AMD RX Vega 64 outpaces Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti in Forza Motorsport 7

[me-yeah]

Thank goodness the majority of the population don't then

PCars2 is a great example of the rather dull race simulation games out there. And I enjoy them every now and again too. But I actually preferred their earlier game, NFS Shift 2, because sometimes there are different aspects of games that different people enjoy - I love upgrading cars for example, and shift allows me to do that without having to throw comedy driving physics in there at the same time. Forza Horizon 3 is much played as well, because it's simply a hell of a lot of fun.

And when I feel like I want well simulated track battles... well, there's always assetto corsa

its a simulator, they are all boring because they are realistic, the game is used as a eSport game, its PC elites, console games are for arcade rubbish

Isn't PCars2 coming out on consoles then?

You can't compare it against games with different (lazy) devs, and game ready drivers don't mean they really are game ready. It's obvious nvidia can close that performance gap with driver improvements as the vega64 is not 23% more powerful than a 1080ti, this current performance is the result of Microsoft working closely with AMD hardware plain and simple. It's not an attack on AMD I want them to do well, but sensationalist headlines like this because of one game need to be called out for what it is, to avoid confusion to the general public on what is the better hardware.

Sure, but very little is made of the gains over time AMD make with their drivers. Other game devs work closely with Nvidia to ensure solid performance on release, so I dont really see any problem here... just the same thing as always in reverse.

No VR and a silly price tag...

As much as I want to play this after so much fun with Apex and FH3, I'll have to wait....by then there might be a few more FPS available

Its also happening in PUBG too:

That shows the 56 outpacing the 1080Ti (at 1080p)

They both suffer at higher resolutions though. Even the 1070SC is better than 64

yup, but console players won't like it as much as they like forza, the console and PC world are different markets and have been for decades, the pointless need for speed's normally get a good balance like hot pursuit, and most wanted, if most wanted did'nt have a rubbish cockpit camera

Because console players and PC players both fit neatly in different pigeon holes when it comes to how they want a driving game designed? Seriously...

[kalniel]

yup

So by definition it's a console game too, therefore console games can't be arcade rubbish per your previous statement.

Generalising based on game popularity is a very dangerous thing. I mean, do you want to admit that PC gamers massively prefer games like Peggle and Farmville (or whatever the latest equivalent is)?

Don't be daft, all PC gamers prefer plating The Sims. I thought everyone knew that...?!

I'm more of a noughts and crosses man myself

Can't beat Windows XP Pinball though, right?

[ajax2061]

glad to see my fury still useful shame about the loot boxes with this game though kinda puts me off it

New 387.92 NVIDIA driver closes the gap, the story just got updated at ComputerBase: now GTX 1080 is beating RX Vega 56 at 2560x1440 and is very close at 1920x1080.

GTX 1080 Ti not yet tested with the new driver, will almost certainly beat the RX Vega 64 at 2560, and maybe at 1920 too.

New NV driver drop just as I suggested. 15-25% gains in forza according to NV...LOL.

[DanceswithUnix]

New NV driver drop just as I suggested.

As did I in post #4 of the thread as this is hardly a new thing.

Allegations of reduced image quality just to win benchmarks in 3...2...
