My source said that the RX Vega 56 card was running on an Intel Core i7-7700K @ 4.2GHz, had 16GB of DDR4-3000MHz RAM, and was running Windows 10. The benchmarks were run at 2560x1440 with the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 easily beating NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 1070 in Battlefield 1, DOOM, Civilization 6, and even Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. My source said that ..........DOOM was at Ultra with 8x TSAA enabled
Radeon RX Vega 56 benchmark results:

DOOM: 101.2FPS (GTX 1070: 84.6FPS)

Not looking bad at all if these are real.

Does the DOOM result look genuine? Gamersnexus tested the Vega FE Air against a 1070FE at 4K Ultra settings and the difference was 10 FPS in favour of the FE.
64.2 (Vega FE)
54.7 (1070FE)

Edit: Does the DOOM result look genuine?

If those results are true seems they improved drivers. Cause Vega Fe is 64 version and by the look of it 56 does even better against 1070

As I said before, if the monitor has something like a slim chassis then you may not be able to add a gsync module. If you design the monitor from scratch then you just include an area for the module. That same chassis can be used for freesync or non-sync monitors without an issue.



EDIT: and I will end this circular debate by saying my original argument still stands regardless on how much added cost you think gsync has. My point is Nvidia will only drop gsync and support freesync when they think they are loosing significant profits and would be more profitable long-term in supporting freesync. Leading up to that point you will see gsync monitors disapearing and sold off on the cheap.

Thank god you did as i still don't agree with you :p:p:p:p:p

The FE is a step above so if those results are true then the 64 will be in between the 1080 and Ti making it the faster card at the price point. Masses of salt though as this would put a decent overclocked 64 in ti country. Just not up for believing this atm. Under 2 weeks now and then we will see.
 
Waiting for some benchmarks.

They due on the 14th?

Will prob end up buying the 64 version and grabbing an EK block to keep it cool.

Then again... I don't play game!
 
Asus would be the first to hit the market on 14th August, right?
So 11-12 August is when we can expect the stock to reach retailers and home-delivery expected on 15th August?

Any more updates on the above?
 
As I suspected the Vega 56 may well turn out to be a solid product.

Guess we'll see in a week or so how much performance they're able to scrape out of driver optimisations.
 
I just wanted to take a moment to point out something. Most of these "tech news" web outlets, and even some of the actual videos and documentation (slides) published by AMD so far has specifically only told us the "TDP" in watts for the vega series. Just for those that don't know, "TDP" stands for "Thermal Design Power". That means how much heat the chips are producing in watts, and how much thermal heat the heatsink/fan array has to displace.

TDP does have something to do actual power consumption of the entire board/card it's self in a system, but is not is a direct power usage figure. That is an entirely different figure. Total board power consumption has not been published yet by AMD. And typically (going by previous cards) AMD does not ever publish the actual power consumption figures for their cards, only TDP from what I can find.

So just because some sites say Vega Water edition is "300 watts TDP", that does not mean it will consume 300 watts of power.

To understand better, Linus helped us with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDWO177BjZY

Now that said.. I don't know how much power vega will use, and neither does anyone else on the internet at the moment. It very well could use 200 watts of actual power but 300 watts TDP. We just don't know at the moment.

I don't expect the difference to be that massive in-between the Vega 56 and 64, well lets say the performance differences will come down to clock speeds mostly, so custom AIB 56s that aren't power restricted, so can clock higher, should be quite close to the 64. The fury (56) wasn't that much different from the Fury X (64) like the 470/570 isn't that far away from the 480/580 either.

Fury vs Fury X the difference was only little in gpu clock, having less shaders and less texture units. Rx56 vs Rx64 will have little less gpu clock, less shaders, a lot less memory bandwich, less rops and less texture units. There should be nice gains in RX64 vs RX56.

See if Vega 56 is closer to 1080 than 1070, that would certainly help a lot. Still not what we all wanted, but better than just being 1070 performance.

So Vega 56 is marginally quicker than a GTX 980 Ti in some handpicked benches.

I think we need to wait for proper reviews and not jump on the hype train.:)

Omg if those benches are real, 56 here I come!

Well is it me or 1070 numbers dont add up?? 72.2 fps in both games looked around net and in doom on volcan 1070 is around 110fps and bf1 around 91


Sorry too derail vega 56 hype train lol. Btw 1070 is cheaper.

Remember rhat 56 comes with custom aib so gotta compare it to aib 1070 not fe one....
