bottle necking perhaps but 23k gpu score is around 1080 perf which is pretty much where we all expected.

and yes ofc but screen shots from videocards are so hard to read :D

It looks to be about GTX 1080 performance, they tend to score around 24k to 25k on graphics when overclocked and it looks like Vega will be able to do the same.

AMD is trying to use one chip to cover multiple markets though - however despite that if it cannot beat a GTX1080 convincingly it's not really that impressive.
Remember the Fury cards would probably be quicker if they had more VRAM.

Exactly, and where I am some 1080T's are around €100 more than 1080's as well. Mighty tempted to get one; but will see what Vega does at Siggraph and if it's at least priced well.

Realistically we don;t really know what they're targeting and to a certain point they only know when they find out what clocks can be achieved. If it performs better than expected then they go into "high end" spiel, if its lower than expected they do a polaris. Regardless they will always present the final product like "this is how it was intended to be" even if thats obviously not the case, they twist the narrative to suit the final outcome.

Yeah but they screwed the pooch on that one, by coming out and boasting that they have made their first single GPU capable of 4K60... The 1080ti is a 4K60 gpu (and even then not always), they will get called out on that. I mean yeah sure it can do 4K60 in select games and adapted settings but so can a fury X, and the fury X isn't a 4K60 card and should never be considered as such.

I found some and the RX sits slap bang in the middle of the 1600mhz+ FE's, so much for the secret sauce :(

That 1000mhz memory clock on the #2 result skews things a bit.

These are the two Intel systems, which I think are more comparable, showing similar GPU clocks apart from the 30mhz increase on the RX core. Either Vega loves an increase in core clocks, the drivers do actually bring some performance improvements or there is something else in the systems i'm not seeing like thermal throttling.

cheers man saved me trying to find my links, although I'm waiting for some peeps to not believe my quote about laptop 1080 :)

My alienware 17 with 1080 does around 22k.

I think Vega RX+HBM running Ryzen might be viable in a laptop due to the thermal budget being freed-up by HBM and Ryzen running cooler than GDDR5+Intel.

Fingers crossed.

RX Vega launch perf. is at least in the right ballpark as we know AMD launch weak and then will give us more as the drivers improve. the worry is the thermal cost, at least for mobile. I don't really care if the card runs hotter for the desktop as it will go under water anyway.
