What api is best for a AMD card?
I have a 6900xt and was wondering what api is better optimized for AMD

Probably DX12.

Been awhile since I had AMD but Vulkan should be nice.

Meh.... we had to nerf the visual fidelity a bit on Vulkan to make it work. DX12 is your best bet on AMD since it supports all the features from the time.

Oh wow, thank you both for the info.
I would have also guessed Vulkan just because it has always favored AMD in the past .
That is good to know about the visual quality downgrade on Vulkan.

Can you go in to a little bit more detail on why that was the case? Is Vulkan a dying api?

Not at all, but remember we implemented it back when it was first released, so it wasn't where it is now.

Yeah, If I remember correctly. You were the first big go to benchmark for DX 12 and Vulkan

I don't have an AMD GPU, but just to compare the renderers for others who may wonder which to use.

I got 72.2 fps in DX11.
84.6 fps on DX12.
64.5 fps on Vulkan

For my GPU (RTX 3080 Mobile) DX12 is clearly the way to go.

Great, thank you!
Did you happen to notice any visual downgrade when running Vulkan?

Looked the same to me, but it resulted in the lowest fps by a large margin, so still no reason to use it IMO.

3900 here, still DX12 I am guessing?
Oh, and also is v3 out, or is it "coming" out? Cause the blurb said it was released, but I was not sure if it was beta or final.

3.0 is released. The GeForce 3080/90 should be fine with DX12.
