Beyond these eight titles, UL’s 3DMark and VRMark, as well as Unigine’s Superposition, are used for some quick and dirty tests that you may be able to run at home.At 331 mm², Vega 20 is much smaller than the 495 mm² Vega 10.

A Look At Testing Methodology With gaming, which happens to be the focus of this article (I know, it’s hard to tell), we have many benchmarks that will help us turn our gaming assumptions into answers. Two of these GPUs would give us the same spec’d FP64 performance as one TITAN V. It’s going to be a solid option for most workloads, and now with increased FP64, it becomes a relative steal at $700 to those who need it. The upside to any confusion surrounding Radeon VII is that the card is a good jack-of-all-trades. For comparison’s sake, the 2080 Ti offers 0.42 TFLOPS of FP64 performance. That means the card doesn’t just target gaming and creative, but now also science and finance. AMD’s RX Vega 64 offered about 0.8 TFLOPS of FP64, whereas Radeon VII, after AMD’s whim, becomes 3.52 TFLOPS. To add to this, the night prior to this article’s embargo lift, AMD told us that it decided to increase the double-precision (FP64) performance on this card to twice what was previously announced – which was already twice what we were told after CES. ![]() How many people need 300+ FPS in Siege, really? That’s a resolution we haven’t used in our high-end GPU launch reviews since 2014. Ultimately, it feels like AMD didn’t even know where to target this card, so it just decided to target it everywhere. ![]() With VII being derived from Instinct, it feels to me like AMD was forced to a 16GB VRAM config, and now has to justify that reality through what I’d consider to be misleading marketing. The move to 7nm helps AMD develop a GPU that’s more power efficient, but what fun would there be in releasing a product that only delivered the same performance, but at less power? It’s much better when we get far greater performance for the same power – or perhaps 5W more than RX Vega 64, as AMD’s spec sheet shows.Īs our power testing will highlight later, AMD’s TDP spec doesn’t align with our real-world testing, but that’s a good thing, since VII draws a good deal less power than the Vega 64, despite its big performance boost, and having twice the amount of HBM2. Creative users will lust for that long before gamers will.Īrchitecture: Radeon RX 550~590 = Polaris Radeon VII, RX Vega 56 & 64 = Vega We’re talking 1TB/s of available memory bandwidth, after all. With 16GB of HBM2, Radeon VII feels like a professional-grade card out-of-the-gate, and at launch, we questioned whether or not it should have been called the Radeon Pro VII (or even Frontier Edition 2). It just doesn’t have the Tensor or RT cores that the TITAN RTX does (but its saving grace is that it costs 1/4th as much). With its “do everything” ambition, the Radeon VII is similar to NVIDIA’s TITAN series. Highlighting VII’s gaming focus is likely for marketing more than anything else, because “world’s first 7nm jack-of-all-trades card” doesn’t have the same ring to it. During a briefing with AMD a few weeks ago to discuss the Radeon VII, we were surprised by the fact that the company jumped into a look at creative workloads before gaming ones, despite the card being touted as the “world’s first 7nm gaming” GPU. ![]()
