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.
