In two of the games presented-Battlefield 1 and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare-the RX Vega 64 delivered markedly better 99th-percentile frame times. In all cases, the Vega card delivered 99th-percentile frame rates that would keep its performance within FreeSync range when paired with such a monitor. In this scenario, the company claims the RX Vega 64’s 99th-percentile frame rates will generally fall within the low side of the FreeSync range for the display, meaning gamers shouldn’t experience the tearing and general unpleasantness of un-synced operation beneath the low side of the FreeSync range.ĪMD tested the six games it used for this scenario using a mixture of high and ultra presets, so the numbers it generated should be reasonably representative of real-world performance.ĪMD also presented 99th-precentile FPS numbers for a Radeon RX Vega 64 paired with a 4K FreeSync display with a refresh rate range of 40 to 60 Hz. The first case that AMD presents is with a premium 3440×1440 FreeSync display with a 48 Hz-to-100-Hz refresh rate range. Instead of focusing on average frame rates, the company argued for the 99th-percentile frame rates (derived from 99th-percentile frame times) that the RX Vega 64 can produce and how those frame rates match up with FreeSync monitors. Early performance numbers for Vega from Frontier Edition cards didn’t include any gains from the DSBR, for example, and that feature will be enabled for the first time with the Radeon RX Vega release drivers.ĪMD took an unusual tack in discussing the potential performance of Radeon RX Vega cards.

The Cliff’s Notes is that some of the performance potential of the Vega architecture, like double-rate packed math, the draw-stream binning rasterizer, support for primitive shaders, and the High Bandwidth Cache Controller, are going to require driver optimizations or developer targeting (or both) to eventually run at their best.

We learned a wealth of new architecture details regarding the Vega GPU at this event, although the short window between the presentation of that information and the NDA lift for this article means that I’ll be holding off on a deep-dive until our full Vega review. This card will have a board power of 210W, and it’s positioned to compete with Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 1070. AMD claims it’ll be good for 10.5 TFLOPS of peak single-precision throughput and 21 TFLOPS of half-precision throughput. This card will have a typical boost range of 1471 MHz and base clocks of 1156 MHz, and somewhat lower memory clocks resulting in a peak transfer rate of 410 GB/s. Interestingly, it’ll still have all 64 of its ROPs, but it’ll ship with only 224 texturing units enabled. As its name implies, the Vega 10 GPU on this card has 56 of its 64 compute units enabled, for 3584 stream processors in total. The most interesting RX Vega graphics card may be the previously-unknown RX Vega 56. At least for the air-cooled card, once the stock is sold through, the only way to get a reference air-cooled Vega will be with the black shroud you’ll see below.
The swanky aluminum-bedecked cards you see above are both limited editions, and AMD claims that label is genuine. Both of these RX Vega 64 cards are positioned to compete with Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 1080. Those figures are good for 12.66 TFLOPS of peak single-precision performance and 25.3 TFLOPS of half-precision throughput. The air-cooled RX Vega 64 will offer a typical boost range of 1546 MHz, a base clock of 1247 MHz, and a board power of 295W. It’ll offer peak single-precision performance of 13.7 TFLOPS and peak half-precision performance of 27.5 TFLOPS. This card will offer a typical boost range of 1677 MHz, a base clock of 1406 MHz, and a board power of 345W. The RX Vega 64 Liquid-Cooled Edition will be the highest-performance Vega card at launch. Both cards will get a GPU with 4096 stream processors, 256 texturing units, 8GB of HBM2 RAM running at a transfer rate of 484 GB/s, and 64 ROPs. The fully-enabled Vega 10 GPU will find a home in the Radeon RX Vega 64 Liquid-Cooled Edition and the Radeon RX Vega 64. The high-level details of the Vega architecture have been known to us for some time, but the implementation of that architecture on Radeon RX gaming cards has remained a mystery until now.ĪMD will be releasing the Radeon RX Vega with two different GPU configurations across three products.
