Perrformance benchmarks: Radeon Crimson Driver December 2016

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 12/13/2016 11:46 AM | source: | 16 comment(s)

In this article we'll take the AMD Radeon Software Crimson 16.6.2 - 16.7.3 - 16.10.3 - 16.12.1 drivers and test them with a Radeon RX 480.As such we'll have a quick peek at driver performance compared to several other AMD Catalyst drivers. In this article we'll fire off the multiple games from the Guru3D benchmark suite at multiple drivers with the Radeon RX 480 to see how much performance you will really gain (or not).

Read the article here.

Couple of fps gain is expected. It probably depends on the system used. Api overhead is improved but you cant tell when HH is using oc'd 5960x.

What that tells me is that some other sites used older results sets. E.g. took old results and then started testing ReLive. As explained in the conclusion, some of the games have been patched over time and (can) react differently in performance. Take for example Deus Ex, there's a massive gain in perf up-to 10% to be found with the latest patches.

However in this article all drivers have been tested with the latest patches installed. And that is the grand equalizer as only the perf differences in drivers will now be visible (and not the game patch improvements or even decreases). Also we have less API overhead due to the processor used. So DX12 perf increases could be a bit more normalized in our result sets because of that.

That's why I ALWAYS wait for a proper tests\review, and do not believe marketing slides.

A pity though games from marketing material (Ashes of Singularity in particular) didn't appear in this test.

Hilbert, since you are using the reference 480, is it still throttling with 16.12?
