so sad, mine also using i5-4460 as well
luckily right now haswell i7 are cheap due to skylake

DOOM just released its Vulkan API support via Steam. New update is live to patch the game to select between OpenGL and Vulkan. Gonna see how it works on my rig.

ADDENDUM: Finished replaying the Foundry level, my favorite. I am well aware of the performance of my 1080 card at specific locations in the game, and unless this is placebo effect, I'm getting minimum 60fps upwards even on enemies infested locations, a steady 80++fps, and I swore loudly when I saw a few 100fps. Card is GTX1080FE OCed to 2012Mhz core 10800Mhz memory. While before on OpenGL, it was drops to upper 40s (48-49), steady 50s and spikes up to 80fps on certain locations. Gonna replay this back in OpenGL to see if this was true, or if it was simply driver optimization across the board for the game, irregardless of OpenGl or Vulkan. By the way, I'm playing on 4K Ultra settings.

Laaaaa, another score for AMD. DOOM's Vulcan Patch Release Read the last 2 paragraphs

Good news, Bethesda is working on getting Vulkan's Async Compute to work with Nvidia GPUs. From Dooms/ Bethesda Official Forum

Does DOOM support asynchronous compute when running on the Vulkan API?
Asynchronous compute is a feature that provides additional performance gains on top of the baseline id Tech 6 Vulkan feature set.
Currently asynchronous compute is only supported on AMD GPUs and requires DOOM Vulkan supported drivers to run. We are working with NVIDIA to enable asynchronous compute in Vulkan on NVIDIA GPUs. We hope to have an update soon.
Click here for additional information on asynchronous compute.

If you say so. I'm getting performance bump on my rig. This whitepaper does say Vulkan being supported on Nvidia cards. Funnily they only mention support up to 900 series. https://developer.nvidia.com/Vulkan

i hope more games be Vulkan instead of dx12 >:)

Which is really good news to hear. You already confirm that the Vulkan patch already improves DOOMs over OpenGL, and that despite Bethesda confirmation no async compute yet on Nvidia. It will only get better once they're done patching async compute for Nvidia.

Can you share why?

you need windows 10 for dx12, no? vulkan is more open, can be used on linux/mac.

Replayed the Foundry level back on OpenGL4.5, yup, the bump is there previously on Vulkan. I'm getting 95 where I'm supposed to get 100, and steady 70 instead of the 80s on Vulkan. The steady 50s was what I remembered when I finished Doom last month, they're really done well on even the OpenGL side of things.

Enough of this. Playing INSIDE now.

Ahh yes, a very very valid reason. Totally agree with you on this.

No improvement?

Async Compute again? I'm sure Nvidia is working on driver update now to get this sorted out.

was busy playing tree of savior. so i missed out on the drama

Okay, I've replayed the Foundry level again for 3 more times going back and forth with OpenGL and Vulkan, and I'm going to bed now.

Generally no difference between OpenGL and Vulkan on my GTX1080, or if there is, it's pretty much in the margin of errors. There was a difference a month back when I finished my Doom run and moved on, but there are no difference between OpenGL and Vulkan on it. If AMD cards are improving, congratulations on them, iD is working with Nvidia to get their version of Async Compute to work. Until then, I couldn't be more happier with steady 80fps with drops to 70s and highs of 100s on 4K at Ultra.

whats the price for upcoming 1060 cards in malaysia. me consider to buy if under rm 1500.

I ordered Palit's 1070 gamerock although I will not go SLI path but am on tiny case, sound card at bottom and with radiator near front panel Thickness no issue as got up to 3 slot space, but I scared it's too tall and with PCI-E power connector on top Not sure will it fit

With 970 blower design

I think as far as GTX 1080 is concern for DOOM, does not matter if Async Compute comes through or not, coz already running high fps even at 4K Ultra, unless someone who has that Dell 4K 120Hz monitor, and still want to juice whatover possible. Even for GTX 1070 impact may not be much of a concern.

But the upcoming GTX 1060, it will be more important as its more of a direct competition to RX 480, and even AMDs older cards which so far shown significant bump with Vulkan Async Compute implementation.

I noticed you made the jump from dual GTX970 SLI to a single GTX1080. Did you get the Gigabyte version?

How high or low is the temperature during load? Also, how noisy is the triple fans setup?

Noob question, will changing CPU give rise to having to "re-activate" Windows 10? I know changing mobo will do that.
