DirectX 12 seems at the moment a breath of fresh air for AMD, Sunnyvale's are seeing how their different graphics cards based on the Graphics Core Next architecture adapt to the new Microsoft API much better than the Nvidia options, which have dominated the I play under DirectX 11.

Ashes of the Singularity DirectX 12

The anandtech and guru3d media have done a battery of tests with the Ashes of the Singularity benchmark and several AMD and Nvidia graphics cards compatible with the DIrectX 12 API. The results are clear and show that the AMD options are always more powerful than the Nvidia equivalent. The Radeon R9 Fury X is shown as the most powerful card surpassing all the options of Nvidia. The R9 390X is shown as a very powerful option being very close to the performance of the GTX 980Ti and even exceeds it on occasion

Hitman DirectX 12

We move to another title based on DirectX 12, this time Hitman, and the tests carried out by Digital Foundry show us the same trend seen in Ashes of the Singularity with the Radeon R9 390 showing itself as a clearly superior option to the GeForce GTX 970

When watching the video we realize that the performance difference reaches almost 30 fps in favor of the AMD option, something quite remarkable for a card that is still a vitaminized Radeon R9 290 with higher frequencies and the double video memory.

conclusion

The results are very clear and show a clear superiority of AMD under DirectX 12. Such superiority may be due to the fact that the Graphics Core Next architecture adapts much better to the new API than Kepler and Maxwell, something that is not surprising if we have in Note that DirectX 12 has most likely borrowed from the Mantle code, the low-level API that AMD designed to work specifically with GNC.

Another possible explanation is that the Nvidia drivers are much more immature for DirectX 12, something that may seem strange but that we cannot completely rule out. Nvidia has always been characterized by offering much more careful drivers than those of AMD but it is possible that the reds have taken the batteries with DX12 beating their great rival.
