AMD Beats NVIDIA's Performance in the Battlefield V Closed Alpha
A report via PCGamesN points to some... interesting performance positioning when it comes to NVIDIA and AMD offerings. Battlefield V is being developed by DICE in collaboration with NVIDIA, but it seems there's some sand in the gears of performance improvements as of now. I say this because according to the report, AMD's RX 580 8 GB graphics card (the only red GPU to be tested) bests NVIDIA's GTX 1060 6GB... by quite a considerable margin at that.
The performance difference across both 1080p and 1440p scenarios (with Ultra settings) ranges in the 30% mark, and as has been usually the case, AMD's offerings are bettering NVIDIA's when a change of render - to DX12 - is made - AMD's cards teeter between consistency or worsening performance under DX 12, but NVIDIA's GTX 1060 consistently delivers worse performance levels. Perhaps we're witnessing some bits of AMD's old collaboration efforts with DICE? Still, It's too early to cry wolf right now - performance will only likely improve between now and the October 19th release date.

Come on dude get real Nvidia stocks have been decimated by miners just as much. If you feel like those numbers are skewing AMD's market share then the same is true for Nvidia as well. Otherwise if you think that all of that 65.1% market share was driven purely by sales to gamers you are being delusional.
To your absolute horror AMD will be around for quite a while even if the crypto market falls flat. Hey, if you were to look back in history you'd realize it happened before and guess what they are still around and with increasing sales and market share. How about that.
I wanna see how terrible is the time-frame between those 2 GPUs & see which one has better overall latency.

It's the aggregate that matters because most people play a variety of games.
RX 580 and GTX 1060 are both midrange cards. Performance per dollar, RX 580 actually beats all cards except the 3 GB version of GTX 1060. That said, 3 GB isn't enough in a growing number of games.
They could have tested Vega 64 and 1080 / 1080 Ti too
It would be nice to know for sure.
Anyway like Forza 7 and Destiny 2 before that, NVIDIA will release a driver that fixes the fps drop. Nothing to worry about mates.
You can spot when a game has been optimized through drivers on Nvidia during development from miles away, Destiny 2 was one of them and oddly enough BF5 isn't.
