Both of these GPUs will be the ASUS Strix modelsīoth of these GPUs offer very similar performance in most scenarios and come in at very similar price points, so it will be very interesting to see which GPU will come out on top.

To represent AMD and Nvidia's Mid-range GPU offerings we have decided to use the AMD R9 380 and the Nvidia GTX 960. Nvidia GTX 980Ti (Left), AMD R9 Fury X (Right) Right now we are currently working towards updating our game testing setup, so hopefully we will be able to provide data for AMD's Polaris and Nvidia's Pascal GPUs soon. DirectX 12 Ultimate in Windows 11 provides new features like ray tracing, variable rate shading, mesh shaders, and sampler feedback. It takes games to a new level v provides a new standard for the next generation of games. DirectX 12 Ultimate is the exclusive software component of Windows 11. We will be testing this game on our dedicated GPU test rig using both high-end and mid-range GPUs from both AMD and Nvidia. DirectX 12 Ultimate is the newest version of DirectX. Now the game has been updated with a lot of DirectX 12 specific optimisation, support for Asynchronous Compute and even support for DirectX 12 Multi-GPU, which will hopefully allow the game to finally deliver greater performance under the new DirectX 12 graphical API.įor this game, we will be using the newest drivers that were available when the game released, which is Nvidia's Game Ready Geforce 368.69 driver and AMD's 16.7.1 driver, both of which are the most recent GPU drivers for either company. In Rise of the Tomb Raider, the first patch that provided support for DirextX 12 was not that well received, it was unstable, lacked support for Asynchronous Compute and more often than not provided less performance than the games DirectX 11 counterpart.

This means that right now DirectX 12 has not been used to its fullest potential in a lot of cases, especially when games are being ported over to DirectX 12 from DirectX 11 rather than being built with support from the ground up. For game developers DirectX 12 has been a huge learning process, giving them access to tools and hardware unlike they ever had before on the PC platform.
