EDIT: You are not correct about all DX12 games being backwards compatible with DX11, in these cases it is just because the developers built the game with DX11 and then wrote a wrapper of DX12 over DX11. But, I now have two games that run exclusively in DX12 namely, Hitman 3 and Grid, and they run much better than the Dual API releases like in Hitman 1 and Hitman 2. In addition, his RX 580 has better thermals than my RX 480, and I understand that you are trying to take care of your card, I've had to replace my thermal paste on the RX 480 until I bought this new Chassis and I can tell you a Radeon Polaris card definitely wants constant strong airflow as opposed to my 3GB GTX 1060 which can cool itself I agree that when a DX12 game releases, the developers usually built on a DX11 option, but this is mostly for games that does not make proper use of DX12 from scratch and usually is just a wrapper of DX12 over DX11, and from my experience usually performs worse CPU-side. In contradiction, my elder brother has the RX 580 Sapphire OC Edition and I have not seen it use that much power under high load, but it probably does under certain conditions. I renember playing minecraft back in 2012 on my old laptop and having fun with 7 fps averege, like even if the game knows it wouldn't run that well on the hardware, at least let me start I see, I did not realize the TDP on the RX 580 was so much higher than my RX 480. I can't whait for the DirectX 13 to come out and make millions of systems outdated. There are alredy quite a lot of dx12 only games, and I dont think developers care too much about low end users, why wouldn't they support AMD FSR? I was suprised how small the difference was between the FX 6300 and the i5 7400, so I just keept the FX system and so far I still have no reason to upgrade. In fact I had an i5 7400 paired with the RX 580 that I bought to replace my c2d laptop, but after that motherboard's chipsed decided to self destruct, I grabbed whatever I had at hand. The 185W TDP GPU is the Highest I ever had and as a person who repairs graphics cards, I like to stay as far as possible from the Tj limit because damage caused by thermal stresses on the gpu are preety much never economically repairable and as you can see with the CPU, I keep my hardware for quite a long time. But, for a R9 2xx/3xx card there is still a chance for 30-50FPS gameplay if you use modded drivers. The thing is software emulation will only bring one so far, and even if it was still possible for say a HD 4000 card, it might not manage more than 15FPS due to the delays in emulation there will be. Might I ask why you are downclocking your RX 580 (my RX 480 runs at the default 1303Mhz stable since I bought a CoolerMaster MB511) and also which CPU is paired with your RX 580? It comes down to certain architectures on the GPU for example, from my understanding the HD 7000 series were the first GPUs to support Asynchronous Compute which is one of the main reasons why it had proper DirectX12 support, I think Nvidia only integrated Asynchronous Compute since Pascal (the GT/X 1000 series).įurthermore, this is likely why the XBOX One and PS4 is still around (other than the fact that only a handful of people can afford next-gen consoles), since the XBOX One had something similar to a HD 7790 I think with eight jaguar cores built around it. Technically, the HD7000 series can still be supported for most games, but even it is lacking some DirectX12 features. Which game is it that you are trying to play? DXVK already works for a lot of DX9 to DX11 games and I think they are working on a DX12 wrapper, but your GPU will likely require some DX12 hardware feature sets for it to work, although there is a very slight chance that this might improve your compatibility.ĮDIT: Also seems like VKD3D might be an option for converting DX12 to Vulkan, but have not tested if it works on agree to some extent, for me it is reasonable if they support a card for at least 5 years (my reason being PS4 and XBOX One is still around and PS3 had game support for 5 years after launch). For example, recently purchased WRC 9 on special on Epic games, my 3GB GTX 1060 is getting 35FPS more on the CPU than my 8GB RX 480 in DirectX 11, super annoying that AMD performs like this after spending a lot of money on their products.īack to the topic, your best bet (I would guess) is maybe using the latest NimeZ modded Radeon driver, then try to get DXVK working for the game (just be careful if it is a multiplayer game, there is a slight chance that you might get banned then). You need minimum i5 4670K single threaded performance to get a good non-DX12 experience on this card. I feel you, what's even worse than an older AMD card is when you bought a new one that they only optimized for DirectX12 or Vulkan for example, my RX 480.
