Radeon better for DCS than Geforce?

[Wali763]

This could be interesting....

 

Considering, that DCS in many situations is CPU-limited (not in Syria!) it - if those findings prove to hold true in DCS - could be very beneficial using a Radeon-Gpu.

 

Main takeaway from the vid is, that Radeon GPUs have about 20% less overhead than Geforce-GPUs in CPU-limited situations.

 

Going to 15:39 one can see that the Geforcedriver seems to use 10-20% more CPU than the Radeondriver. Thats 10-20% more CPU-power that can be used very well for other things (hence more fps) as we all know in DCS.

There might be something to this, it might be the reason why frame-times with the new Radeon cards seem to be more stable in DCS World. Who knows really, Nvidia does need a few more driver updates this generation to catch up but they will probably get there too.

This one's interesting as well (from 2017):
 

 

Apparently this is by design: hardware scheduler (AMD) vs software scheduler (nVidia).
