I was curious about this since I had no idea what the game was.

AMDOMINDATION
Why are they using shitty game for example? They talked about DOOM why not just use that instead

Fury X CF scaled more than 100% in Assassin's Creed

One of the main points of DX12 and Mantle is that they make Crossfire and SLI much more efficient and usable, without direct need of driver optimizations for each and every game.

>180w vs 2x150w is more efficient
GTX 1080 is $599 and doesn't have multi-GPU issues and doesn't output 300W of heat like 2 GPUs

One specific game on one specific card.
I'm not being a nvidiafag, I've used crossfire and SLI before, never ever again.
>>54856063
Sure but the majority of games won't be DX12. I'd be very suspicious of claims that this shit is fixed, this stuff is a decade old and it's ALWAYS been trash. That goes for SLI and Crossfire.
>>54856110
>GTX 1080 is $599
It's that meme again...
>>54856110
but the 1080 does have multi-gpu issues.

It's a game that favors AMD cards

They won't be DX12 right now, but they will all be DX12 in the future. Just like DX11 games took a while to be released at first when DX9 was big, now DX12 games will also take a while to be mainstream. In 2-3 years, nothing will be released in DX11 anymore.
What do you mean by "majority of games won't be DX12"? DX12 offers performance boosts to pretty much any card that can use it, even if not made for it, and at worst, offers no difference at all in performance, not better or worse. There's no downside to using it, especially for gamedevs.
Look up SLI/Crossfire on DX12. They made significant improvements on them. There's even ways to SLI/Crossfire cards with Nvidia+AMD cards, that's an actual thing that works right now, and gives significant performance boosts over AMD or Nvidia-only SLI/CF. Ashes actually runs better on a FuryX/980ti CF than on a FuryX CF or 980ti SLI, no kidding.
There's no denying that CF/SLI might just become an actual thing with DX12.

Also, there's no way of knowing if this will be a thing in the future. 10 dollars says Nvidia will find a way to not allow Crossfire with different cards, and I'd bet even more on them not allowing to Crossfire with AMD cards.

Gee I wonder why AMD made that comparison.
>>54856014
This is so true. Sadly. I own two R9 390Xs and it's been horrible.

Kek, it doesn't work properly and won't in the near future.
