Everything indicates that the AMD RX Vega in the end will not be able to even with the NVIDIA GTX 1080

New data about the AMD RX Vega, would show that this is slightly below the NVIDIA GTX 1080, although we do not know what would be the exact model referred to in this case.

We know that this quarter (for the next two months), the new AMD RX Vega graphics cards should hit the market. Official data on the performance of this card there is excessive data, but the leaks have already begun and the last thing has been to see this graphics card in TechPowerUp's comparison, where you can see the relative performance of what would be the new graphics card, but under 1080p resolutions. We must have this data as relative, since the model is not specified and as we well know, there will be several models and the data may not represent the final data of this graphics card.

We see a comparison table where the AMD RX Vega has a performance that exceeds the GTX 11 by 1070%, but is 5% below the GTX 1080, while it surpasses the R25 9 × 295 by 2% or 31% improvement over the R9 Fury X, all this, with 1080p resolutions, we remember. These are relative data and they do not have to be real, they are not false either, since these could be from an RX Vega graph, but slightly cropped.

Regarding its characteristics, we see that this graphics card has 8GB of HBM2 memory with a 2048-bit memory bus, which would work at 1GHz, while the GPU works at 1GHz, which would have a 1.2GHz Boost frequency. This new graphics card from AMD would have a computing power of 9.83 TFLOPs, while its competitor, the GTX 1080 Ti, has a power of 10.6 TFLOPs. This graph, as we can see, would have a relative consumption of 225W, powered by two 6 + 8-pin PCIe connectors. The data shown indicates that this graphics card would have a length of 267mm, being very short thanks to the fact that the HBM2 memories can be installed in the same DIE and do not take up space on the PCB.

  1. And what will the price be? if it is much cheaper than 1080, it may be more profitable to opt for the VEGA option

    1. What will the price and “consumption” be? Nowadays I pay so much for electricity that I have to pay attention to things like consumption. 🙂

      1. In Spain we must pay close attention to consumption, that at the minimum you neglect you will get a bigger bill than the mortgage.

      2. You change a couple of bulbs from home and it already gives you an extra 80W on a graph. I do not understand the consumer bullshit of the graphs, they amount to cents per month

        1. I tell you; This is my girlfriend's pc, that computer does not spend "anything" but this one. I have a pc in the living room connected to a projector with an rx 480 and an fx8350, we watch movies, series and sometimes a couple of games (on weekends) Plus the one I use daily in which I am writing this with an i5 and a 1070. I'm not telling you that I'm a fan of saving light, (otherwise I wouldn't even use the projector) of course we don't have everything on all day, but it wears out.

          Greetings.

  2. Attentive: 1000MHz, engineering sample. If the Radeon Instinct MI25 is going to have 12.5TFLOPs in single precision with 4096 shaders it needs 1525MHz, and that is a semi-passive downclocked pro level graphics. Do you remember the leaks from Polaris at 800MHz? Well this is the same. Go clickbait, Roberto Solé

    1. In fact, there are leaks that say it will not be able to reach 1.5 GHz, but rather 1.2 GHz.

    2. By the way, the 800 MHz thing, it was just that, but the performance information was not given or anything.

      1. Do you realize that the screenshot is from the techpowerup DB? It has no more value than the informative one, it is only a chart history. It is not a first or an exclusive, and much less a valid test, they have simply added Vega to the BB.DD, with a frequency of 100MHz so that the input exists, not because the final model is going to be like this

    3. 1000mhz seems to be an engineering sample, but I am not so clear that all the chips are capable of going up to 1.525Ghz

      1. Coñe, check out where the 12'5TFLOPs of MI25 come from:

        4096 shaders * 2 op. coma flotante/ciclo = 8192
        12'500TFLOPs = 12500GFLOPS
        12500/8192 = 1'5258789GHz = 1526MHz para conseguir los 12'5TFLOPs

        1. It may… and it may not. They are assumptions, the calculations are fine, but keep in mind that the 12.5Tflops figure may be inflated and then Vega will not reach that ...

          1. The truth is that I no longer know what to think of AMD ... I hate FailX apart, in CPU's I want to give them a chance but in GPU's they are still very far from Nvidia, the truth is, the Chinese Juan is not the one from Intel and this one is not he has slept ... it will be seen.

  3. But this page is all stupid Nvidia fanboys, they say it's 11% better than a 1070, and 35% better than a Fury X, I remind you 1070: Fury X at least think a little before publishing nonsense

    1. And I remind you that most of the comparisons that you see in the network of 1070 vs Fury X are made with reference models and there is an important difference between a reference model and a custom with good OC and the Fury X does not ocean crap . In fact all the Fury Xs that are sold go to the same factory frequencies.

      1. But keep in mind that they are from the last generation and even without a very high overclock, AMD cards are still on par with the respective models with which they compete.

      2. Not everyone is a friend, the reference or reduced versions are much cheaper, at least in Argentina and they are sold a lot…. not everyone changes video card like changing panties….

        1. In Nvidia almost nobody buys reference and they all have OC, a GTX 1070 is better than a FuryX, the one that is on par and they are almost the same in performance is the gtx 980ti vs gtx 1070.

  4. You're just a technician, not an engineer. I don't know how you can have an opinion, being a quasi-professional. Go into something else.

    1. I'm sure I'm a lot more professional than you. This stupidity that an engineer is more professional for having a career, we could debate it long and hard, because throughout my life I have come across engineers who have no idea what they say.

  5. «T-Everything points to the fact that the AMD RX Vega will not even be able to compete with the NVIDIA GTX 1080 in the end, we swear!»
    «We do not know what the exact model would be that is being referred to in this case»
    «5% p-below the GTX 1080»
    «P-Please go into debt to buy a 1080Ti, that's what we'll depend on to get paid for hosting the site ;_;»

    Well, they give me 5% less than a 1080 at 75% -50% of the price of a 1080 and I don't even buy Nvidia.
    And this is at 1000MHz. The RX 580 runs at 1350MHz out of the box, and it would be very strange if they lowered the clock speeds with GCN 1.3. Stop this shitty clickbait and be objective, or you'll lose your audience. Fire that idiot fanboy Solé.

  6. regardless of everything they are rumors until it is not official and the data is linked to a specific model, on the other hand I think it consumes too much

  7. As usual, in your pathetic way... making false, unbiased claims based on your paranoid thoughts. Zero professionalism. Your intentions are obvious from afar. I hope you end up with a lawsuit from AMD for manipulating information in this way and publishing such toxic and false articles. You can't write these kinds of articles with so little knowledge and such fanaticism. The hardwaresphere is truly pathetic thanks to this incompetent individual's articles.

    1. Numbers are numbers and numbers are very clear. Now, if you read the entry before writing anything that comes to mind, you will see that I say that the data does not fit me and that it could be an engineering version and that I comment that we are going to take the data with watch out. But of course, then we are the others who have no idea and manipulate.

      1. Yes, but in the title you indicate the position.
        Then in a little boy, you say that your article is still garbage.
        great hey.

    1. I've seen it, but it goes without saying that there are three models unless you know or talk about. A Vega Core that is there with the NVIDIA GTX 1070, a Vega Eclipse that is there with the NVIDIA GTX 1080 and a Vega Nova that is there with the NVIDIA GTX 1080Ti. This is what is known. There is no benchmark or any reasonable data that really indicates that this table is correct. The leaked benchmarks can be from any of the three graphics cards. We are going to be cautious and wait until they are released or one of them arrives.

  8. What a shame of the web, and of the article.
    I hope nvidia pays you well, because in visits, each time you are going to earn less.

    yes, banning whoever gives you a zasca, is very fun… ..

    1. Look that I don't usually answer on the web, but I can tell you that we have banned some users not because of their opinion.
      But if for their insults and disrespect. Something that I personally will not tolerate.
      You may like the content more or less and even have a different opinion than the writer of the article.
      But from there to calling it anything but pretty, those are other words that DESERVE THE INSTANT PERMA BAN

          1. Hello,
            This is not a dictaweb, but even so I already answered, and I will try to prevent this type of comments from occurring again.

          2. I'm glad that this website bans people who only disrespect and insult other users, so you have my like 😀

          3. Thank you, and I reiterate that I am sorry for what happened and that I will look to study it and correct both parties.

          4. I think that you should control your moderators a little because they already ban you at a minimum, leave a comment in this post in which I explain something very peculiar that happened and it was the ban on my main account not for insulting or disrespecting anyone At least, if not for publishing a photo that from my point of view did not disrespect anyone, shortly after publishing that photo I decided to write a comment on another post and to my surprise I saw that they had banned me, the only thing I thought was in that post in which I had published that photo, because it was the only one in which I had commented lately and before that there was no comment and if I had made it surely it would not be a reason to ban because I am not dedicated to annoying or insulting Nobody, because of things like that, I don't want to visit certain websites because it is not fair for them to take a ban that way because as I said several times, I don't think it would offend anyone.

          5. So if I call you an asshole, I can get banned, but the moderator doesn't give a damn. Look at the image below. Before trying to provoke, you should applaud, like I do, the attitude of AsaldorMars, which is the most correct one. Try to clarify what happened and that it's not because of Roberto.

          6. Stop, I think MATBERU was referring in general, that he appreciates that insults or bad behavior are not tolerated.
            That sometimes the heat leads us to misunderstand things at all

          7. I clarify what I wanted to say, I LOVE that you baneeis and moderate the chat of the disqus in the news, to see if moderators of other websites learn to do the same

            I hate people who come to disrespect, insult and criticize a person for thinking or giving a different opinion ... Everyone has their opinion and you may like a company more or less, but you have to respect that another user thinks or thinks differently from you ...

          1. ahhh, I thought it was because the image was broken or something because of the quality

          2. It remains to see the original comment, which would also be good to know the origin of the anger.

          3. Let's see that I have nothing against blocking a user for offending, what I say is that it should be the same for everyone and YOU for whatever reason have called an asshole in an offensive tone to a user of this forum who has blocked and you are still here. For whatever reason an understanding must be reached before pride blinds

          4. I must admit my mistake and I do. One thing is a one-time mistake on my part and another is a constant siege. I recognize that I can get caught up in my words and I should have let it speak for itself. As a contrition I will say that AMD makes the best processors and graphics cards in the world and that Intel steals our money with its processors and NVIDIA's hegemony has its days numbered. 😛

          5. Recognizing is good, remember that you are facing the public / users who are usually the ones who generate the benefit. Regarding AMD I agree but it is taking a long time, we will see in the presentation of the 31 that they say. I still do not have the graph waiting to see how the results will be when Vega comes out once and for all

          6. do not worry Baurk, a mistake can be made by anyone, there are people who make hundreds and hundreds a day and do nothing to change ... xD

          7. I break my hands clapping. Thank God someone finally recognizes the only true truth. Thanks BARUK.

          8. It seems incredible that you are defending the hairy woman knowing how she behaves on the web, with 30 insults per minute, come on man.

          9. I'm not defending anyone; I'm just on the side of the right. In my opinion, one or more insults aren't grounds for a ban, and if they are, it should be the same for everyone. However, the moderators have expressed their views. If you had a blog or website that made a profit, you'd understand.

          10. Do not get stung or miss it please. You have to be good, give your opinion, but not miss or make comments that may feel bad. Thank you.

          11. You can discuss, talk about certain issues even if you are not right, but as you will understand, if a user comes to insult you for thinking differently, it is more than enough that he deserves a ban, come on, I am willing to be banned with all the the law if I even insult ... xD

          12. Well, there are people who want to make money no matter how they make it, and there are others who prefer to lose visitors and have a more serious website. Of course, I don't have a website, just like all those who comment on other websites, and I'm not going to say my name, but that's no reason for several insults. You have homework. Keep defending what you can't defend.

          13. Well, here we are based on data and we talk about the data, analyzing it, when one is in front of the other it is said and if it is the opposite, more of the same. At the weekend, as things usually stand still, we take the opportunity to be bandarras and write some sardonic song, to be able to talk and laugh, because we are not dull. I'm a bit acidic sometimes in the comments with AMD, but when I do it with Intel, people clearly pass and if I say the same with AMD, people lose their minds, but here we are not going for or against anyone, we go With the data.

          14. My point of view, since I do not have a website / blog, I prefer to have few people and to talk about hardware and debate with respect and another is to leave the web in the hands of the Lord and have insults and disrespect and threats every day , I see well that when the user is insulted several times to block that user, even to give the warning for the next one, but you cannot have a website and let people kill themselves to earn money on visits.

            P.S; I am not a saint, I am quite toxic on other websites, I am not Mother Teresa of Calcutta but if I deserve the blockade for smart, then I assume it.

          15. If you want a blog just to debate what you say at the beginning is fine but if you have a website to generate income it is totally different, you have to be flexible, act with moderation and most of all not think in the first person, I mean the part administrative. The more debate the better the same if you speak badly or well, in the world of advertising the most coveted rule is to attract interest, for better or for worse, already within the important thing is to have control. Look where this Trump had a huge bad publicity but it was a lot, it's just my point of view from an economic / web / moderation perspective.

          16. I do not defend what cannot be defended, I only try to express that there is equality between all ranks, which happens that as it is a public forum, the words do not always mean the same for everyone and much less when ignorance does not depart (this last one does not go for you, nor for the moderators)

          17. I am the first to be blocked from other websites, but that of creating secondary accounts with my name, that any comment insults by the face or etc, no partner, this is already reaching a circus that I do not like a hair.

          18. So we leave it here, period. In any case, the moderator acknowledged that he lost the pot and got carried away, I just wanted to make clear the role that should correspond to each one, in reality it does not matter to me if they block me or not since I do not have nothing to gain and much less nothing to lose. That does not mean that you come here to be offending for pleasure, on the contrary between publishing a link on another website and the moderators have maintained good communication and debate whether or not they agree and in a civilized way

          19. I'm not a victim kid, like your stuffed and dentex schoolgirls.

        1. I see that Roberto in the first message complained of insults, even so I will look for where this event occurred and I will study it.

          1. Thank you. It is not my intention to discredit the web and I understand that there are ethical codes as long as they are applied fairly, but I think that if a comment is deleted or a user is blocked, the position of the moderator should also be taken into account, which was not the more correct. That is just my opinion
            Debate, as long as it's done respectfully, is good because it helps us understand and find a balance when there are disagreements. Best regards.

          2. Of course, balance is necessary, and I reiterate that I will take steps so that something like this does not happen again.
            As for the debate, the different opinions are welcome, nobody has the absolute truth. And accepting it and learning from mistakes is something completely normal that we all must accept.

            I change the subject to the link that you put on techpowerup, I'm not going to question that information, but I can't believe it without real evidence either. Something that we do not have at the moment.
            Open to wait to see if VEGA is as promised or not, but until there are real tests, no website is right and none is wrong, because speculations are what they are.

          3. Man and I respect him, as you say open to wait for Vega, in reality the fault with respect to everything that happened with AMD is AMD itself for its delays. Since we are getting to know each other, I am not colored, I am a lover of technology in general and I give preference to performance / price. Cheers

          4. Personally, I apologize if I exceeded in some comments and if you think I should delete any, I leave it in your hands. Cheers

        2. The thing is that in the end one gets tired of hearing the same things from the two or three of always that seem sent on purpose to insult and defame and of course, in the end one ends up to C flat and goes to the dark side.

          1. Don't see it like that man. If you are the moderator of the web, you become his image and you have to be the last to lose his mind

      1. I was banned from an account for making a comment that at least did not seem ostensive to me, I understand that you have to ban people for commenting in an irrational and offensive way but what happened to me seemed very unfair, At least you could have tried to explain it to me by mp or something similar because as I say again my comment did not seem offensive at all, it is more not even wrote anything, what I published was a photo that was not at all offensive if not rather ironic because at least from my point of view.

    1. Multi accounts? Check how many comments I have made, stop throwing nonsense in the air. If you want I can give you my face so you know me. Bye

  9. Please stop this now. And I ask that you edit this comment, "Your words not only prove that you seem like a failure as a technician, but also as a writer."
    I warn you, I will be more attentive to the comments

    But please either edit what I find very offensive, or I will take control of the situation, in a way that neither me nor anyone else likes.

    Roberto, for his part, has already apologized, and I do not think that we should continue to hype the subject

    1. I just made one comment, multi-accounts? Guys, I don't have that much time for that, and this has been my only offensive comment. The others have been normal, because I saw Roberto's apology, but you were late for the party to cry for something that already happened.

      On the other hand, I do not understand how you can judge me with such passion, when it is obvious that my comment, and those of other people, have been for the same beautiful responses full of love that he gave. Mature boy, nowadays nobody throws stones and receives flowers.

      And if you want to take this comment the wrong way and ban me or whatever, you are within your right, it is your website. Good or bad, it's yours.

      Greetings and happy week.

  10. well, I see a lot of posturing here.
    Out of 3 comments I had, 2 have been deleted.
    the reason?
    God only knows …..
    ta later!

  11. "Everything points to the fact that the AMD RX Vega will not even be able to compete with the NVIDIA GTX 1080" as if a 1080 was not enough, and then it says that it is not known what model of Vega they use. This page is obviously managed by Intel fanboys.
