AMD Vega 20 Possible Performance Spotted in Final Fantasy XV Benchmark

It would appear AMD's 7nm Vega 20 has been benchmarked in Final Fantasy XV. While the details are scarce, what we do know is the hardware device ID 66AF:C1 can be linked to Vega 20 via the Linux patches back in April. Now considering AMD has not confirmed any 7nm Vega graphics cards for consumers, It is more likely this version is an engineering sample for the new Radeon Instinct or Pro series cards.
While the Final Fantasy XV benchmark is not exactly an AMD friendly title considering the heavy use of NVIDIA's Gameworks. The fact remains, it does give us a glimpse into its performance compared to the currently available Vega based graphics cards on the market. Looking at the charts, 66AF:C1 offers performance that typically beats out the previous Vega offerings including, Vega 56, Vega 64 and even the Frontier Edition. Even so, it still lags behind NVIDIA's older GTX 1080. A few possible reasons for these results exist, first, the GPU may not be operating at peak clock speeds which is indeed possible if it is an engineering sample. However, another likely possibility is that AMD is using 7nm as a means to lower power consumption, rather than to increase performance. Like all leaks of this nature it is best to take them with a grain of salt.

ehm.NO!!!!!. I think you misunderstand vega20 a bit. AMD HAS STATED. " "Vega 20" is NOT a mere die-shrink of the "Vega 10" GPU die to the 7 nm node."

For starters, it is flanked by four HBM2 memory stacks, confirming it will feature a wider memory interface, and support for up to 32 GB of memory. AMD at its Computex event confirmed that "Vega 20" will build Radeon Instinct and Radeon Pro graphics cards, and that it has no plans to bring it to the client-segment. That distinction will be reserved for "Navi," which could only debut in 2019, if not later.

DO UR RESEARCH 1ST BEFORE POSTING NEXT TIME "EVERYONE"
ImsochoboCause if they launched a 1700$ gpu with better than 2080TI performance it'd be success?

ehm.. I think you misunderstand vega20 a bit.
it's just Vega64 -> 7nm, nothing else pretty much, at 150 W it's a better card than 2070\2080, same performance, lower power consumption, costs less probably due to die size and It'd say that is a story for success.
Unless 7nm have horrible yields but all stories point to all things good.

Edit:



well it's a very nvidia title, more than any other title I've ever seen so it's a bad for overall performance comparison, that said it's just a new RX580 in my eyes and it looks promising.
I just want 2080ti performance at not 2080 ti price.
2080ti has mighty performance but holy shit it's pricey.

ppnfor a 4096 bit card with massive 2.5x more bandwidth on the memory side, this should be (2,5+1,3)/2~ 1,4-1,9x better.

325mm2 on 7nm translates to 650mm2 on 12nm, compared to VEGA 484mm2. there are at least 33% more transistors in VEGA20
GTX 1080 Ti and RTX 2080 Ti has 88 ROPS read/write units at higher clock speeds. TFLOPS means nothing without graphics read/write units.

No brainier to why Vega 64 level GPU lands around GTX 1080 level GPUs i.e. 64 ROPS.
