The Radeon RX Vega 64 Liquid, Vega 64 & Vega 56 Test: 32 Games Benchmarked

Who the heck cares about "PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS™ Early Access"? What the heck is that? Another AMD sponsored benchmark or something?

Dude, you must have lived under a rock. It is the most played and best selling game this year: http://wccftech.com/playerunknowns-battlegrounds-tops-steam-best-selling-2017/

Glad to see my 1080Ti still reigns supreme. I will be getting a RX Vega for my amd rig though. If it's anything like my R290 in that it will surpass my Nvidia card of the day with driver updates as they mature.

Never played it and doubt I will. My rock must be huge

It's a mistaken to leave hairworks on Witcher. No one does that.

I leave hairworks on in Witcher 3.

If I were AMD, I would do the same as nVidia does. Create a gaming version of Vega GPU, put it on a diet, remove everything related to compute and just add as many CUs, ROPs, etc I can. If this card would have 8172SP or maybe in the region of 6-7K SPs, it would easily go head to head with the 1080Ti.
In the process of "optimizing" the running costs for the GPU division, AMD did the opposite, they unbalanced a well oiled machine, that put out great cards like the HD4870, HD5870, HD7970, which all fought really well with nVidia offerings and actually gained market share for AMD.

II've been really enjoying 4K gaming and been waiting on the technology to catch up glad I didn't opt out for the 1080ti

The 1080Ti is the only single card in the world right now that can run games reliably at 4k with decent in game graphic options, how have you been enjoying 4k gaming without one? SLI 980Ti setup perhaps?

Again you guys don't even realise what Vega was designed for. Please do some research before saying it is a failure.

This review is research into how it performs in games, this entire article is research...

Yes it is not the best at games

Ok good, glad we're on the same page here...

The main design was for compute and pro, but mainly for compute, at which it excels and I am not talking about the FE.

Ok sweet, So it's no use to anyone reading this article about it's gaming performance? Gotcha...

So at games it is not the best and now it is a total failure, yet gaming is by far no longer the main money maker in the GPU business.

Well if I'm building a gaming PC or upgrading a current machine, Why would I choose the slower, more power hungry Vega based GPU? You say it's not the main money maker in the GPU business, this may be true, but it's still a huge chunk of money AMD is missing out on, Ask Nvidia...

That is why even nVidia made it clear that Volta is not coming to desktop. It might still come when a new architecture is unveiled.

Or like Intel before Ryzen came out, they're not going to release anything new because the only competition is themselves? Ever thought about that?

So stop spreading lies of stuff you know nothing of.

No Lies have been spread today. You even said it yourself, Vega is not very good for gaming but great at Compute workloads, this article is about the gaming performance and that is why the comment section is full of failure comments because it isn't very good at gaming.

With Freesync/Gsync 4K on Vega/1080 is just fine. You don't need a 1080Ti. Furthermore is Nvidia trying to get another safe haven in the deep learning segment since gaming isn't stable enough. Nvidia makes a lot of money through professional and deep learning cards as well as with their attempts to get into autonomous driving. I think the gaming performance crown is nice prestigue but Nvidia would prefer to go places in their other segments. What Vega FE did price/performance wise to their quadro cards must have hurt a lot. Their luck that the cards are unavailable due to miners. I think he is right if he says Vega is no fail, but at least in the gaming market it's definitly inferior. But a fail would be if the 64 chip couldn't keep up to the 1070. A fail is the AMD reference cooler. Vega is not a fail, it just not as good as expectations wanted it to be. There is a margin between success and flop. Tech fans are much to fatalistic and gamers have an unrealistic view about their position in the market...

Vega is a commercial Success for AMD.
The Vega Liquid Edition is as fast as a 1080. That is not bad.
The Power-Consumption is not too high and can be reduced significantly by the Power Saver Mode.
I am currently using the 290X with 275W TDP and will upgrade to Vega 64 Liquid soon.

If you have not had either card it would appear you are going off of someone else's word. I find this kinda funny.

To be honest it's probably best to wait for next release cycle since we are over a year for both green and red teams last release.
