Filtered benchmarks of the AMD RX Vega 56 and AMD RX Vega 64, AMD graphics cards that claim to be an alternative to NVIDIA graphics and for now, the data does not bring surprises.
Some benchmarks of the AMD RX Vega graphics cards have begun to filter, specifically the RX Vega 56 and the RX Vega 64, from two different media. On the one hand HardwareUnboxed has published a benchmark of the RX Vega 56 and on the other hand ChipHell has published a benchmark of the RX Vega 64. The benchmarks do not show great surprises, since what has been seen shows the expected performance of both models of graphics cards, for Therefore, other factors will be decisive for the purchase of these graphics.
We start with HardwareUnboxed, who will launch at least 75 graphics, which have been published in a tweet and of course, the quality is not exactly good and expanding only three of the benchmarks, the ones that are larger gives us a slight idea of what they will be. the RX vega 56. We do not know much about these graphics, since they are the most unknown, since the RX Vega 64 has been promoted above all. These RX Vega 56 graphics cards have a performance quite similar to the GTX 1070 and as they are priced much better, they aim to be stiff competition for NVIDIA in this field.
On the other hand, we have the ChipHell data, where the RX Vega 56 and RX Vega 64 are seen over the air. The Vega 56 outperforms the GTX 6 Founders Edition by almost 1070% without OC and by almost 11% with overclocking. We must emphasize that the Founders Edition is a fairly simple model and there are solutions on the market with factory OC and better heatsinks. If we look at the data of the Vega 64, we see that it surpasses the NVIDIA GTX 2 by 1080% and with OC it exceeds it by only 6%. Also pull them from a 1080 Founders Edition, so we don't know what will happen to the custom models. These latest data are more fair and the price of the Vega 64 does not point to being cheaper than a GTX 1080 and it is necessary to know the consumption and the final temperatures.
RX Vega 56 hard competitor for the GTX 1070? Obviously not, consumption and temperatures count in that regard, AMD has been showing clear signs of inefficiency since the Radeon 200 series and that is why they do not stop losing market share.
If you have a freesync monitor, well, it's worth a bit more.
The consumption and the temperature peel it, that of course.
THEY ARE FOR MINING!
THEY ARE NOT FOR PLAYING!
So what should I buy the GTX 1060 or wait for the RX56? I want it to play obviously.
Do you think they are for mining with just 30 mhs and a consumption of almost 500w ??????????????
