NVIDIA Releases GeForce 376.80 Beta Vulkan Support Driver

NVIDIA released the GeForce 376.80 Beta drivers. These drivers are being released exclusively through the Vulkan developer support channel, and come with bug fixes for the company's implementation of Vulkan API support. The change-log is limited to just "bug fixes," and the drivers are not WHQL-signed. If you're gaming on the Vulkan API, on titles such as "Doom," "Ashes of the Singularity," etc., you may want to grab the drivers from the link below.

btarunrThe change-log is limited to just "bug fixes,"
Vulkan SDK 1.039.1 fixes two bugs from 1.0.39.0:
  • Fix a problem where vkEnumeratePhysicalDevices would not return correct values in some situations.
  • Fix VK_LAYER_GOOGLE_unique_objects outputting warnings whenever a program uses valid extensions from 1.0.39.
NOTE: Vktrace will be unable to properly trace programs which use extensions that were introduced in 1.0.39.

Perfectly. Join the WCCFtech idiots who repeat this inanity.

Remember Fury X has 4096 cores. It's a beast. 1070 is not really high end (it's a 970 really). 1080 isn't really high end, it's just got no competition.

Titan X is what the 1080ti would give.

Yeah, Async is so broken on Nvidia - so much so they charge £1200 for a gaming card.

Oh look at this graph, a game that people actually play.






But you're right, the 1070 is only 80% faster than a 970, not really high end at all.

GTA V is a few years old, the 1070 is much more recent than this game.

You're not really making any point here whatsoever, and it has no relation to the Async comment that you're responding to.

i'm not going to call 1080 midrange just cuz a bigger physical chip than it exists, but you could have really used a better example... a dx12 one or maybe even vulkan (tomb raider, doom, bf1, forza, gears, quantum break, etc)

I want to see DOOM benchmarks!

AMD cards were destroying Nvidia cards in that game when the Vulkan patch came out.
