Doom
Thankfully, the Vulkan API really helps the graphics card to enjoy a considerable lead over budget NVIDIA products. As you can see, the average frame-rate almost reaches 60 and the small drop to the minimum showcases the incredibly smooth user-experience. Interestingly, the GPU’s minimum frame-rate is much higher than the R7 370 which could suggest the Polaris architecture has enhanced support for Vulkan.
Yeah, the problem really is that old stock of 950s bought by the stores pre-brexit is competitive on price right now!
There is a Powercolor 460 for sale on OCUK for £99 right now, which despite the 2GB memory does have a lot of value for money going for it, if you really really cannot stretch to buying a 470.
I feel that £130+ for a 4GB 460 is just asking too much – maybe £120 as a premium over £99.
The Vulkan and DX12 results here and on other reviews do show a lot of potential. Getting 60fps (or close enough) on 1080 Ultra in Doom is a massive achievement.
I predict a major driver release from amd with a major performance increase. Maybe not but I think so
