The Ashes of Singularity benchmark run can be broken down into four segments. We did so above with the HIGH quality preset. Just focus on your average batches I'd say. Again this is QHD at 2560x1440.

Once we drop the quality mode to CRAZY we see something seriously interesting, AMD takes a strong lead. We even see a GTX 980 Ti dropping below the 390X which tells me that Nvidia has some work to do with optimizations or enabling a thing or two, DX12 ASYNC Compute perhaps? In regards to how relevant the CRAZY settings really is for gaming right now, that remains topic of discussion and debate of course.

But let us move onwards to mixing up some GPUs, what the new benchmark and this article really is all about.
