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.

Today's game at 4K is tomorrow's game running at 1080p in terms of load , things evolve.
A week ago and in 27 games, the 1060 is 3% faster overall. Despite the mystical delusions of FineWine and despite DX12 and Vulkan games.
Also keep in mind DX12 was beyond buggy with BF 1 and most players including me went back to DX11 just to even get the game to be stable. It's an example of why numbers this early are kind of like taking a bite of food that's half cooked and trying to decide how good it will be when it's finished.
No problem nVidia will soon bribe DICE so they let AMD cards run slower.
Here's what's gonna happen - the game launches in october, nvidia wins by +5% in dx11, amd wins by +5% in dx12, both gtx 1060 and rx580 run 1080p/60 no problems. Amd fanboys keep complaining about gameworks even though they're so demanding that rx580 gets 35 fps and 1060 gets 40 fps and neither 580 nor 1060 owners even think about enabling them seriously but adoretv has new "material" to work with.Here's a soothing tune for you
