NOTABLE PRESS QUOTES

“Unfortunately for NVIDIA owners, DX12 runs slower in Ashes of the Singularity, similar to what we experienced with Rise of the Tomb Raider under DX12. Even though we are using the latest drivers dated March 28th, only 3 days old, AotS doesn't yet seemed to be optimized for the DX12 Green experience. AotS has been on the forefront of media journalists for quite a while with many early beta benchmark results provided. NVIDIA knew Ashes of the Singularity was releasing

today, and now here it is, and yet NVIDIA just doesn't deliver the DX12 experience that AMD does.”

HardOCP

AMD clobbers Nvidia in updated Ashes of

the Singularity DirectX 12 benchmark – Joel Hruska, ExtremeTech

“The Radeon cards show a big performance improvement by switching to DirectX 12 while NVIDIA cards are affected negatively when DirectX 12 is enabled. This was the same case with Ashes of the Singularity where

NVIDIA cards showed little to no performance increase when switched

from DirectX 11 to DirectX 12” WCCFTech

“NVIDIA GeForce 364.47 WHQL Driver Released, Is Causing Issues For Windows 10 Owners Everywhere” GamingBolt

“AMD’s Radeon GPUs perform exceptionally well in The Division, with

Radeon R9 390 outperforming the GeForce GTX 970 at all resolutions. For lower price ranges, the R9 380 was also

consistently ahead of the GTX 960 throughout.” TechFrag
