Until a driver actually enables that feature properly, everything else is just speculation.

That was the problem: The nvidia driver reported the async compute capability but when oxide enabled that feature then the performance was worse.
Apart from that Nvidia has a long history lying to their customers, but their sales shows: Customers are very forgetful or dont care.

- sabotages the performance of competitors with gameworks software (eg. disable physics hardware support if secondary AMD card is detected)
- selling expensive g-sync modules to display manufacturers which mostly act as drm blackbox
- were the first who introduced excessive rebranding (8800GT/2007 -> 9600GSO/2008 -> GTS150/2009 -> GTS240/2009 -> GT330/2010)
- driver cheating in some 3d benchmarks
But I am not forgetful in this respect, and try to avoid buying products from such companies.
