Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation (DX12)
A veteran from our 2016 game list, Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation continues to be the DirectX 12 trailblazer, with developer Oxide Games tailoring and designing the Nitrous Engine around such low-level APIs. Ashes remains fresh for us in many ways: Escalation was released as a standalone expansion in November 2016 and was eventually merged into the base game in February 2017, while August 2017's v2.4 brought Vulkan support. Of all of the games in our benchmark suite, this is the game making the best use of DirectX 12’s various features, from asynchronous compute to multi-threaded work submission and high batch counts. While what we see can’t be extrapolated to all DirectX 12 games, it gives us a very interesting look at what we might expect in the future.

Good to see a GPU review up! Shame they are all impossible to buy for anything close to MSRP.matt321 - Wednesday, January 31, 2018 - link
I believe there's an error in the first chart. The 1070 TI FE has a 1x 8pin power, not 1x 6pin.damianrobertjones - Wednesday, January 31, 2018 - link
Once again: I don't really care about the max fps achieved by these cards, although nice to have, as I'm FAR more interested in the minimum rates. Can the cards maintain a healthy 60 fps, at all times, or do they dip (it low)? Etc.milkod2001 - Wednesday, January 31, 2018 - link
at 1440p yes, it canTitanX - Wednesday, January 31, 2018 - link
Guess my 580 will continue to soldier on the the time being..even in my next system build.dave_the_nerd - Wednesday, January 31, 2018 - link
A 970 would have been a nice addition to the benchmarks, since it was an incredibly common gaming card and the 1070 family is the logical upgrade path.Love your work though! :-)

A 980Ti would look nice too in those charts...b1gtuna - Wednesday, January 31, 2018 - link
Wait, 1080 costs $1K USD? I bought one at $650 in December...Le Québécois - Wednesday, January 31, 2018 - link
Same, I bought one for S550 just before Christmas. The funny thing is that I wasn't planning on a 1080, I wanted the 1070 but the price difference was only $50, probably because it was already being affected by the shortage.Seeing I was replacing a 6yo HD 7970, I'd say it's a good thing I didn't wait any longer.

Man, I was GOING to upgrade back in early December, but I didn't like the pricing situation and was gonna wait a week or two for the next funnybux crash to drive prices back down....
Yeah, that didn't work out so well.
