According to a leak spotted by our friends over at Videocardz, several benchmark scores of what could be the upcoming Radeon RX Vega graphics card have appeared online. So far it looks like progress has been made, but the card is still not as quick as we would all like it to be.
Videocardz has compiled a list of 3DMark 11 results, putting the 687F:C1 labelled card up against overclocked and stock NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 as well as 1080 pixel accelerators. The good news so far: The 687F:C1 which is expected to be the upcoming Radeon RX Vega card, is faster than overclocked GeForce GTX 1070 cards but still slower than GeForce GTX 1080 accelerators.
Compared to previous results from what could possibly be a Radeon RX Vega card performance went up by 15%, which is quite impressive to see and lets us hope that at launch this card might be even faster. The guys over at Videocardz have also listed the clock speeds and the 687F:C1 was running at 1630MHz on the core and the 8GB of HBM2 memory were running at 945MHz.
Keeping in mind, that the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 clocks quite a bit higher shows, that the AMD card has to be quite efficient when it comes to IPC performance. In fact, the overclocked GTX 1080 Videocardz is listing clocks almost 22% higher. If AMD would be able to close the clock speed gap, then I’m pretty sure the 687F:C1 could even compete with a GTX 1080 Ti.
But still, so far this all has to be taken with a grain of salt and much of this information is based on assumptions. Hopefully AMD is going to disclose more relevant info during the CAPSAICIN SIGGRAPH event on Sunday, July 30, which is when the Radeon RX Vega cards are supposed to be launched.
