AMD Beats NVIDIA's Performance in the Battlefield V Closed Alpha
A report via PCGamesN points to some... interesting performance positioning when it comes to NVIDIA and AMD offerings. Battlefield V is being developed by DICE in collaboration with NVIDIA, but it seems there's some sand in the gears of performance improvements as of now. I say this because according to the report, AMD's RX 580 8 GB graphics card (the only red GPU to be tested) bests NVIDIA's GTX 1060 6GB... by quite a considerable margin at that.
The performance difference across both 1080p and 1440p scenarios (with Ultra settings) ranges in the 30% mark, and as has been usually the case, AMD's offerings are bettering NVIDIA's when a change of render - to DX12 - is made - AMD's cards teeter between consistency or worsening performance under DX 12, but NVIDIA's GTX 1060 consistently delivers worse performance levels. Perhaps we're witnessing some bits of AMD's old collaboration efforts with DICE? Still, It's too early to cry wolf right now - performance will only likely improve between now and the October 19th release date.

What? a patch and a driver update might iron it out? damn...
And your "damn..." revelation was mentioned at the end of the piece, so it's not even that we (I) tried to make it sound more than it is.
I mean, this isn't anywhere even remotely going after NVIDIA, I don't understand your attitude.
Do you honestly think the situation will remain like this for the final game?
Once the game is closer to release, I'm quite sure Nvidia driver team will be working their usual magic.
That's literally in the article.
FB3 was one of the engines being shown off with RTX.
Radeon cards have alot of potential and uncorked performance. This proberly does it the right way.
If the picture doesn't change in four months time.... when the game is actually out, then AMD can certainly pop open the champagne bottles.
That seems in line with how the cards perform. I'm sure though that nVidia will do something to "fix" it, it's a game in "collaboration with NVIDIA" after all.
It'll be ballsy to kill AMD perf, since these numbers are out.
They did similar with a game (don't recall it's name) that had DX10.1 which ran much better on AMD's cards but nVidia "managed" to get the game's publisher to remove DX10.1 in favor of the already supported DX10, which ofc ran much better on nVidia's cards.
In fact the thread is pretty pointless when you think about it.
