AMD Radeon RX Vega (Consumer version) Spotted in 3DMark FireStrike
Performance figures of a Radeon RX Vega have surfaced in 3DMark, this is not the Frontier edition but looks to be the one of the consumer models to be released and announced (hopefully next week) as it carries an 8GB graphics memory entry.
The RX Vega sample is clocked on a really noce 1630 MHz, the HBM2 memory runs at 945 MHz. The card as stated is listing back as a 8GB version. The Futuremark ORB shows that three tests have been run and return graphics scores of 22,330 points, 22,291 points, and 20.949 points. So, 22K on the GPU score is roughly comparable towards (actually pretty spot on) the GeForce GTX 1080, but well above the GTX 1070. I am talking a Founders Edition here, not a tweaked model. It obviously is unclear if the entries are based on the air or liquid cooled version.
On a sidenote: these entries seem for real, they are listed with a user tag called 'TheGameTechnician'. Look that up and you'll spot a name, Jason Evangelho. And yeah Jason would be the Sr. Technical Marketing Specialist at ... AMD.
** update - apparently some people are willingly not seeing our source link at the top where the original material was sourced from, the screenshots are courtesy of videocardz as linked there (as we always do).

Running these on an Intel 5960x seems a bit suspicious.

If they sell it for $400 it will be competitive but I can't imagine AMD wanting that. It's a far bigger chip than the 1080, HBM2 is more expensive and the WC edition can't be priced that much more, so it's only going to eat into margins further. Next year they plan on refreshing it on 7nm with higher clocks (presumably) maybe that will be the crutch for the architecture, but so far it looks like the "hardware everything" that RTG wants (I guess because it requires less software developers) is a problem for efficiency and cost.
With Nvidia already shipping GV100 parts and consumer based variants most likely out in Q1 2018, I can't see AMD selling many of these, outside of miners maybe.
I'm hoping at lower clocks it's far more efficient for Ravenridge's sake.
The benchmarks were uploaded by "thegametechnician" who works in RTG's marketing. I don't know why he did it with a 5960x but yeah.

Hmmmmmmmmmm.........??
Not sure about this one. The card that is.... the pricing better be some crucial "shtuff" as these numbers need to be paired with something "tantalizing....!"

Meh less than a 5% improvement over my overclocked GTX 980 Ti. The GTX 1080 at least overclocks pretty well, but if the power consumption of the FE is anything to go by this isn't going to be pretty.

why?
do you remember that Fury and Polaris best official presentation were on AMD's computer running intel CPU...
Ryzen is in "your box finalisation"
and TR is not lauched at all (and will end as Ryzen... BTW every cpu maker do the same... early consumer have higher price and get final result of their rig after a year).
So it look normal to get result on proofed high end (even from concurent) to see more or less what this GPU will have on own high end when ready.

So my 1080 @ 2050 mhz has 2k higher graphics score. I'm sure they'll catch up to it with driver updates.

Edit: I just wonder why the 5960X's(physics) score is so low. My 5920k is higher by 2k.

Power consumption is disastrous. What's more it appears to be throttling from 84 sec on air.

Wrong card. Wrong thread.

That 5960x is likely running at default settings. A test rig such as that would not be overclocked.

Doesn't look too bad tbh. Still depends on pricing and availability at launch...

Tesla V100's are not consumer cards. They are not GV100's.
There will never be a consumer GV100.
Maybe a GV102.....down the line.

As i'm without Graphics card atm ive decided to wait and see how the AMD Vega going to look before pulling the trigger on the 1080 ti .
Now we just need some gaming benchmarks popping up on the web to tell more of the story on Vega so i can decide .

Pretty much same GPU. So it is representative for RX Vega as well.

Consumer variants of Volta man, not GV100, obviously. I responded to you in the other thread with a link. And yeah, they are definitely GV100, they have 4 SM's disabled, but that doesn't make them "not GV100". P100 also had disabled SM's, doesn't make it "not GP100".
The point is Volta architecture is out and in people's hands. It's only a matter of time before the consumer variants are out and on the market. Which makes the shelf life for Vega limited.
