The GTX480 was on a different performance level to the 5870 in DX11. In DX11 the GTX480 had a good 30% lead over the 5870. So, no, it is not idiotic to say the GTX480 had superior DX11 performance. It is the fact to say it had superior DX11 performance. It had massively superior DX11 performance. In the first GTX480 review, in Metro 2033, one of the few DX11 games tested, the HD5870 scored 0.6FPS in the highest resolution test while the GTX480 scored 18.1FPS! In the next lowest resolution the 5870 scored 18.9FPS while the GTX480 was getting a solid 31.3FPS.
You listed a bunch of other reasons that the GTX480 ended up getting a bad score, but none of them are reasons why the better DX11 performance shouldn't be a positive bullet point for the GTX480. Remember, the HD5870 scored a 9.5, the GTX480 only got 8.2.
Actually, no I didn't, I addressed it. AMD has no alternative to PhysX. However, nVidia had an alternative to Mantle, DX11 and DX10, and DX9, and their cards performed just fine using those alternative APIs.
NVidia didn't need it. Their cards were already beating AMD cards with the APIs already on the market. Mantle was a performance improving API that really only improved performance for AMD cards. Supporting Mantle would have only made it go main stream, and that would have only resulted in AMD closing the performance gap. Why would nVidia bother doing this?
I want some of that stuff you're smoking! because even on TPU GTX480 review it is only a whooping 11% faster overall than HD5870 comparing all resolutions.
