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.
Has appeared by surprise in the Guru3D forum the first benchmark of the AMD RX Vega graphics card, belonging to the synthetic benchmark 3DMark Time Spy. We have already been warning that in the coming days and weeks we would see the first data on the Vega graphics card, since AMD has officially confirmed that these graphics cards will hit the market during this quarter, or what is the same we are less than two months for these graphics cards to hit the market.
We can see that this AMD RX Vega graphics card has obtained a result in Time Spy of 5950 points and a graphical score of 5721 points. Guru3D has included the result in a 3DMark Time Spy comparison table and we can see that this graphics card, whatever the model, is below the NVIDIA GTX 1080 by a big difference, but slightly above the NVIDIA GTX 1070. The graphics card does not detect it as such and we see that it has 8GB HBM2 with a working frequency of 700MHz, for this memory.
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.
Before the trolls come, vega is an architecture not a particular card
Excited. But Vega. HBM2. What AMD does is somewhat similar to Ryzen. Launch a completely new architecture. Without having the time to optimize it, make the correct modifications
You have the design, the tools, and what is missing is testing phases. To see how the final result is.
"Without having the time to optimize it to make the right modifications"
damn they have been with this architecture for more than 4 years and they haven't made respective improvements, that's no excuse
I say that in the sense. To do an investigation. And launch it without doing the testing phases.
The tests go inside the friend package !!
There are two cards, one 4GB and the other 8GB.
My results are different from those of the Guru 3D table, however the difference is little, so it seems that we are facing something interesting with Vega.
