![]() Keeping CPU overhead to a minimum is essential when stepping up from Full HD to 4K Ultra HD resolution.Ī decade or so ago, hardware sites were asking, “Will dual core processors enhance your gaming experience?” Today, we’re looking at new processors from AMD and Intel that can have up to 18 cores in some cases. With less overhead and better utilization of modern GPU hardware, DirectX 12 game engines can draw more objects, textures and effects to the screen. Check out if these graphics cards can handle Time Spy Extreme.ģDMark Time Spy Extreme – 4K DirectX 12 Gaming Benchmarkīefore I show you the results, here’s additional information regarding Time Spy Extreme.ĭeveloped with input from AMD, Intel, NVIDIA, and the other members of our Benchmark Development Program, 3DMark Time Spy Extreme is an ideal benchmark test for gaming systems with the latest high-end graphics cards and new processors with 8 or more cores.ĭirectX 12 is a low-level graphics API that reduces processor overhead. We tested 5 of our graphics cards here using the new benchmark test: GTX 1080 Ti, GTX 1080, GTX 1070, RX VEGA 64 and RX 580. But you will need a GPU with at least 4GB of dedicated memory it is a demanding benchmark test after all. Like the Fire Strike Extreme, you don’t need a 4K UHD monitor to run this benchmark test to find out if your system can handle the Time Spy Extreme, and see if you get acceptable results. According to the company, it is the world’s first 4K DirectX 12 benchmark test, and it’s a really demanding test even more demanding than Fire Strike Extreme. Perhaps they're just doing this to match Nvidia's naming scheme used for their 1060 3GB in that market, but you would think they would have done that long ago if that's their intention.3DMark recently released a new graphics benchmark test called Time Spy Extreme. I must say that I don't really get the point of the RX 580 2048 though, since it appears to be pretty much a rename of the RX 570. I suspect there will likely be price drops for Nvidia's mid-range cards as well though, as we (hopefully) near their next generation of mid-range models. It's also possible to get the (full) RX 580 for around the same price as a 1060 3GB, despite the 580 performing at the same level as the full 1060 6GB card. Only the RX 570 gets about 50% higher frame rates, making it absolutely obliterate the competition in terms of performance. That's not to say that the 1060 3GB is a bad card, and it does at least have an advantage in terms of power draw under load, but it's only fair to compare cards against others in the same price range.Īnd on that note, at online stores in the US right now, it's possible to find the RX 570 (even the 8GB version) for about the same price or in some cases less than a 1050 Ti. Some games already show performance limitations from having only 3GB of VRAM, and that will only cause more of a performance impact in the future as game requirements climb. This is a more than two year old card that is still selling for at about the same price it launched for. ![]() If Nvidia wants to cheap out on the VRAM but still charge just as much for the card, that's their own fault. If they want to do an honest comparison of the two graphics cards it should be redone as Radeon RX 580 2048SP vs stock GeForce GTX 1060 6GB card at 1080p for gaming.How is it "unfair" that the Radeon card has nearly 3 times the VRAM for the same price? As has been said, the 1060 6GB and 3GB are not the same card, as the 3GB version has 10% of its cores disabled, similar to how the RX 570 / RX 580 2048SP is a cut-down RX 580. The GeForce GTX 1060 3GB card does not enough ram to run games at ultra high graphic settings at 1080p, at least in some cases as I have the GTX 1060 6GB version and I have had the rare game tell me I need more ram if I want to turn up the graphics in games at 1080p some times. The test would have been much more fair and accurate had they used a stock GeForce GTX 1060 6GB card. However, the GeForce took home the crown in Battlefield Hardline and Middle-earth: Shadow of War.Ģ1467098 said:This is an unfair test since the XFX Radeon RX 580 8G 2048SP has a clear advantage over the stock GeForce GTX 1060 3GB. ![]() The XFX's iteration of the RX 580 2048SP performed 6.59-17.78 percent better when it managed to best the GeForce card. The XFX Radeon RX 580 8G 2048SP Black Wolf dominated the reference Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 3GB in gaming. However, XFX's model was slower than Nvidia's offering by 2.91 percent in the Time Spy test. The XFX Radeon RX 580 8G 2048SP Black Wolf was up to 10.79 percent and 3.52 percent faster than the reference Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 3GB in the Fire Strike and Fire Strike Extreme tests, respectively. ![]() The 3DMark benchmark revealed mixed results. ![]()
