Make no mistake about it, AMD's driver support for Vulkan is working wonders on the basis of this first game. That's a 40.45% gain while using AMD's card, running 21.83% faster than the more expensive GeForce GTX 1060. Some the RX 480 manages to render an additional 37.2 frames per second, while the GTX 1060 manages just 2.7 FPS. Turn Vulkan on however and the entire thing is flipped right around. The MSI 1060 is pulling in over 10 frames more a second in DOOM on Ultra, a 12% advantage. On paper the ASUS ROG Strix RX 480 is weaker than the GTX 1060, and this rings true in the standard OpenGL 4.5 tests. That's a fairly small difference, equal to 3.47%.ДЄnd the results, as you can see, are pretty sensational. In total each lasts just over three minutes and we took the average from the entire duration.ДЄsus' model comes with an out of the box overclock much like the MSI 1060, running with a 1310 MHz gaming mode clock versus 1266 MHz on the reference model. These benchmark results were taken on the exact same level as the GTX 1060 video, performing much the same run. ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 480В Vulkan vs OpenGL FPS Benchmarks Let's see if that's still the case with the Asus ROG Strix RX 480. With such a powerful CPU it felt as if Vulkan didn't have a lot to play with to really show off its advantages. Disabling four of the six cores bumped this up to a 5.37% gain, which isn't to be sniffed at. We saw this with the MSI GeForce GTX 1060, which registered just a 2.76% FPS gain.

This particular PC is kitted out with a fairy hefty Intel Core i7-5820K, which isn't ever really going to be truly stressed while playing DOOM. ItвЂ™s been likened to a console-like level of optimisation, squeezing out the maximum potential performance out of the hardware available to a user.ДЄs I said with the GeForce GTX 1060 Vulkan benchmarks however, it's a graphics API which is designed to excel in CPU limited situations. Recently DOOM was updated with Vulkan support, so boot DOOM up and you'll be given a choice of two options - the older OpenGL 4.5 or the newer Vulkan.В Vulkan is a low level API which builds on the achievements of AMDвЂ™s ill-fated Mantle, offsetting CPU usage to the GPU and more effectively distributing workloads across multiple CPU cores. The Vulkan standard has been created by Khronos Group as a sucessor to OpenGL. So a quick recap of what Vulkan is and what it means to PC gamers. Much has been made of the RX 480's bargain price (at least in some territories), but does this mean bargain bucket performance? Fair's fair though, it's time to see how it stacks up to the competition - namely the ASUS ROG Strix variant of AMD's Radeon RX 480. Last week we put MSI's GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming X 6G through its paces in a DOOM Vulkan benchmark.
