While we are all waiting for the third-party benchmarks for AMD RX Vega – that will most probably go live on August 14th – DudeRandom84 has shared some new benchies between the AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition and NVIDIA’s GTX1080 and GTX1080Ti.
DudeRandom84 tested three games: Quantum Break, Watch_Dogs 2 and Mafia 3. In Quantum Break, the AMD Radeon Frontier Edition was able to surpass NVIDIA’s GTX1080 by around 4-6fps. And if this benchmark is anything to go by, the AMD RX Vega will run games impressively fast under DX12. Though we don’t expect the RX Vega 64 to compete with the GTX1080Ti, it will definitely run DX12 games faster than the GTX1080.
On the other hand, it appears that in DX11 games the AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition falls behind the GTX1080. Similarly to pretty much most games, the AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition is a bit slower than the GTX1080 in Mafia 3. In Watch_Dogs, however, the performance difference is bigger as NVIDIA’s GTX1080 runs the game faster by around 8-12fps than AMD’s graphics card.
So yeah, this is a mixed bag. We’d love to see even more DX12 game benchmarks as even AMD’s workstation GPU appears to perform great in Quantum Break. Moreover, the AMD RX Vega will support Rapid Packed Math; a feature that will further increase performance on AMD’s latest graphics cards (provided game developers implement it in their engines).
AMD’s RX Vega 64 graphics card will be released on August 14th, so it will be interesting to see whether AMD’s Radeon Vega Frontier Edition’s performance reflects the performance of AMD’s Vega gaming variant cards.

So its more faster on a shittier game seems legit
btw mafia 3 garbage
Why ? I like this game.
It seems you have one of the lowest game quality standarts, cause that game is so garbage I wouldnt take it for free
I would, free is free lol. Even when I don’t find value in the game some might.
Typical DSO viewer. Complete idiot and butthurt someone likes a game they don’t. What a pathetic loser.
facepalm
A great description for yourself…
Ah I don’t know that you have the highest game quality standarts !!!
Please tell me which games should I play that will please you !!!!!!!!!!! wtf?
you are the first ive seen that liikes the game.
Also he tested it in sh**ty windows store edition
:d
about as legit as this pathedic article.
You have to give it to them, it’s impressive that they keep even trying
If the RX Vega 64 performs similarly to a GTX 1080 in DX11 games and slightly better in DX12 games then it could find itself a market given that, from what I’ve heard the likes of JayzTwoCents saying, it has far greater compute power for non-gaming activities than Nvidia’s card. An RX Vega 64 paired with Threadripper could be a very potent combination.
Thanks for letting us know about the Frontier Edition vs 1080 when it comes to Gaming.
For a minute there I thought Frontier Edition was a workstation GPU. My mistake.
You should probably test a Ferrari vs a Semi Truck and see which wins in a drag race too. Because that makes as about as much sense as your articles about Frontier Edition in Gaming.
Anyone who buys the Frontier Edition for gaming is a moron and should be called out as such.
Indeed, but coming from AMD themselves, the RX VEGA is supposed to be ALMOST as good as the GTX 1080, so since it comes from them, admiting its not even as good as the 1080, then it would be a good bet that that is the truth. By how much and in which games? time will tell, but the trend seems to be, it performs more or less the same as the GTX 1080 FE on DX12, usually a bit better, but worse on DX11, just like the VEGA FE.
It is the same as saying that benchmarking Titan XP for gaming doesn’t make sense. It does, because it is the same chip as 1080 Ti and you will get very similar scores out of it. Same here. Doesn’t matter if its Frontier or not Frontier. It is the same chip as RX. And even has higher reference clock. RX won’t get any better than that. It is a bit hard to believe in what is going on. Not only they are so late but they have no power, no efficiency, just nothing. I was always laughing at all of this hype, but I expected standard competition, similar to one against Maxwell or maybe even better one, but this all is looking so bad that it is almost unreal.
You should change the title to read “Quantum Break DX12.” It’s been long shown that the DX11 Steam release runs much better on Nvidia, while it performs very similarly on AMD compared to the original UWP version on DX12.
ENOUGH.
NO VEGANS !
:*)
Lol…:P
Does this mean AMD is faster than Nvidia while playing movies :D?
Again with this crap, is DSO now getting paid by AMD or what? so the new card vs the more than 1 year old card, where this AMD card costs double of what the nvidia one costs, performs a bit better on Quantum Break at DX12, and there are scenes were even there the GTX 1080 performs better. But again, this is a game that performs better on DX11 for Nvidia like several other games, so that would be interesting to see.
But then in second place come the 2 other games where the GTX 1080 performs better than the VEGA, in the case of Watch Dogs 2, sometimes it performs more than double the frames of the difference being stated on Quantum Break. Not impressive, but you keep trying to push it… and trust me, you are pushing it.
Yeah because the FE is performing so well, derp.
No f’ing joke! It’s really sad what has been happening to this site lately… It’s like a god damn cheering section for AMD… IO really don’t care which card is better tbh… But I do like un biased reporting on my websites. And that is a thing of the past around this sh**ty site.
is it just me or the 1080 looks much nicer?
I think Nvidia tweaks the contrast and colors a little on the drivers for games…and that’s why its looks a bit more vibrant on Nvidia GPUs
Will be interesting to see how much tile based rasteration and a few other features which haven’t been included in the drivers will make a difference.
Of course Vega is going to be faster with modern tech. Now we need to see benchmarks with Vega’s features enabled.
read ur comment section. Stop posting this jeezus.
“Rapid Packed Math”
AKA simplly just 16bit mode instead of 32bit,
