All the prices are approx and you might find at lower price in local pc market.   AMD OPTIONS   AMD Build: (Ultra CPU and Overclock friendly)   CPU= Amd Ryzen 9 5900X Processor - 38000 INR (abit more future proof plus it has the 12 cores/24 threads vs the 8cores/16 threads in 5800x, a better processor for editing and future gaming) MOBO= MSI MPG X570 Gaming Plus - 18500 INR / ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus - 18500 INR RAM= G.Skill Trident Z Neo 32GB (16GBx2) DDR4 320

Nvidia’s Upcoming DX 11 Driver Fares better than Mantle API – Benchmark Slides Show Surprising Results

At GDC 2014, NVIDIA talked about the new DirectX 12 API and the current state of DIrectX 11 in gaming. During the event, NVIDIA presented several benchmark slides which show how the company has improved efficiency of their graphics cards in several DirectX 11 titles and still aiming to deliver more improvements through driver updates. While showing the driver to driver improvement, these benchmarks also show something very very interesting. They show AMD’s Mantle API faring worse than NVIDIA counterparts, on DX11. That’s right, not DX12 but DX11 through driver updates.

Before we begin, the obligatory preliminaries. There are three drivers mentioned in this article. The first one is the R331 Driver, the second is the R334 Driver and the last is an upcoming Driver. We see a clear speed increase going from the R331 drivers to the R334 Drivers but it is with the new upcoming Driver that performance of the Nvidia cards overtake those of their counterparts with Mantle API. Now according to the slides the Test Rig was running Windows 7 on an i7-3930K and 8GB worth of RAM. The first relevant slide shows two applications being tested. One is the Star Swarm demo, which you may remember showed a massive increase in performance with Mantle as compared to Direct3D. The Second is the recently released Thief, which once again showed a significant performance increase with Mantle API.

Now the first benchmark Star Swarm has a normal axis ranging from 0 till 80 and we see continuously increasing performance with the Nvidia Counterparts. We see that the R9 290X gets a massive bump in performance with Mantle API but that performance is neared by the R334 Driver enabled GTX 780 Ti and overtaken by the up coming Driver enabled GTX 780 Ti.

The performance gap is pretty significant seeing that this is just a Soft update of the same card. Now the Thief benchmark have a skewed axis starting from 48 fps till 60 fps, so the performance increase is lower (percent wise) than star swarm. However we can see that the GTX 780 Ti overtakes the Mantle Equipped R9 290X once again in terms of performance, with this mysterious new update. This second slide shows some impressive improvements of API features that once again come in this new upcoming driver update.

If ture, then AMD LOL.

 

Considering they have only shown gains for the GTX780Ti instead of the complete 'Kepler' line I will view those results with scepticism.

AMD did a Good thing with Mantle

Respect for that

 

Thank you, otherwise the only thing on MicroSoft's mind is the XBox ONE and how to prop it up.

 

Also, DirectX 12 not before 2015 so a good guess is they are planning to release it along with the next iteration of Windows and ask us to upgrade.

Lol you're better off building your own PC. I have similar specs compared to that second build, but with much better case, mobo, PSU and bigger HDD for about same price. And the difference gets more ridiculous as you go up, you can easily build a 780/4670k PC under 1L with some spare cash for games.

Well technically 750 is Maxwell, but yeah, 20nm Maxwell will be epic.

 

It is also weaker than the card it is replacing in the product stack and more expensive.

Yeah Miners ke wajah se cards aur bi Mehenga hogaya hai

 

AMD pricing in India still puts nVidia to shame.

 

You know something is awfully broke when the price for a custom R9-290 is 35000/- and a GTX780Ti lands in at ~54000/-.
