It’s an action RPG made with Unreal Engine 4, and Lionhead Studios had very different goals when developing it here’s what the review guide mentioned. That said, Ashes of the Singularity is a peculiar game in that it displays a very high amount of units on screen and thus benefits greatly from the CPU overhead reduction under DirectX 12.įable Legends is an entirely different beast.

If you consistently read these pages, you have probably followed the controversy following NVIDIA’s mixed results with Ashes of the Singularity and the debate regarding Async Compute when applied to Maxwell architecture. What we can do, however, is to compare different components (mostly GPUs) and configurations to see how they perform in this Fable Legends DX12 benchmark (which is not based on the final version of the game, obviously). Fable Legends will be a Windows 10 exclusive on PC and as such, it’s going to be the first DirectX 12-only game. In this case, we can’t gauge the performance boost provided by DirectX 12 in any way since DirectX 11 can’t even be enabled.

However, this week we reached out to Microsoft PR and they were kind enough to provide access to the Fable Legends DX12 benchmark, which means that today we’re publishing our own results we know that we’re late to the party, but there’s a silver lining: our data accounts for the latest AMD beta driveroptimized for the game.īefore we begin, it is worth reminding how this benchmark is quite different from Ashes of the Singularity’s.

Microsoft released their Fable Legends DX12 benchmark to the press last week, and we’ve reportedon the results published by major tech sites.Īt the time, we weren’t aware of the availability of this benchmark, otherwise we would have promptly published our own article just like we did with Ashes of the Singularity.
