AMD’s RX Vega GPU has been spotted in the Futuremark database, showcasing performance that is similar to AMD's R9 Fury X, which would mean that the upcoming AMD flagship graphics card won’t be capable of competing with NVIDIA’s high-end models. However, the results posted in the Futuremark database shows that AMD could introduce three new models based on Vega architecture. All the scores have been gathered using a Ryzen 7 1800X processor.


The result shows that the card is running Fire Strike 1.1 with a score of 14'412 points and a graphics score of 17'801 points. According to our GPU chart, this GPU is able to beat NVIDIA’s GTX 1070 and the AMD R9 Fury X. The 3DMark database also shows a GPU clock speeds of 1200MHz. Looking at the memory specs, the “undetected AMD” card features 8GB of graphics VRAM running at 700MHz. Since this card is supposed to feature HBM memory, the clock frequency looks very plausible. On the Radeon R9 Fury the memory was set to 500MHz.

According to Guru3D, AMD could be working three models but so far there isn’t any additional information available. Following the first rumors, AMD might introduce a standard Vega card, then a high-end air cooled model and also a watercooled one. In other words we might see something similar to the old AMD Fury series.

AMD has already confirmed that they are going to release their Vega graphics cards during the first half of 2017. Judging by the number of teasers and news it appears that the launch of the upcoming AMD RX Vega GPU is imminent and we are pretty sure that during the next weeks more details will surface.
