Fixed
That "was" my expectation
Now idk it will depend on a few things,, ATM 1440ish seems to be core speed if the liquid version keeps the core at 1600 and the gaming is clocked higher then performance will jump a reasonable chunk.But thats a lot of What if's for sure
The power vega uses at say 1700 core might be frightening thou
Can hear the fan now
He slapped it at 100%, sounds like my old reference 980Ti's at max fan. That piercing sound haha.

Surely am not the only one on here that didn't expect the FE Vega to outperform nvidia high end in gaming?
I expected these results tbh when you have a GPU designed for mixed workload something has to give way you can't have it all.
I still expect RX Vega to match the 1080 ti I would be very surprised if it doesn't tbh

But at least he can eat his crisps now
I had to put that in chat
and was spamming the chat to test 100% fan glad he did it If it does (which is a big if and I'm not expecting it to) match/beat a 1080ti and beat it for price, some posts in here are going to be very amusing! Bookmarked them just in case
Looking at the market now, if AMD can get gaming vega within 5-10% of a 1080ti and price it to be around £500/550, I think that would be pretty decent given the circumstances for selling gpus now and if it does...... no doubt the nvidia fans will chime in with:
- think of the power!!!! And the extra few pounds a year it adds up to!!!!!
- temperatures/noise, even though FEs aren't exactly cool or quiet things
- drivers suck! I want all the performance to be there on day 1, not 4 months later!!!!

I would not have expected it to have similar performance/watt but considering the 30% to 40% bump in clockspeeds,two generations newer tessellation and colour compression,etc it really should be handily beating a GTX1080.
ATM,its either slightly below a GTX1080 or slightly faster depending on the game.
That is what AMD said with typical clock speed of 1382MHz
So does gaming RX Vega, it's the exact same chip (unless there really was a flaw and RX has a new revision).
But compute wise it is really no different to the 1080ti. It does have a lot of silicon dedicated to FP64 support for example.
Vega FE is no more designed for mixed workloads than the 1080 or Ti is.
RX Vega and FE Vega are the same chip, unless there was an error and RX is a new stepping.

Why Amd is dead silent, zero damage control Raja you seem to be a nice guy but being a 'head' of anything isn't for you...
If this results turn out to be true for gaming version also lots of 'heads' will be rolling ( including Rajas precious one )

Well unless he is planning on being head of RTG under Intel or Samsung or something... what better way to do it.
I think it's finally time to give up on expecting AMD to deliver on the GPU side. They just aren't in the game anymore. Decisions made years ago to focus on APUs and less R&D spend in any case than their competitors adds up to this situation, and I see no point in hoping they'll pull something out of the bag. Reality bites for AMD - they are a very distant 2nd in a two horse race.
Glad I stopped caring about it. The PC has a great 2D indie game scene, and I'm going to buy a PS4 Pro for the money I'd put aside for Vega. Too little, too late, AMD... I've lost interest.
Volta might make me think again, but knowing nV it'll be over-priced to all hell.

Tbf we can thank AMD to help to develop HBM.....just so nVidia can use it in a couple of generations and charge us a bomb for the privilege
Based on a significant change in GPU and VRAM...and AMD's marketing. So not pure fantasy. Just mostly fantasy. Die shrink, big improvement in GPU architecture, HBM2...it should have been able to compete with last year's cards. It shouldn't have been as bad as it seems to be - no improvement in performance per clock over 2 generation old AMD GPUs, let alone nvidia ones, apparently heavily power throttling at 390W (300W TDP +30% power limit would be 390W) and very hot. Is it really just a very overclocked Fiji?

Lets hope that is indicative of hardware features that can be disabled for the RX Vega to increase clocks for gaming :s if it comes out at around 1080 performance at this point it really doesn't help anyone except the AMD diehards who haven't upgraded yet.

I think Mr Koduri's made some terrible decisions leading up to this debacle,
For example making a big ado about using Vega with some Bollywood VR rubbish at a Vega event rather than giving us any real info,
Or doing event's where he promises Gaming news at the end just to say how they've decided to call Vega.... wait for it... RX Vega.
It's all been smoke and mirrors like the Tattoine Land Cruisers in Star Wars 1, Well smoke, mirrors and T-shirts.
These results explain AMD's unwillingness to give anything concrete about gaming over the last 6 months or so,
They hype the product as much as they can because not hyping it is not even an option.
It's just sad how stupidly they do it and how badly they handle public relations with the consumers.
It leaves the majority of people with no confidence in what they do and what they say.
For example, Raja recently said that we should wait for Vega but if you can't wait the Frontier will provide a great 4k experience.
I've seen nothing to back that up,
We all know that we are only now getting acceptable 4k gaming performance from the fastest Nvidia cards and PcPer's side by side Frontier and Txp results show it to be far slower.
But I imagine it'll all be explained away by the apologists in the coming day's.
