Radeon RX Vega loses to GTX 1080 at 1080P

[cozz]

So TweakTown has just written an article claiming that the Radeon RX Vega loses to GTX 1080 at 1080p.

 

They sourced KitGuru who found the results on TechPowerUp's benchmark database.

This seems a bit off. At best.

If this is true, why would AMD design a card that is barely a performance improvement over their R9 Fury X which in "technology time" is a very long time ago,

Here's the thing about AMD graphics cards lately: they age well. The GTX 1060 was ahead of the RX 480 in almost every respect when the two cards launched. Over time, the 1060 hasn't really gotten much better, but the 480 has caught up to it and then some in many scenarios. Even if Vega is that far behind when the curtain comes up (it won't be), it will continue to improve with time and driver refinements while the 1080 is stuck dead in the water.

 

It may not beat the 1080, but it will certainly outperform those numbers.

Whaaa....

"GCN 1.3"

 

GCN 1.3 = R9 300 series

[-rascal-]

The card isn't even tested.

The performance % is based on the 'white paper' specs (e.g. GPU Core frequency, memory bandwidth, Floating-point performance, etc).''

 

It's quite literally like:

i7-77## 5.5 GHz vs. i77## 4.5 GHz >> performance difference is 22.2%

 

Or:

Car #1 has 500 BHP, and redlines at 5000 RPM

Car #2 has 450 BHP, and redlines at 8000 RPM

From these numbers... because of 500 BHP...Car #1 will be faster from 0 - 60 MPH. 

 

Review samples haven't even been shipped out yet.

It's not. 

 

1.0 = Most of the 7000 series and their rebrands

1.1 = Hawaii and a couple of the 7000 series 

1.2 = Tonga and Fiji

1.3 = Polaris

1.4 = Vega

1.5 = Navi

mmmmm % benchmarks, what flavor are they?

What if its a Fury that uses less power and then next tine time in the 600 series it will be refreshed and power concerns will go out the window like it did with RX 480 to 580? o3o

I would take that with a pinch of salt. 

Real benchmarks before real appraisals.

You'll find that this is based off the tFlop value, and in doing so, it's incredibly innacurate.

Whaaaa

Still thinking 1.2 is 1.3 because 1.2 = GCN 3rd Generation

Goodguy TPU, lets put our expectation for the card low.

[Mick Naughty]

They both seem like bad cards.
