Meh, no surprises here. Not only is it a gameworks title, but Bethesda's creaky DX9-era engine has always been particularly sensitive to driver overhead.
of course if you test AMD hardware with gameworks features on performance tanks.
This being such a large release makes you wonder if AMD has a driver ready for this game, AKA omega 2.0 rumors.
I really hate gameworks stuff, Nvidia people who think it's a good idea should be dragged by their genitals into a burning pit of fire. Nearly every game with gameworks features runs like complete garbage.
GW has nothing to do with it. AMD's issues are poor tessellation performance and high driver overhead.
Direct your hate towards AMD, for having significantly higher driver overhead than Nvidia.

Just turn the Gameworks features off if you don't want to use them. They are not required! Then again, I don't think these results have anything to do with Gameworks.

I expected hit/miss performance with this being a Bethesda game and all, but this is just bad. Hoping for a hotfix or driver updates soon from both sides
Regardless of AMD clearly doing bad here (wasn't unexpected to be honest knowing bethesda and nvidia's relationship overall) the game itself doesn't look good and yet the performance is worse off than games that look much better.. like GTA V for example.
I can excuse less than stellar graphics, but the performance for the visuals offered is a joke at it's current state. Nvidia or AMD.

I'm so sick of seeing this. PC gaming has been incredibly disappointing lately and it makes me sad to see the trend continuing.
I'm torn because I've been waiting years for this game but I feel like I should cancel my preorder on principle.
