MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X Benchmarks (DirectX 12)

Ashes of The Singularity

NVIDIA and AMD have been tweaking performance of their cards for Ashes of the Singularity since the title released. It was the first to make use of DirectX 12 API and the first to leverage from the new Async compute technology that makes use of the DX12 renderer to improve performance. Here, the GTX 1080 Ti deliver a good increase over the GTX 1080 at both 4K and 1440P resolutions. The AMD cards have had a slight edge with the title since launch but nothing new in the high-end department has come out from the red team since Fury X. We will test this title again once Vega hits the road.

Battlefield 1

Battlefield 1 takes us back to the epic bloodshed that was World War 1. Using the latest Frostbite tech, the game does a good job at looking gorgeous in all ways possible. From the open ended environments to the intense and gun blazing action, this multiplayer and single player FPS title is one of the best Battlefield's to date. The GeForce cards show a strong performance in Battlefield 1 with the GTX 1080 and GTX 1080 Ti scoring over 100 FPS at 1440P and the latter delivering more than 60 FPS at 4K resolution while delivering maximum visual quality.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

Using the new Anvil Next engine that was developed by Ubisoft Montreal, Ghost Recon: Wildlands goes wild and grand with an open-world setting in entire Bolivia. This game is a tactical third person shooter which does seem an awful lot similar to Tom Clancy's: The Division. The game looks pretty and the wide scale region of Bolivia looks lovely at all times (Day/Night Cycle). Here, the GTX 1080 Ti is the only card that manages to break past the 65 FPS barrier at 1440P and 45 FPS barrier at 4K on full quality settings.

Hitman (2016)

With the latest drivers, NVIDIA has managed to up the performance of their Pascal and Maxwell parts in Hitman (2016). The game has been a major win for AMD graphics cards that still show a strong gain in performance when switching over from DX11 to DX12 but NVIDIA is slowly catching up with their drivers game. Here, the GTX 1080 Ti delivers more than 70 FPS at the highest settings on 4K resolution. That's almost twice the FPS of Fury X.

Rise of The Tomb Raider

Rise of the Tomb Raider is one of the most beautiful game that I have played recently and was patched to the DX12 API. The game features a wide variety of settings and we chose Very High, HBAO+ without any AA. The game managed to hit 60 FPS on the 1080 Ti at 1440P and over 100 FPS at 4K.
