The first synthetic benchmark of an AMD RX Vega graphics card appears, in this case under the Time Spy that places it well below the NVIDIA GTX 1080 and slightly exceeds the NVIDIA GTX 1070.

The first benchmark results for the AMD RX Vega graphics card have unexpectedly appeared on the Guru3D forum , specifically from the 3DMark Time Spy synthetic benchmark. We've been hinting that we'd see the first data on the Vega graphics card in the coming days and weeks, as AMD has officially confirmed that these cards will arrive on the market this quarter, meaning we're less than two months away from their release.

We can see that this AMD RX Vega graphics card achieved a Time Spy score of 5950 points and a graphics score of 5721 points. Guru3D has included the result in a 3DMark Time Spy comparison chart, and we can see that this graphics card, regardless of the model, falls significantly short of the NVIDIA GTX 1080, but is slightly ahead of the NVIDIA GTX 1070. The graphics card isn't detected as such, and we can see that it has 8GB of HBM2 memory with a clock speed of 700MHz.

Drivers 22.19.384.20 have been used as drivers for this graphics card. These drivers have unapproved FM, for example, therefore we are talking about beta drivers. The truth is that the result seems quite low considering that this graphics card works at a frequency of 1200MHz. We are probably looking at an engineered graphics card, therefore the market frequencies could be slightly higher when it hits the market. To make the benchmark, a motherboard with an X370 chipset and an AMD Ryzen 7 1800X processor have been used.

We would not say that the data is final under any precept, since this graphics card is probably an engineering graphics or we can be talking about the most basic graphics card of the AMD RX Vega and the data reading that it does is not real, although the most logical option is that it is an old engineering graph and the data is filtered to put the long teeth. It is clear that it is not the final version of this graphics card.
