AMD Radeon RX Vega Put Through 3DMark
Ahead of its July 27 unveiling at AMD's grand media event on the sidelines of SIGGRAPH, performance benchmarks of the elusive Radeon RX Vega consumer graphics card surfaced once again. Someone with access to an RX Vega sample, with its GPU clocked at 1630 MHz and memory at 945 MHz, put it through 3DMark. One can tell that it's RX Vega and not Pro Vega Frontier Edition, looking at its 8 GB video memory amount.
In three test runs, the RX Vega powered machine yielded a graphics score of 22,330 points, 22,291 points, and 20.949 points. This puts its performance either on-par or below that of the GeForce GTX 1080, but comfortably above the GTX 1070. The test-bench consisted of a Core i7-5960X processor, and graphics driver version 22.19.640.2.

No thanks
300/375W vs 180 (gtx 1080) doesn't look good in performance /W. Looks like they will slide in on price: performance ratio and undercut.
Anyways seems like AMD completelly lost the battle for top cards.
Looking at the graphics score it's not much faster than my 1070 OC'd.
My 1070 OC'd does a respectable 21.169 graphics score.
Of course, that assumes this is the full 4096 core part. Based on FE's performance, I have little reason to believe otherwise, but still.At which point volta will be out and dominating what is left of VEGA.
AMD needs to deliver at launch, not a year later.
Realistically, I think the only way for AMD to be completely competitive again is a completely new architecture, on a new node, and built from the ground up
nVidia will do it just because they can right now and to keep AMDs profits down from the expensive to produce Vega.
They want AMD to continue being an underdog and let them chew on that dry bone barely covering their expenses in the graphics card division.
An OC 1070 nearly gets to ref 1080 level... :)
www.3dmark.com/fs/13034600Only if it is priced well. If it is priced like a 1070 and performs like a 1080 some people will buy it. Issue is it is still half the performance per watt and in the quiet computing scene that now exists having an extra gpu worth of heat dumped into you case is bad all around.
No.
The Geforce GTX 1080 was overclocked to 1924 MHz which is well above stock/turbo/max clocks of 1607/1733/1800 MHz. This is pretty much the best possible score a GTX 1080 can have overclocked almost to the max.
If the RX Vega at 1630 MHz is stock or even turbo, they will be in a good position. I calculate the card will be halfway between a stock GTX 1080 and a stock GTX 1080 Ti.
Rumored power consumption of 375W still suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccckkkkkkkssss.
If performance per watt didnt matter amd wouldn't have been only 28% of the market share when the 290/390 was selling.
RX Vega == Vega FE Gaming mode.
As it should be.
