>Today, Futuremark released its new Time Spy benchmark for the 3DMark suite, which is loaded with DirectX 12 features to put graphics cards to the next-gen test.
>Time Spy isn’t Futuremark’s first DirectX 12 benchmark; that honor goes to the API Overhead Feature Test released in March 2015. But the Overhead Feature Test merely measured draw call performance in DirectX 11 versus DirectX 12 (or the now-defunct Mantle). Time Spy is a full-blown benchmark composed of several subtests that factor into an overall combined score. It’s the DX12 equivalent of Fire Strike, basically.
>And it lets you test with asynchronous compute both enabled and disabled, which leads to some interesting insights. More on those in a bit.
>Better yet: Time Spy’s coming to all versions of 3DMark, including the Basic Edition that’s free for personal, noncommercial use. (You can download it on Futuremark’s site or by clicking the Download demo button on 3DMark’s Steam page.) Time to start your engines, folks—at least if you have Windows 10.
>The paid-for Advanced Edition of 3DMark (which offers additional features and benchmarks) is rising in price from $25 to $30 thanks to Time Spy’s inclusion, however. If you already own 3DMark Advanced Edition, you can purchase Time Spy separately for $10. But if you buy before July 23 you’ll be able to upgrade for $5 or buy the complete Advanced Edition for $10.
Too early to tell. Vega isn't out yet and there's not enough DX12 titles to judge.

Lel, 480 is so far behind 1070, I think even the 1060 will beat it
Noah Taylor
hahahahah fucking REKT

>A $200 card is behind a $500 card
You
Dont
tell
me
Xavier Wilson
you mean a $300 card is behind a $380 card.
480 is being price gouged to shit because of the defective launch model and low yields, 1070/1080 are being price gouged to shit because of excessive demand which will normalize in a few weeks.
Sebastian Scott
Yeah I mean AMD is just budget shit, only reason to buy one these days is if you literally don't have enough money for any Nvidia
Nolan Long
>RX 480 beats OC'd 970 and 980 working as intended if you ask me
Christian Morgan
((futuremark))
is futuremark still relevant nowadays? I remember the old one 3dmark03 05 06 and vantage, I like to show my scoring on some forum lel.
Maybe the 1080 is a $100 card somewhere in the internet?
Ian Baker
>If you already own 3DMark Advanced Edition, you can purchase Time Spy separately for $10. The fuck kind of jewing is this.
Jonathan Brown
synthetic benchmarks are worthless
Ethan Baker
What games even require something more than a 970.

Its not "synthetic" shit head its running a game engine.

are you bling or just poor? >still on 1080p AND 60Hz pathetic loser
Aiden White
>$300. Where the fuck do you people keep getting this number from?I can find it here in the EU for less than that which means that you can certainly find it in the US too.And prices are rising cause its sold out almost everywhere,which is impressive considering how much stock AMD had.

3dmark isn't a charity and their benchmarks aren't made for free
if you don't like it why don't you go use the FOSS dx12 benchmark?
right after you get done fellating RMS that is

We're excited to announce that 3DMark Time Spy - our new DirectX 12 benchmark test - has been released on Steam. Time Spy is available now as a free update for all Windows editions of 3DMark, including the Steam demo.
Developed with input from AMD, Intel, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and the other members of our Benchmark Development Program, 3DMark Time Spy is one of the first DirectX 12 apps to be built "the right way" from the ground up to fully realize the performance gains that the new API offers.
DirectX 12, introduced with Windows 10, is a low-level graphics API that reduces processor overhead. With less overhead and better utilization of modern GPU hardware, a DirectX 12 game engine can draw more objects, textures and effects to the screen.
With its pure DirectX 12 engine, which supports new API features like asynchronous compute, explicit multi-adapter, and multi-threading, 3DMark Time Spy is the ideal benchmark for testing the DirectX 12 performance of the latest graphics cards.

found the inelite and chinklong.
it is true 3d mark vantage is made for ati/amd back then( I remember sapphire sponsorship were there lol), after rx480 showing up and hd 7000 series beating nv 700 series suddenly some ((futuremark)) making amd look bad well pure ((coincidence))
Nolan Morales
Get a life, hit the weights, take a shower.

Jaxon Harris
There isnt even a 4k 144hz monitor on the market you cuck
Hunter Hernandez
>benchmarks aren't made for free The whole point is if you bought it first. It's not a separate product, they're including it in the original suite. However if you already bought the suite they're saying "fuck you, you can't have it".
3DM is a benchmark. You'll use it once, maybe twice a year unless you are running some benchmark review site. Almost nobody buys it and just uses the free version.
Charging for this to people who already bought the suite is really fucking scummy.

Julian Rodriguez
the RX 480 is more than $500 currently because AMD hasn't shipped more since launch day.
>If you already own 3DMark Advanced Edition, you can purchase Time Spy separately for $10. >Time Spy is available now as a free update for all Windows editions of 3DMark, including the Steam demo. Which is it? Is it a free update for a $10 add-on?

This is from the Bethesda forums, for DOOM
Joshua Taylor
it's faster than 980 which is where nvidia is positioning 1060.
Christopher Peterson
Artificial benchmarks are irrelevant. Show me more test cases like DOOM.
Carter Miller
wew lad.
Lucas Thomas
I have a 750ti.
Should i upgrade to 1070 or wait for the new cards?
With this DX12 shitstorm all around i dont want my new card to be obsolete in 1 year
Noah Powell
Uh huh
Eli Bennett
>announced as $200 ~ $250 card >its being price gouged >can't look anywhere but ebay and amazon for non-retailers also >$380 so the rx480 is price gouged to $300, but nvidias "msrp" stands correctly without being able to find retailers selling at that price? you fucking shills are so easy to spot. its always one over priced rx480 you found on ebay or amazon by some unverified seller, vs the msrp of a card that hasn't dropped below $50 above msrp as of yet.
Justin Diaz
>amdboys call Futuremark, a neutral third party, shills for Nvidia >while they themselves keep quoting fucking Ashes of the Singularity TOP KEX
Ian White
are you retarded? the 480 is being sold for $500 (which is more than price gouged 1070s), not $300.
Bentley Lee
Who the actual fuck buys tech from amazon?Just buy it from newegg or microcenter if you live in the states.And oh yea the 1070 is finally reaching its advertised price a decade after its release,still dosnt change the original point that the 480 is a 200-240 dollar card while1070 is a full $140 (at mrsp) more expensive.The 480 isnt meant to compete with it,that would be like the 380 competing with a 980
Brandon Parker
>I care about Futuremark synthetic benchmark crap
Juan Wilson
>found it on amazon from someone who bought a bunch and are selling them over priced goodjob, compare scalper prices to retail. $200~$250 is still the price, just because you can't find it doesn't mean its untrue, I literally saw them at a local Fry's yesterday for $240.
Brandon Clark
>Just buy it from newegg or microcenter if you live in the states.
480 is perpetually out of stock on newegg and microcenter is only in like one city, i wouldn't buy this AMD trash card anyway.
>And oh yea the 1070 is finally reaching its advertised price a decade after its release,
you mean 3 weeks after launch, which is pretty short when you compare it to AMD's paper launches (like the fury x being $1000 for all of Q3 '15 despite being worse than the 980ti across the board).
>,still dosnt change the original point that the 480 is a 200-240 dollar card
the 480 is a $350-$500 card with the performance of a $200 card.
Oliver James
Havent you fucking heard, the rx480 costs $600 and nobody buys a card for that money, even the 1070 is cheaper oh my god. Now pack your stuff and buy the 1070 or 1080 and support nvidia. AMD should be bankrupt and dead so they would stop shitting all over the drivers with their async much feature.
Colton Watson
>the 480 is a $350-$500 card with the performance of a $200 card.
Let's see a pic of that chest then, Rocky Don't forget the timestamp
Jayden Smith
?
the 480 is slower than a 970.
Jayden Ross
In germany its in stock and costs the normal price

John Robinson
Is that OC even stable, lad?
Jace Reed
So, how many years of free full-featured DLC with your purchase would you be satisfied with?
I mean, jeez, you can still use the basic version of the new test for free.
Jayden Gomez
>55575011
So the 480 really does beat the 980? I'm for sure buying this card now.
Jacob Howard
There's a free version, and an advanced version with more settings.
Jonathan Collins
Are you brain dead?I guess we should have compared the 1070 to the 1080 cause it was being sold at the 1080 mrsp.The Rx 480 is a 200-240 dollar card,to be fair I dont know of other major tech retailers in the states but here in europe you can still find the 8gb for €250-260 whic isnt a huge diference from launch prices.
Jack Ross
1600mhz core/8000mhz vram
Cooper Allen
Yeah, it wants to keep voltage at 1.05 so it drops to 2100 or 2088 after a minute or so depending on the program.
Luke Morales
Wait, you can use DX12 benchmark in Windows 7?
Asher Walker
>system requirements >Win 10 64bit
Christopher Morris
Fugg
Henry Wilson
No, blame Microsoft. This is like what Halo was for Vista
Robert Collins
So for 250$ I get 80% of the performance of a card that's 200$ more expensive?
Ryan Fisher
>$400 > $800 they actually did it, the absolute madmen
Adrian Nguyen
That feel when Halo 3 never came on PC and I still don't know how the story ends.
Blake Hughes
Too bad you can't play a benchmark
Oliver Butler
What are you? Casual?
Nolan Reed

Jason Taylor
too bad you can't play DOOM on your geforce gimpworks card

Now show me the microstutter graph.
Gavin Cruz
How the hell did you get it to go that high tho? I get artifacts up the ass and driver crash when I try your numbers.
I think Polaris was supposed to really improve CF, and considering how well the 480 scales that appears to be true, so maybe microstutter isn't as horrendous as it used to.
Gavin Watson
Where's one to compare?
Isaiah Roberts
polaris wasn't intended for traditional CF, they want to push multiadapter in DX12/Vulkan
>tries to shill on amd >forgets to put the correct async enabled chart >gets smoked love how on every single charts they do have the overall score and on async enable its only the "graphics" score.. guess physics passing through compute pipeline regressing nvidia isnt something to show kek
Dylan Walker
3dmark has always had extremely good multi-gpu scaling
actual games are never anywhere close
Parker Howard
Its not like you can do anything to these cards, they're voltage locked. MSI gaming 1070 using evga precision x 16 pascal version, max power target 126%, 92 c temp target set to priority. Fan curve set around 70% at 55c. clock offset +245, mem offset +600. Rest is lottery.
John Robinson
DX12 multi-adapter has allowed up to 95% scaling so far. Modern APIs actually allow for proper parallel computing as opposed to legacy APIs like DX11.
Jonathan Thomas
Why the fuck are the AMD fans whining in this thread over these benchmarks? It doesn't show anything unexpected. AMD cards benefit heavily from async compute, 9xx Nvidia cards don't benefit at all. 1070 trashes everything AMD has to over with and without. Everything is as it should be.
I pity people who bought a 980 though.
Jaxon Martin
>1070 trashes everything AMD has to over with and without i would fucking hope a $450 brand new card would be beating old cards and a $200 card.
Gabriel Rodriguez
Considering old R9 200 cards thrashed Maxwell, this is indeed a surprise
Bentley Gonzalez
a 370 thrashes a 780 ti now, the gimping is real.
Thomas Clark
so now synthetics are back on the table? 2 weeks ago they were out kek
Alexander Richardson
It's not gimping, it's a heavily AMD optimized title leveraging the hardware
But I will say that Kepler is aging like milk, and it's pretty sad. But actively being gimped? No, there's no evidence for that
Asher Watson
DOOM is now a synthetic benchmark? Total War is now a synthetic benchmark?
Time to stop posting.
Landon Walker
Only with Vulkan on, thankfully the game still plays well with OpenGL.
