Intel has officially released the A380 graphics card for the mainstream market. The performance can only be said to be unsatisfactory. However, after getting the real machine card, some netizens found that Intel's graphics card is completely high-scoring and low-performance. To be specific, it is 3DMark The running score was good, but the actual game performance was far inferior to the N-card and A-card of the same positioning. Players were very dissatisfied and asked whether Intel was cheating and cheating players. Now Intel has also added "advanced performance optimization" to the driver. If this function is turned off, the graphics card's running score will be reduced a lot.
According to the test results, Intel said that this function affects the TimeSpy and Port Royal functions in 3DMark, which is the light tracing performance and the graphics performance of DX12. As for whether the DX11 running score is affected, Intel does not have much explanation. It is reported that in TimeSpy's test, when "advanced performance optimization" is turned on, the A380's running score is about 5757 points, and after it is turned off, it is 4929 points, a decrease of about 15%. However, in the Port Royal test, the performance dropped significantly. It's about 4%, basically unchanged. Therefore, this time Intel should have turned off the optimization for the TimeSpy test project, so that the A380's running scores are more in line with the real situation.
For gamers, Intel's move is really unkind. After all, 3DMark is only a small part. Specifically, we still have to look at the performance of the actual game.
