Filtered new benchmark of a supposed AMD RX Vega, which would outperform the GTX 1070 and GTX 1080, staying halfway to the GTX 1080 Ti.
AMD graphics cards based on the Vega GPU for gaming are unknown as of yet and have not been officially unveiled. Theoretically, the first AMD RX Vega to be presented will be at the end of this month at SIGGRAPH, although we will be cautious, since it has had to be presented four times and so far we have not seen it yet. While it arrives and does not arrive, some benchmarks have appeared that point to being an AMD RX Vega, we do not know the model, but it does offer us some interesting data.
This new graphics card has a frequency of 1630MHz, which is only 30MHz more than the Frontier Edition, something quite interesting. The 8GB of HBM2 is maintained with a bandwidth of 484GB / s. The total surface of the chip is 484mm2, a large chip and that paradoxically would be equivalent to 1GB / s of bandwidth for every square millimeter. This is supposed to be the most powerful model, with 64 Compute Units and a total of 4096 Stream Processors.
Let's get to the interesting thing, which is the 3DMark 11 Performance benchmark that has been leaked. All benchmarks use the same processor, something that is very interesting and appreciated. The benchmark shows that only a Vega-based graphics card has been used (supposedly) and offers a performance superior to the GTX 1070 by 35% and beats the GTX 1080 by 15%, but is below the GTX 1080 Ti, which gets an advantage of almost 20%. The scores speak for themselves, so we are not going to comment on them.
Now, the performance, much better than the Frontier Edition, a professional graphics not designed for gaming, was logical. Here there are several factors to take into account, the first being the price, which if it is attractive can be an alternative to NVIDIA graphics, clearly and the second the consumption. The Frontier Edition has very high power consumption and temperatures, which is quite a major problem, but if AMD manages to keep these two parameters in check, we could finally have an alternative to AMD's overwhelming dominance in the graphics card market.

In my opinion, the same thing always happens amd brings out something new, everyone insults them, despises them, then they turn out to be quite decent, I don't think that in life hasty criticism is bad ...
I see the same score that I get in the review of the frontier that I get from gamernexus.
It can't be, because the benchmark is from July 4, yesterday.
What I mean, they are almost the same score with the one found in the benchmark that they took on the gamernexus page. Referring to the fact that there is not much difference between the rx vega and the frontier edition in gaming mode.

Let's see if with this competition nvidia lowers the prices and I can buy a 1070, because AMD sweats me and its excessive temperatures and consumption
I took advantage of the drop in prices and bought it :), at least here in Argentina they had fallen a lot and now they increased again :(.
Well, when you buy the 1070, the new Nvidia volta is already on the market xD
