GTX 1060 vs RX 480 - OpenGL vs Vulkan: Which Performs Better?

2016-07-20
hey what's going on tech fans welcome back once again to Tekken tomorrow where we finally get a chance to actually do the testing with the Vulcan AP I just want to address a couple of things though you crazy ass AMD fans out there who say that I'm paid by Nvidia to make AMD look bad are you crazy why the hell would I ever do that I've never taken a penny from anybody and if I did it says sponsored video and in fact in my entire history I've only gotten a wee bit of money from Nvidia and that was for a shield video has nothing do with video cards I've never taken a penny from the PC industry that's not my style so without that said though I will explain we just didn't have time to do the Vulcan API because we were moving so we got our scores and moved and finally got to film but we didn't have that but today we've got it in-house and you guys will see if at an Open GL the GTX 1060 wins against the 480 the 480 however does pull ahead when you use the Vulcan API by a few frames per second maybe seven to ten so with that said though let's check out some footage in 1080p and both OpenGL and the Vulcan API let's rock out and let's check this shit out and real quick for you folks who follow the channel you probably remember the Icarus system it was a system that we built we made actually two versions of it and if you guys want to check that out we'll have a link down below to all the parts for that system it's completely AMD based basically folks it's a 970 chipset with an FX 8350 with that said though let's check out the footage and see what's up so first up let's check out doom and OpenGL on the GTX 1060 the facility will not allow you access to the turbine room unless the demonic threat level is brought down inside the foundry and now let's check out the Vulcan API on the gtx 1060 the facility will not allow you access to the turbine room unless the demonic threat level is brought down inside the foundry Wow Kocher stay stay demonic threat reduced by 25% here's the andr X 480 doom OpenGL overwritten Wow core temperature rising and now here's the AMD R X 480 using the Vulcan API the facility will not allow you access to the turbine room unless the demonic threat level is brought down inside the foundry Wow core temperature so like I blame lease at the beginning of the video obviously new right at the get-go that the Vulcan API was scoring better on the 480 than it is on the 1080p so as far as future proofing goes okay right at this moment you can see that there is a difference but as far as being completely future proof I just think that you have to take into your mind that if all of a sudden you know a Cygnus computing becomes the number one thing then obviously in video is probably gonna come up with a hardware solution so for right now sure if there were 20 games out there right now or even 10 games I would definitely say hey wow this is a big thing with only one game though I have to stress this I mean obviously yeah in the future it's going to show that AMD is gonna have great strengths using the Vulcan API that's obviously a fact but you can't say that from a year from now that Nvidia is just gonna sit back and be like they're gonna come up with a solution that's just how the game is played and if you've been in this game at all I don't know if you're five years old twelve you still know what's up this is how the game is constantly played one guy comes up with the card they come up with technology boom they're in the head the next guy I did that they jump ahead it's a leapfrog back and forth back and forth some companies are just that way and these two are some of the biggest companies in the rival it used to be pretty much no Intel AMD but then AMD went the video cart business and all of a sudden became invidia and AMD used to be an ati world for those people out there who know it so I'm Mel Eric you guys can see right now yeah the Vulcan API definitely shows serious frak and promise on the AMD side of things and that's great and I'm completely happy about that because at the end of the day I'm a tech fan just like you and I want to buy what's best for my money and like I said if I would have tested this and there were ten games right now that we're all the newest games at every single one of them ran better with the Vulcan API I would definitely say that overall the 480 is a better card but at the moment there's only one game so peace out the links will be down there below for arrow the information for the test system as well as for links for both the 480 and the gtx 1060 in fact we have more stuff coming more gtx 1060 stuff and more 480 see here on the channel
