Radeon RX Vega 56 Reportedly Beating GTX 1070 by 20%

Radeon RX Vega 56  Reportedly Beating GTX 1070 by 20%

As you guys know AMD will be releasing three SKUs based on Vega, it seems that the most cheap one might be performing well, very well even. Some newly leaked results show that the RX Vega 56 is substantially faster compared to its rival, the GeForce GTX 1070.

An industry source from the guys at Tweaktown outted some numbers, and they do look good. The card has been tested on a Intel Core i7-7700K @ 4.2GHz, had 16GB of DDR4-3000MHz based system with Windows 10. The performance numbers have been done on a more GPU bound 2560x1440 (which is good). 

Tested titles are Battlefield 1, DOOM, Civilization 6, and even Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. And their source mentioned that Battlefield 1 was run on Ultra settings, Civ 6 was on Ultra with 4x MSAA, DOOM was at Ultra with 8x TSAA enabled, and COD:IW was running on its High preset.  

  • Battlefield 1: 95.4FPS (GTX 1070: 72.2FPS) 
  • Civilization 6: 85.1FPS (GTX 1070: 72.2FPS) 
  • DOOM: 101.2FPS (GTX 1070: 84.6FPS) 
  • COD:IW: 99.9FPS (GTX 1070: 92.1FPS)   

While the results are a bit arbitrary as they cannot be validated, and neither can the source or his testing methodology we have to admit, if this is the case then the Vega 56 could be a little gem. It's hard to beat your competition by 20% these days.

Time will tell, but please keep in mind these numbers cannot be verified whatsoever. You know where to read your review of course when that embargo is being lifted.

Having better TFLOPS not means that it give better FPS..GG

Well they tested games... now I'd only be interested in 1080p graphs (still the most common gaming resolution if steam hardware survey is anything to go by). Also, was BF1 run in dx11 or dx12? Doom in OpenGL or Vulkan?

But it does look good, yes. The price seems to be pretty reasonable for that performance, too. I guess it will grab sales from the 1070. If only it would have been around a year earlier, I'm fairly sure it would have killed the 1070 indeed, now people already spent their money over the last months I'm afraid.

No one is saying anything about Tflops. In the article there is a little list that compares the amount of FPS on Vega 56 to a GTX1070...

I'm curious for the benchmarks we will see when the cards launch. If these rumours are true then the vega56 could be a good price/performance contendor.

I wonder if lastest vega driver fix was related with that, if was then eth miners helped amd find performance problem (that one when more than 2GB of memory is used). It is sad that they will release vega in bundles just to make it unprofitable for miners to buy.
I wonder if water cooled vega will beat 1080 ti about the same margin, I wonder how 4x0/5x0 cards performance will increase after they will release that driver.

Nice... hope it's true :) I could use an upgrade after I went to 3440x1440.
