Vulkan in Rainbow Six Siege Tested - A major boost for modern graphics cards
1440p Testing

1440p Testing
At 1440p we see similar results to our 1080p comparisons. Turing, Polaris, Vega and RDNA graphics cards continue to benefit greatly from Rainbow Six: Siege's use of Vulkan, but Nvidia's older Pascal architecture fails to see any major changes.
Below we see that Nvidia's RTX 2080 Ti benefits a lot more from using Vulkan at 1440p, further suggesting that the graphics card's 1080p performance was CPU limited.

That's a huge performance jump. It makes me wonder why more developers don't use Vulkan. It seems to be consistently a good performer. There are a couple of outliers if I remember rightly, but generally it's been consistent for developers to eek out the most from their engine.Quote

Other than that based off my 2 runs of DX11/Vulkan with my GTX 1080, I came to the same conclusion, but holy moly what a difference Vulkan makes for everything else! We were CPU limited before and that 2080ti basically gained 30 FPS at 1440p. That's insane. What is even more interesting, is Ubisoft said in their testing of Vulkan vs DX12, Vulkan offered better CPU performance. I'm not surprised with a 2080ti making that big of a jump. This is probably one of if not the best modern API implemnation in any game. Seems to be stable too. I will stick to DX11 with my GTX 1080, just for sake of stability, but if they can continue to improve then I will switch over eventually. |

im curious now how from a pure gaming perspective AMD holds up against Intel. Since Intel still has that edge.
