The performance results make me wonder if EA cocked up optimization for AMD cards, or if AMD did. Given the history of both companies and their relative incompetence, both are likely.
Frostbite isn't a new engine, this shouldnt still be happening.
GCN's problem is that its old. It's not that "AMD makes workstation cards ONLY, STOP COMPARING THEM!!1!!", AMD didnt have much in the way of funding, and all of it went into ryzen, so GCN was left with table scraps. That has gotten them into their current position. GCN was given more compute power because, at the time, compute was seemingly the wave of the future for gaming, and GCN's first technical competitor was Fermi, a very compute focused design. And when the 580 and 590 came out, nobody was typing "THESE ARE NOT GAMING CARDS OMGZZZZ!!!1!!"
AMD has made, and continues to make, gaming cards. Nobody is claiming the RX 580 is a compute card, anybody who does is a fool. Vega was a bit of a mistake, we all know that, just like the tesla titan was a mistake. Navi is their first large adjustment to their main GCN arch, while I dont think it will be anything near the VILV5/4 > GCN switch, NAVI will undoubtedly make large efficiency gains, and I wouldnt be surprised if compute on consumer models was cut down to make the cards more competitive in the gaming segment.

So was Kepler a "workstation" GPU as well? Should we have not called the geforce 680 a "gaming GPU"? Because GCN was a near 1:1 foe for Kepler.it accually is very relevant vega's fill rate is garbage
to the people that don't get it ill make it as clear as I can
AMD Does not make gaming cards, they make workstation cards that happen to play games
and no I don't care how they are marketed they are workstation cards because thats the only thing GCN is good at which is compute
huge difference there is absolutely no point in comparing amd to nvidia anymore when it comes to gaming they can't and do not compete so just STOP just STOP IT
