Device ID 687F:C1 surfaces in AOTS - has VEGA 10 aka Radeon RX 490 been spotted ?
Over the weekend, well just before it actually a new entry in the Ashes of the Singularity database appeared, it's coded under number 687F:C1, and that does point a little to the product that should slay the GTX 1080, the Radeon RX 490.
Hardware ID's in the AOTS database show up if the driver has not gotten a proper name lined up with the Device ID. It is not the first time that something like this happens. The hardware ID 687F:C1 is definitely AMD, no doubt there and in fact is a device ID close to Polaris. The more interesting fact is that the results are faster, much faster then the Radeon RX 480. So if it's true, it might be the Radeon RX 490 (I mean what else could it be?). A lot of things are unknown about the Radeon RX 490, but it is rumored to get 8GB HBM2 memory and would be based on a GPU with 4096 shader processors. That means 64 Compute Units, multiply that with 64 shader processors per cluster and you'll get to the 4096 shader processors. The GPU will be paired with either 8 or 16 GB HBM2 memory at an up-to 512 GB/s memory bandwidth, logic would dictate 8GB though.
A few months ago AMD's Radeon Technologies Group (RTG) chief Raja Koduri tweeted that development of "Vega10" had just crossed a milestone, although it's a long way to go before you can see it". A little while ago an RX 490 entry was shortly listed on AMDs own website as well.
The product with ID 687F:C1 scores an average framerate of 88 FPS. In comparison, with the same settings a GeForce GTX 1080 would be in the 70~75 FPS range with the factory overclocked parts in that same 80~85 FPS region. Intersting times.
Check the thumbnails for result.

Plop twist, is a dual RX480 called RX 490 Fury, cause you know AMD uses AoS as his preffered hype tool.

How is an 8GB card aimed at 4K if its dual GPU? (4GB+4GB) They would have to add the caveat its only for 4K in DX12 with multigpu explicit. DX11 need not apply.
Maybe if there was some magic AMD has to make a dual GPU card appear as a single video card and share resources but again that would probably be only in DX12.
This will be all new IMO.
The amount of VRAM and GPU cores really points towards this being a 2X RX470 GPU rather than it being single GPU. But we will see - I just don't see AMD having doubled the core count in a single die without some pretty serious power concerns. Will be very interesting if they pulled it off though!

The game version for this 'leaked benchmark' is 1.45. AOTS is currently using game version is 2.1.x.

NVIDIA has a 1080Ti laying on the shelf, just waiting for AMD to release to be able to clock it so that's just a tid bit faster then RX490 in most games.
And maybe the 1090 will also be ready by then to spoil AMDs party.
I hope AMD takes the preforance crown for a while again and it regularly changes, would be good for the development speed.

I don't find it all that unrealistic. The Fury X had 4096 stream processors, the 470 has 2048. With a significant die shrink and more refinement, there is no reason this couldn't be the 490.
