?

My mainboard with that PoS card broke once.

youtube.com/watch?v=GlzKPBIjZPo

SMAA isn't running with async compute

>PoS
Point of sale?

Go ask ze germans - they probably didn't have one to test. Either way the fury x will most likely bbe on par with a 1080 in this scenario.

Thats impressive.
I must try my 270x

Wait explain me this.
There is no DX11 version of Doom so it only run on openGL before the Vulkan update come out?

Isn't Vulkan a better version of openGL made by same company?
Why they didn't make the game in Vulkan instead of the old version openGL?

It looks like my 7970 was a good investment.

>There is no DX11 version of Doom so it only run on openGL before the Vulkan update come out?


Correct.

>Isn't Vulkan a better version of openGL made by same company?

Not quite the base of vulkan is essentially Mantle - a collaboration between AMD and DICE.

>Why they didn't make the game in Vulkan instead of the old version openGL?

Vulkan only had its 1.0 release early this year. When doom was in development vulkan basically didn't exist in a usable form.

Vulkan is supposed to replace OpenGL. Or rather Vulkan is the new evolution of OpenGL.

Game wont be DX11 or DX12, ever since the devs only support open source OpenGL or Vulkan.

Game was in development before Vulkan was finalized probably. So Vulkan version was worked afterwards.

I see, I didn't know Vulkan just come out this year.
I guess Vulkan will be the new standard now since basically Unreal engine has been dominating the game engine market since forever.

>Vulkan
>Driver

Doom uses id Tech 6, not UE, and is an engine internal to Bethesda the same way Frostbyte is to EA and Anvil is to Ubisoft.

So... you made a jpg with Microsoft Paint writing 52FPS on top and 112FPS below. Amazing. Seems legit. Your old card can make jpgs, nice.

Why, is a 480 really that much better? Also I haven't seen a single card that is actually $200.
