Looks like Nvidia just released their own "Game ready" driver for this (And the games For Honor and Halo Wars 2) wonder if there's any performance gains though from what I've read it seems AMD and Nvidia both perform pretty well for this game although multi-GPU support for DX12 is a bit lacking though that seems to be a pretty common thing so perhaps SLI and Crossfire support will be patched in later on?
Far as driver performance gains goes I think AMD mentioned something of a 4 - 5% increase with their 17.2.1 driver over 17.1.1 so driver optimizations might not add much - unless something's completely broken. - but it's still a gain so it'll probably be similar for Nvidia although usually game profiles are ready in advance though smaller tweaks are probably still possible for some additional gains.
Well the game in question isn't too demanding either this time, visually almost identical to Sniper Elite v.3 but now supporting DX12 as a low-level API alternative to DX11 with a focus on performance.
(And the addition of async compute support.)
EDIT: Wonder if there will be a For Honor test too, though that game focuses more on online and also uses (enforces?) EAC or Easy Anti Cheat so some utilities might not be completely functional since it's a pretty restrictive anti-cheat solution with a stricter whitelist system.
(Afterburner 4.3.0 and RTSS 6.5.0 / 6.5.1 should be OK though since those got whitelisted shortly after Watch_Dogs 2 was released.)
EDIT: Huh so Sniper Elite V.4 game actually supports multi-GPU setups already, different from what I've heard but that's really nice to see.

Request
Kindly add the r9 290x card as well. I'm still running the 290x lightning and I'm very curious to know how dx12+async performs on these older cards.
Much Appreciated

As per request, GeForce GTX 970 added.

OMG, that's really happening?
Yes indeed it does and it's faster than dx11 sli.

Correct, still working on the article and need to rewrite a thing or two. That is on the to-do list.
