AMD Radeon Shows Strong performance with Battlefield V Closed Alpha
From the looks of things AMD seems to be doing pretty well when looking at performance and the closed Alpha release for Battlefield V. In a quick test a GeForce GTX 1060 6GB was put up against a Radeon RX 580 8GB at both 1080p and 1440p, and the results are interesting.
Overall the Radeon RX 580 performed over 30% faster. Interesting. Then again, where the previous battlefield was an NVIDIA sponsored title, Battlefield V we're not sure of who has the partnership this round (though we're pretty confident it's NV though). In the end, I'd like to mention, this is an ALPHA release, drivers have not been optimized and likely nothing has been tuned. Hey, for all we know it's image quality related. Have a peek at the results that PCGamesN reported, incl DX11/DX12 measurements. Allow me to be realistic here though, with an Alpha release this early in the development stage, the numbers mean absolutely nothing.

Last time i checked the RX 580, was just plain stronger than the GTX 1060 right? so shouldn't be shocking that it is losing. Specially when least here in the UK you can get a GTX 1060 for around 40-70 pounds cheaper than the RX 580, depending on what Gb model you want

...and consumes 80-90w more on stock compare to 1060 :p
But who cares, my old setup with 2x 780ti classified on water + 3930k @5.2ghz consumed 1700w from the wall

Used 2x 1200w psu's

Which is why my G-Sync 1440p monitor is the best hardware money I've ever spent. Albeit, the g-sync cost vs free-sync really chaps my ass, but all of those examples are playable with either Gee/Free with minimal input lag and no tearing. It gives older cards fresh legs. If you are playing BF1 online, ultra settings are not a wise choice anyway, and the argument still holds true, since most of these monitors use high refresh rates.
