This is unfortunately very disappointing. It practically can't even compete with a 1080 at the same price, and that card has been out for a year now.
Really goes to show how far ahead Nvidia is.
- bryanlarsen 9y agoOnly on DirectX 11 games, which I could care less about. When I buy a video card, I expect it to last 2-3 years, which means that the most important benchmarks are the DX12 and Vulkan ones. Vega has a significant lead on those.
- Armisael16 9y agoIs there a serious reason to believe that DX12 games are going to start coming out? Wikipedia only has 21 games on its list: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_with_DirectX_12_support https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_with_DirectX_1...
- nsxwolf 9y agoCertainly eventually? DX11 can't be the end of the line.
- Armisael16 9y agoSorry - to expect that in the next year and a half or so (it doesn't matter if the game comes out two days before you replace your card). Also we may end up skipping to DX13.
- shmerl 9y agoNot so much DX12, but Vulkan ones yes. All major engines are now pushing Vulkan support out.
- overcast 9y agoIf you could care less, then you do care at least somewhat. There are still PLENTY of DX11 games to play, considering a lot of us have backlogs the size of Texas. DX12 titles are very limited right now.
- shmerl 9y agoVulkan titles will overtake them.
- dingo_bat 9y agoWhy do you think game studios will support vulkan when they can just target dx12 and get pc and xbox support?
- shmerl 9y agoThey already do. There are more Vulkan supported games out, than DX12 ones as far as I know. Why has many variables. But simple answer, Windows 7 is still a common target (it has no DX12 support). More deeply, because forward looking studios don't want to fall into hard MS lock-in, and growing number of studios support Linux as well. There was some good write up from Star Citizen developers on this topic, who decided to ditch DX12 for Vulkan.
- lagadu 9y agoCan you link a few? I feel like I'm missing something here because the only AAA game out with Vulkan support I can recall is Doom.
- shmerl 9y agoJust some: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_with_Vulkan_support https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_with_Vulkan_supp... Plus, more games for Nintendo Switch will be using Vulkan. Also games with common engines like Unity, Unreal and Cry (that's in the future, they basically have just added or adding Vulkan support).
