AMD will lift the embargo for its latest gaming variant graphics cards based on the Vega architecture in a few hours and it appears that the first gaming benchmarks for it have been leaked online. According to the benchmarks, the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 comes close to the FE of GTX1080 but does not beat it in a bunch of them.
These benchmarks are coming from聽Hwbattle, covering both Radeon RX Vega 64 black (air cooled) and Radeon RX Vega liquid cooled models.
There were five games that were tested and two benchmarks: Battlefield 1, Ghost Recon: Wildlands, Titanfall 2, Metro: Last Light Redux Civilization VI, 3DMark Firestrike and 3DMark TimeSpy. These games were tested in three resolutions: 1080p, 1440p and 4K.
In Titanfall 2 and Ghost Recon: Wildlands, the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 was as fast as the NVIDIA GTX1080 FE in 4K, but slower than NVIDIA’s GPU at 1080p and 1440p. In Battlefield 1, AMD’s offering was faster than its NVIDIA competitor in pretty much all resolutions, while in Metro: Last Light Redux and Civilization VI the red GPU was slower than its green rival.
Regarding the 3DMark benchmarks, AMD’s Radeon RX 64 Vega was slower than the NVIDIA GTX1080 FE.
Do note that most of these games are DX11 titles, so things may start favouring AMD’s latest GPU once we see more DX12 titles, as well as newer games that take advantage of AMD’s Rapid Packed Math Vega features.
From the looks of it, the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 will be – overall – as good as the GTX1080. While we expect NVIDIA’s card to be able to beat the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 in some games, we can definitely see the red team winning in some others. In other words, it’s a mixed bag and there is no clear winner here. And to be honest, we are not really surprised here as this exactly thing was hinted by all the “AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition vs GTX1080” comparison articles we’ve shared in the past few weeks.

ha…..ha…..ha….ha…..*sigh*
I want to get a Vega 56, but I really need to see if the difference between it and my RX 480 justifies the investment.
I’m really getting lazy 馃檪 I have to check it 馃檪
it will definitely be an upgrade but i definitely want to see how much of one it is since i’m also considering getting one.
WHY JOHN WHY. There’s been countless articles and reports already….
This is a tech hardware site. It’s their job.
Yes but it the same stuff more or less being reposted for this vega gpu. God damn, while writing this lol, there’s a new post again… omg.
As long as they post articles relevant to PC gaming, I’m fine with it.
hmmmm PC gaming site reporting information on latest, much hyped GPU….I winder why they would do this????? It’s unfathomable
Do you not see that many articles contain the same information more or less and are reposted constantly ? Click.Bait.Advertisement.Money.
but those were all VegaFe and these are first gaming rx Vega benchmarks.
naturally they will publish them.
you only have to look at the comments on the Vega FE articles saying how the FE wasn’t gaming gpu and rx would be more powerful, drivers were not gaming drivers , making accusations of them being biased etc, and that’s why they’re right publish them
Oh well i guess in this particular case you’re right. Still, 2 posts next to each other (in the recent ones) are saying basicly the same thing. They could’ve just updated the first one but no they need clicks. I guess this is their only source of revenue.
“Do note that most of these games are DX11 titles, so things may start favouring AMD鈥檚 latest GPU once we see more DX12 titles” AND just a few minutes later, you publish another article about the DX12 titles, where 5 out of 7 games, the 1080 FE performs better than the RX VEGA.
So after all the wishfull thinking that just about all of DSOs articles were up to this point, that stated that the RX Vega should perform between the 1080 FE and the 1080 TI, it is being shown that in most cases it performs worse than the 1080 FE.
You should really stop with the shameless Bias/Favouritism.
What part of “may” did you not exactly understand? We’d be biased if we hadn’t published a new story about the other DX12 games that perform worse on the RX Vega 64, not the other way around.
What part of bias and favouritism for the last few weeks on AMD articles are you trying to deny? Even when in your articles it is being shown that the Nvidia 1 year old card competitior, performs better in most cases, can already be bought for less, and consumes alot less?
You guys can’t win. Anything positive or negative one way or another and it’s instant accusations of being fanboys from the opposing fanboys.
I don’t know why people can’t just take information as it is and just accept that other people aren’t that sad that they buy into brand bias
But but drivers, more powerful than FE, FE isn’t gaming gpu, fp16 support……oh wait, it’s just a power hungry gtx 1080 at best that has come a year too late. whooo
