it does if you attempt to access the last 0.5 gb
I was unclear with that, I meant actual performance index
Ah.
It sits somewhere near the 480 in DX11 games
Sometimes being faster
And since you can clock it up to a 980 terms of pure speed, it's definitely an attractive option now
Presumably, the 480 is better optimized for future DX12 games though
It is
But the thing is
Nvidia's DX12 optimizations haven't been very impressive
I dont give a shit about new games that very much
If it can handle the games I already have well
My mobile lifestyle precludes me to having an APU-based m-ITX build though
You have to remember all games up until now is DX11 based
correct
Or the Razer dock ™
m-ITX with scorpio APU
APU's are comfy though
With DX12 MultiGPU (if used) I can just assume they will use influence to keep SLI etc standard API being used
or am I out of my mind now ._.
I'm one of those guys that's waiting on what Zen has to offer in terms of APUs
Must be better than Bulldozer/Excavator cores
(and other CPUs in general)
Well
I think many are in this boat
Cause upgrading from an Intel platform to another Intel platform doesn't really give alot of performance boost
Alot of people are still sitting on Sandy Bridge rigs
I looked at Intel performance gains
minimal
It was so nice to just buy old server CPUs when they got dumped
And get the most awesome H.265 encoding speed ever
It doesn't, since Intel's been focusing the majority of their R&D on ***muh optimization***
for great value
so, power efficiency
But Intel has decreased nm, consumption haven't they
I believe so
I'd also recommend AMD APU's in a heartbeat for HTPC builds though*
Lappies get most of the performance gains of Intel iterations
Yeah, can just see this comfy mini-ITX with AMD APU
