Then there is DirectX 12. Nvidia PR reps were apparently releasing benchmarks into the Ashes of the Singularity database. People quickly picked up on this and started to post the GTX 1080 DX12 results across the web. The GTX 1080 results were actually beating the Fury Series [Fury\Fury Nano\Fury X] by 5%-10%. The issue for me was that the lower clocked AMD Fury [1.15Ghz] held its own against Nvidia highly stock clocked GTX 1080 [1.73Ghz]. In a specific DX12 benchmark the GTX 1080 was running on a 6 core CPU, a newer version of the game and using the “High” graphical settings and was only 2.18% faster than an AMD Fury [not Fury X] running on a 4 core CPU, an older version of the game and using “Ultra” settings. So the Fury was at a disadvantage in every category and the GTX 1080 can only manage to beat it by 2.18% once you take the CPU difference into account. This is where the architecture kicks in. This proves that you don’t need major overclocks or major core clocks to compete.

My už ale víme, že Pascal v této podobě je jen mírně vylepšený Maxwell, tedy se žádný zázrak nekoná. Díky vysokým frekvencím se už výkon nepropadá, ale také nestoupá. Zde je AMD stále o několik délek vpředu.
