It seems that the new Futuremark VRMark Cyan Room benchmark suits the AMD RX Vega very well, because it is based on the DirectX 12 API.

A new tool developed by Futuremark has arrived for the benchmark of different products, in this case intended for graphics cards. Futuremark is one of the oldest benchmark tool developers on the market, known for developing high-quality and accurate software. To continue leading the benchmark market, they have developed the VRMark Cyan Room tool, which has designed a utility to measure the performance of graphics cards based on the DirectX 12 tool and virtual reality, where it seems that AMD is benefiting.

The VRMark Cyan Room tool is an innovative synthetic test that allows the execution of resolutions up to 5K, allowing to see the full potential of the hardware and has been developed based on the DirectX 12 API, implementing all its functions and making the most of the graphics cards installed in a system. AMD has an advantage over NVIDIA, since its graphic architecture is specially designed for the DX12 API, while current NVIDIA solutions are not so good under this API, among other things, because there are hardly any games that implement the API. on the market, for now.

Cyan Room seems to be much friendlier with the GCN architecture, especially with the AMD RX Vega, which is above the GTX 1080, under DX 12. The data is from AMD and therefore we lack data, such as the resolution at which the benchmark and consumption have been executed, but despite that, the data is clear, AMD solutions are above those of NVIDIA. It should be noted that the GTX 1080 Ti has been omitted, which was initially the objective of the Vega 64.
