Duderandom84 has shared three new benchmarks between AMD’s Radeon Vega Frontier Edition and NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX1080 and GTX1080Ti. Duderandom84 tested this time the newly released Unreal Engine 4-powered game, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, alongside Far Cry 4 and Fallout 4.
AMD’s Radeon Vega Frontier Edition offered a bit disappointing performance in Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice. AMD’s GPU was unable to come close to the performance of the GeForce GTX1080, however we do have to note that this is a brand new title (meaning that AMD may be able to improve performance via new drivers).
On the other hand, the AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition was able to run Far Cry 4 as good as its competitor (the GeForce GTX1080). During most scenes, these two graphics cards were running the Ubisoft’s game with almost the exact framerates.
Last but not least, the AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition appears to run Fallout 4 faster than the NVIDIA GeForce GTX1080. While there were some scenes during which the GTX1080 was in front, for the most part Bethesda’s title favoured AMD’s graphics card.
Needless to say that in all three titles the NVIDIA GeForce GTX1080Ti was way ahead of the AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition, and NVIDIA will retain the crowd of the fastest single graphics cards for the foreseeable future (as the gaming variant of Vega will definitely not be able to close this gap).
Enjoy the benchmarks below!

Why do you keep posting a workstation card against a gaming card?
Are you high or something?
“(as the gaming variant of Vega will definitely not be able to close this gap).”
That’s what John thinks. He knows it’s workstation card but what he also believe is that even the gaming edition of vega although more powerful than it’s workstation part will still realistically not be that much better so as to close the gap between it’s Nvidia counterpart aka the 1080ti.
The comparision is not fair I know but it still gives us some idea as to what the actual gaming vega card will be like. And from the looks of it it sure ain’t gonna beat 1080ti. Although it’s going to be interesting to see how it measures up with 1080.
“they are optimized to perform on tasks that are vastly different”
not quite. the pro card like Quadro and firepro just have extra optimized driver for professional application. but when you game on them performance should be on par. most often the pro card is only a bit slower in games due to lower clocked vs geforce/radeon card not so much because it does not have optimized driver for games.
To be fair game performance should be similar to RX VEGA once the actual drivers are released.
RX Vega cards are clocked higher out of the box than FE (plus whatever else extra they might have under the hood), they will be faster. Will they beat nvidia? Maybe, maybe not, but it will close the gap. We will have to wait and see.
he has posted articles like these a million times. So I’m pretty sure we have a general idea on how Vega Frontier performs lol…
Jesus even AMD state this is a card that can be used for gaming and uses effectively same drivers now, and will perform in fundamentally same way as FE Vega. It has same architecture, same number of cu’s, same same clock speeds in some versions of rx Vega, with only major differences being that drivers will be more mature by that point and eventually after market coolers will be available.
Tell me What exactly will be different in rx Vega that you think will fundamentally change these benchmarks so drastically?
FE is no more a workstation card than Titan xp. it is in reality an attempt to span the two markets, but really isn’t suitable for that desktop tasks in way the radeon pro or quadro cards are.
Can people not benchmark games on an titan XP?
They love Vega so much they can’t wait a couple more days for the proper gaming cards and want to see Vega benchies now.
“workstation card”
AMDrones keep throwing excuses…
And Nvidrones replying them…
Again? Really????? How many times you need to say that Vega 64 won’t be able to beat the 1080Ti?

I can only get an erection when I watch Vega Frontier Edition vs 1080/1080Ti benchmark videos.
