Uhtdred 243 Posted Thursday at 09:15 PM (edited) Anyone has this GPU? If you have it, can you tell me if it's working properly while playing APB? I plan to replace my GTX 1650 Super with this new GPU. Edited Thursday at 09:36 PM by Uhtdred Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deadliest 388 Posted Friday at 01:46 AM Makes 0 difference when playing apb. you want real performance gain go with amd ryzen 7 9800xD 500+fps Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I plan to replace my GTX 1650 Super with this new GPU. Arc/Battlemage GPUs do not perform well in OpenGL & D3D9–D3D11 (DX9–DX11) titles due to their driver overhead penalty. APB is a D3D9 title, all effects render on the CPU. The driver causes massive stuttering even in CPU-limited scenarios, where the GPU usage is low. This is just a driver software limitation, perhaps a architectural limitation to some extent as well since Intel focused (& still focuses solely) on D3D12 (DX12) performance only. Even Vulkan was subpar on Arc & Battlemage cards, last time I checked. I would, instead, recommend you to go for a ≥12GB VRAM Nvidia GPU, at minimum Ampere (30-series) architecture or newer. There's a reason their usage market share is that large. Edited Friday at 05:44 PM by sweetLemonade 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
