I have spent the last month benchmarking a selection of AMD and NVIDIA cards with the latest drivers on one of our new 6700k test beds. We are using the AMD Crimson Edition Display Driver, Version 16.8.1 and Nvidia ForceWare 368.81 driver.
We list each resolution test for every game on its own page – meaning if you are just interested in 1440p resolutions for instance, you can skip the other resolutions without effort. If you want to read the whole review and find all the page changes annoying – click on our menu system top right of these pages, and head to ’32. view all pages’.
We are aware the RX 470 is not designed for Ultra HD 4k gaming, but we include the results out of the sake of being thorough. There is also the possibility that if AMD do release an 8GB version of the RX 470, we will want to test it against the 4GB version at higher resolutions. Even if it is somewhat pointless in the grand scheme of things.
We are using a custom Titan Bayonet system supplied by Overclockers UK as the basis of our test system today. Read more on this system over HERE.

Where is Doom? Are we not wanting to embarrass Nvidia by showing how strong this little card does with it?
I couldn’t tell which game had DX 12 enabled, much less anything that had a “before DX12” and “after DX12” comparisons
