What am I looking at here..

 

Maybe they tweaked the OpenGL rendering pipeline for new GCN GPUs (mine is an old GCN 1.0 one)

 

Anyone other than me can test 15.4 vs 15.5?

So AMD getting consistently worse when it comes to not-so-old hardware support and OpenGL. I don't quite understand what Bikerdude is hoping for with AMD, but of course there is always a place for a miracle :)

Interesting report from my The Talos Principle installation ( http://store.steampowered.com/app/257510/ ) on the Radeon (7850) PC :D

So here's the performance hit on OpenGL!

 

AMD

 

*D3D9->OpenGL - (72.7-43)/72.7=40%

*D3D11->OpenGL - (71.8-43)/71.8=40%

 

NVidia

 

*D3D9->OpenGL - (54.1-41.9)/54.1=22%

*D3D11->OpenGL - (59.8-41.9)/59.8=29%

 

 

AMD must really work hard on the OpenGL side :D

And the Radeon 7850 has the same absolute OpenGL performance of the GeForce 750 Ti (40 FPS)

Does it mean that AMD 7850 just a crappy GPU and R9 line is better ?

No! The GPU is good (see the brilliant D3D absolute performance) but OpenGL support is crappy compared to NV :D

This will not affect TDM but i bet that on Vulkan (the new OpenGL) AMD will be as good as Nvidia (or better), why, because Vulkan was made from Mantle the AMD API.

Or rather with the Mantle API in mind. After all, DirectX 12 follows the direction of Mantle as well, which means less overhead and more fps.

Yeah but this is OpenGL 2.1 (!!!! -> http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_Talos_Principle ) and the the performance is terrible (40% is the degradation percentage :P , NVidia is only at 25-30% )

 

P.S.: Yes, it's really OpenGL 2.1, it can look majestic (take a look to Talos screenshots).

No AMD gave mantle to the OpenGL guys so they didn't add to start from scratch, in a sense Vulkan IS Mantle or at least Mantle+.

I don't think The Talos principle runs on OGL 2.1 on windows, i'm sure it is D3D 11.

You can select the OGL rendering path on Windows too (see my tests) and the devs say it's OGL 2.1 :)

 

Astonishing yield!

Well, I think this is actually good news. My dear hope is that no-one will be using DX12 for the simple fact that most gamers still use Windows 7 (which will not get an update), and also because of the interoperability of OGL/Vulcan. After all, why go to the trouble of developing two rendering paths of one is not only sufficient but also has no performance penalties?

Yes i concur but we all know how microsoft has deep pockets, they can just pay some developers to use Dx12, they also have Xbox one so developers wanting to support it don't have other option but use dx12, so for windows and Xbox exclusives you will see many dx12 games, and because not all GPU's support dx12 and Vulkan, we will see many games still supporting dx11 and OpenGL.

 

In reality this will be a nightmare for many game engine and GPU's drivers developers, in the old days they only add to support dx10/11 or OpenGL, now they will have to support dx11, dx12, OpenGL, Vulkan and the Apple graphics API Metal, i really pity them.

From memory, the xbox and ps4 are both using HD7xxx series gpu's, so neither of the next gen consoles will have dx12 either, unless they release a refresh of the consoles with the newer AMD hardware. The AMD page for the 7800 series says direct x 11.2

Intel Sandy Bridge i7 2600K @ 3.4ghz stock clocks
8gb Kingston 1600mhz CL8 XMP RAM stock frequency
Sapphire Radeon HD7870 2GB FLeX GHz Edition @ stock @ 1920x1080

It's really interesting, it seems that the OGL driver of AMD can't process (won't process?) the scene using all the GPU resources:

      I posted about it before, but I think the default tdm logo video looks outdated. For a (i.m.o.) better looking version, you can download the pk4 attached to this post and plonk it in your tdm root folder. Every mission that starts with the tdm logo then starts with the better looking one. Try for example mission COS1 Pearls and Swine.
