AMD RX Vega 64 Outperforms NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti By Up To 23% In DX12 Forza 7
In quite a shocking turn of events AMD’s RX Vega 64 manages to outpace NVIDIA’s GTX 1080 Ti by up to 23% in the upcoming DirectX 12 ready Forza 7. The racing game officially debuts next Tuesday, 3rd of October on PC but folks over at ComputerBase.de managed to get their hands on it early to run their usual graphics performance tests and the results were surprising to say the least. So without any further ado let’s dig into the numbers.
AMD RX Vega 64 Flexes DirectX 12 Muscles In Forza 7
The test system included an Intel Core i7 6850K overclocked to 4.3GHz, paired with 16GB of DDR4 memory running at 3000MHz in quad-channel mode. The drivers used were Crimson ReLive 17.93 for AMD and 385. 69 for NVIDIA. These drivers are officially optimized for Forza 7.
All graphics options were set to their maximum settings and 8 x MSAA was used in all three resolutions tested.
Source : ComputerBase
At 1080p AMD’s Radeon RX Vega 64 leads the pack followed by the RX Vega 56 and NVIDIA’s GTX 1080 Ti. The RX Vega 64 delivers no less than 23% more frames per second than the GTX 1080 Ti and the RX Vega 56 leads the GTX 1080 by 18%. This is by all accounts extraordinarily unusual. Ordinarily, the GTX 1080 Ti would enjoy a comfortable 30%+ lead over both Vegas and the GTX 1080.
In the middle of the pack we see the RX 580 leading the GTX 1060 by 7.5% and the R9 390 leading its GTX 970 competitor by no less than a whopping 38%. The R9 380 leads its GTX 960 competitor by a similar margin.
99th percentile frametime analysis, which focuses on smoothness, shows the Radeons consistently out-smoothing their GeForce counterparts across the board, in some cases significantly so. For example, the RX 580 manages to deliver a measurably smoother framerate than the GTX 1080 and even the GTX 1080 Ti.
Source : ComputerBase
Upping the resolution to 2560×1440 shrinks the performance gap between the Radeons and the GeForces considerably. The RX Vega 64 still leads the pack with a 115 FPS average, 12% ahead of the GTX 1080 Ti. The RX Vega 56 falls right behind the 1080 Ti but is still ahead of the GTX 1080. In the middle of the pack the RX 580’s lead fades entirely and is now neck and neck with the GTX 1060.
Frametime analysis still shows the Radeons enjoying a comfortable smoothness lead over their GeForce counterparts. Although the hierarchy shifts slightly to the regular order that we’ve come to expect. The 580 is no longer smoother or even as smooth as NVIDIA’s top dogs and is much closer to its GTX 1060 competitor. At the high-end the Vegas still lead in smoothness.
Source : ComputerBase
At 4K we finally see things fall somewhat back to regular order. The GTX 1080 Ti finally retakes the lead, but is still far from its usual 30%+ advantage. The RX Vega 64 still leads its competitor the GTX 1080 and the RX Vega 56 still significantly leads its competitor the GTX 1070. In the mid-range the GTX 1060 retakes the lead from the RX 580 and the Fury X simply runs out of memory and falls on its face.
But once again, frametime analysis shows the Vegas in the lead. Despite the GTX 1080 Ti’s average framerate advantage over the RX Vega 64 and 56, it delivers those frames in a slightly choppier manner.
Forza 7 Frametime Analysis via ComputerBase — Lower is better
ComputerBases’s frametime analysis at 4K demonstrates this, although they compare the RX Vega 64 to its direct competitor the GTX 1080. The RX Vega 64 manages to deliver both a consistently higher framerate and consistently lower frametimes than the GTX 1080. Which means it delivers more frames per second and does so in a significantly smoother cadence, with far less choppiness and considerably fewer lag spikes.
Wrapping Things Up — What Exactly Is Going On?
It goes without saying that the performance of NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards is quite unusual in Forza 7. Close inspection of the data indicates that the GeForce cards, especially at the high end, are running into a significant bottleneck while their Radeon counterparts are not, even though 8 x MSAA was applied across the board.
This explains how the performance gap consistently shrunk by upping the resolution and why the Radeons were consistently smoother. Even at 4K, the GTX 1080 Ti is showing signs of bottlenecking and is unable to deliver the same performance lead that it usually has over the GTX 1080.
ComputerBase reached out to NVIDIA and the company confirmed that the results were indeed accurate.
ComputerBase.de — Google Translation
«The ranking in Forza 7 is very unusual. Nvidia has confirmed ComputerBase, however, that the results are so correct, so there is no problem with the system in the editorial regarding GeForce. «
So it appears there’s some magical driver wizardry that AMD has done to take advantage of the multi-threaded nature of DX12 that NVIDIA has yet to replicate for Forza 7.
Is this merely an anomaly or perhaps a pattern that we could see repeated in future DirectX 12 games? Only time will tell. Although one thing’s for certain, Vega can really spread its wings in DirectX 12. Perhaps AMD’s partnership with Bethesda will expose more of what Vega can really do in DX12 games.

AMD RX Vega 64 vs. GTX 1080 & GTX 1080 Ti
AMD’s RX Vega, the gaming version of AMD’s long-awaited high-end GPU architecture, finally saw its release this month. While RX Vega 56, the smaller brother of the full Vega GPU, offered great price-to-performance compared to NVIDIA’s price-equivalent GTX 1070, the story is different with RX Vega 64 when comparing it to its price-equivalent, the GTX 1080.
Pricing
In a previous article comparing the Vega 56 against the GTX 1070 and GTX 1080, no official statement from AMD was available regarding pricing of Vega GPUs. Now, AMD has stated multiple times that the company is doing its best to keep the RX Vega cards at the suggested retail price originally advertised: $399 for the RX 56 and $499 for the RX 64.
However, with the launch of RX Vega 56, the pricing problem has been reinforced even further, with close to no cards being available at the suggested prices. The issue cannot be blamed solely on AMD, as they can only suggest the prices retailers sell the cards at, but manufacturing partners (ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, etc) and major distributors can easily set their own prices because they know there is high demand and the cards will sell either way.
The Radeon Packs that were introduced with the launch of RX Vega only make matters more complicated, which is why there is still no concrete conclusion to the pricing situation with RX Vega cards. Due to the fact that nobody knows when the prices will stabilize, we will compare the RX Vega 64 to both the GTX 1080 ($499 MSRP) and the GTX 1080 Ti ($699 MSRP).
Gaming performance
Steve from HardwareUnboxed and Techspot compiled a huge 32-game benchmark that we recommend for a deeper dive into the performance of all RX Vega cards. A few games will be used as an example of the general performance of the reference RX Vega 64 (worst case scenario: stock settings) and the liquid-cooled RX Vega 64 (best case scenario: close to maximum overclock).
It is important to note that even though the liquid-cooled version of RX Vega 64 does come at a price of $699, a highly overclocked and well-tuned aftermarket Vega 64 will most likely perform similarly for a comparable price to the GTX 1080 (when the prices actually stabilize).
DOOM, AMD’s best case scenario, shows what the company’s hardware is actually capable of. The RX 580 is 17% faster than the GTX 1060, its direct competitor, but the RX Vega 64 is at the same level of performance as the GTX 1080. This means either the game isn’t optimized for Vega yet, or the new architecture is that much different from Polaris. The performance of the top-of-the-line overclocked RX Vega 64 would be around 8% faster than a GTX 1080. Source: Techspot.com
GTA V, still one of the most popular games today, shows Vega’s worst case scenario. Even the liquid-cooled Vega 64 falls noticeably behind the reference GTX 1070. Driver optimizations are clearly needed for GTA V, but no one knows when or if these optimizations will appear. Source: Techspot.com
PUBG, the most popular game on Steam right now, is also an example of very poor optimization for the Vega architecture. The top-of-the-line liquid-cooled RX Vega 64 is merely on par with the reference GTX 1070. Source: Techspot.com
Titanfall 2, a game that more often favors AMD graphics cards, shows the state of RX Vega’s drivers. Even though the RX 580 is slightly faster than its direct competitor, the GTX 1060, stock RX Vega 64 falls behind the reference GTX 1080. The liquid-cooled Vega 64 can barely match an overclocked GTX 1080 from MSI. Source: Techspot.com
Total War: Warhammer running in DX12 mode is an example of good driver optimization for Vega. Just like the RX 580 vs GTX 1060, the reference version of Vega 64 is able to outperform an overclocked GTX 1080 from MSI, with the highly overclocked liquid-cooled version being almost 15% faster than the competition.

Power consumption
By far the biggest gripe of Vega is not only it being very late to the market, but also its power consumption.
Overclock3D manually overclocked their RX Vega 64 as high as it would go and the total power consumption of the Vega system was actually comparable to a system with two GTX 1080 Ti cards in SLI. A single RX Vega 64 running in the pre-determined Turbo mode consumes a similar amount of power to an overclocked R9 390X or two highly overclocked ASUS Strix GTX 1080s in SLI. Even though it is possible to under-volt RX Vega cards, very few media outlets actually tested that with RX Vega 64. Source: overclock3d.net
Conclusion
Vega was hyped as being AMD’s best GPU architecture yet (as it happens with all new microarchitectures). Unfortunately, the Radeon Technology Group heavily underdelivered this time. Even though Vega 10 (the fully unlocked Vega 64 GPU) is of comparable performance to NVIDIA’s GP104 GPU (the fully unlocked GTX 1080 chip) in terms of gaming, it is still a year late to the market and is a much larger chip, making it more expensive to produce.
Judging by Vega 10’s size (484 mm²) it should be competing with the GP102 (471 mm²), the chip in Titan X Pascal and GTX 1080 Ti. And Vega does beat out GP102 in certain compute benchmarks, but in gaming it can barely compete with the much smaller GP104 (314 mm²). Even then, judging by the benchmarks presented by many media outlets, we can confirm that the drivers for RX Vega are still nowhere near where they should be. In some games where the RX 580 is able to beat the GTX 1060, Vega 64 falls behind a non-overclocked GTX 1070. In other games, overclocked Vega 64 can actually step on the toes of the GTX 1080 Ti. The drivers look to be a mess and it is not known when and if they will improve.
In conclusion, RX Vega 64 may be a good buy only if it’s cheaper than the GTX 1080 and is paired with a FreeSync monitor. Otherwise, accounting for the extreme power consumption, poor driver optimizations in many games and current lack of aftermarket cards and competitive pricing, we currently recommend an aftermarket GTX 1080 over the RX Vega 64. If the price of the AMD card is comparable to the GTX 1080 Ti, then there is absolutely no reason to get AMD. The 1080 Ti card is ~30% faster in all scenarios and consumes less power.

> AMD Radeon VII versus RTX 2080 Ti, RTX 2080, RX Vega 56 and GTX 1080 Ti: it’s hard to be first
06/29/2019

AMD was the first to bring to market a 7nm GPU for discrete graphics cards. This happened back in November 2018 with the release of the Radeon Instinct MI60 and MI50 graphics accelerators. They are designed for use in deep learning systems and neural networks.
Then, in January 2019, AMD announced the Radeon VII, also based on a 7nm GPU. But it’s already aimed at gamers and content creators.
It is based on the Vega 20 XT GPU based on the GCN 5.1 microarchitecture. The transition to a thinner process technology reduced its area by 33% and increased the number of transistors by 6% compared to the 14nm Vega 10 XT, which is based on the Radeon Vega 64 graphics card.
Thanks to this, there is room on the substrate for two more 4 GB stacks of HBM2 memory. In addition, the memory frequency increased slightly and the bus width increased by 2 times, so the throughput increased by 112%.
But there are fewer computing units in the Vega 20 structure compared to Vega 10: the number of stream processors has been reduced to 3840, and texture units to 240. But the second generation of the Vega architecture can boast of higher frequencies and lower latency, faster ROP -blocks and improved performance when processing integer and floating point operations.
All this promises a performance boost. For example, 27% faster color grading and editing 8K video in DaVinci Resolve 15, 29% faster 8K video editing in Adobe Premiere. Rendering 3D objects in Blender is also 27% faster.
Gamers are promised consistently comfortable gameplay in modern blockbusters in 4K resolution and the ability to stream games in parallel without feeling a drop in performance.
Fast 16 GB HBM2 memory plays a significant role in achieving these results. Think it’s too much? Everything depends on the tasks. Encoding 4K video in Adobe Premiere will require about 10 GB, while 8K video needs 11.5 GB.
Game developers are also not shy about asking for more and more video memory. The same Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will require about 12 GB at maximum settings, Far Cry 5 — almost 13 GB. In the Resident Evil 2 menu, it says that more than 12 GB is needed, but at first 10 was occupied during the passage. In any case, the 8 GB buffer is already not enough for passing blockbusters at maximum settings.
Not only the size is important, but also the speed characteristics of the memory. For example, the frame time graph in Radeon VII in Far Cry 5 is smoother and more stable than in the GeForce RTX 2080. This should improve the statistics of very rare events and the comfort of the gameplay.
One last important thing to note: the Vega 20 crystal contains 2 times more temperature sensors than the Vega 10. This improves the accuracy of temperature monitoring. In addition, the junction temperature is now used to detect throttling and automatically control the speed of the cooling fans. This has a beneficial effect on the dynamic overclocking of the GPU and improves the overall level of performance.
We got our hands on the reference version of the Radeon VII from AMD. We did not disassemble it, so as not to damage the thermal pad on the GPU. But we know for sure that she received a 10 + 2 + 2-phase power subsystem controlled by two IR35217 controllers.
The power consumption of the graphics card is 300W, so the cooler must be very efficient. It includes a vapor chamber, five copper heat pipes, an aluminum heatsink, and three 75mm axial fans. There is also a special frame that supports this entire overall structure and transfers heat from the power elements of the power subsystem to the main radiator.
In tests, the GPU temperature rose to 78°C. AMD traditionally does not indicate the maximum temperature, so it is difficult to say how close it is to a critical level. But there was no throttling.
As far as clock speeds go, we’ve become accustomed to the fact that NVIDIA graphics cards usually operate at higher speeds than specified in GPU-Z. With AMD, it’s a different story — 1800 MHz dynamic frequency is a peak value that can be seen very rarely. Basically, the speed fluctuates in the range of 1400 — 1750 MHz.
Now let’s move on to the opponents. The main competitor for the Radeon VII is the RTX 2080. Both cards have a recommended price tag of $699. On our market, the Founders Edition can be found on average for $750, while the Radeon VII will set you back $820.
The RTX 2080 GamingPro OC from Palit is tested. She received a small factory overclocking of the dynamic frequency of the GPU and a dual-fan cooler.
You can also find the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti on sale with an even lower price tag. If you are planning to upgrade your PC, then do not forget to take it into account. In this case, the model used is the series MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti ARMOR with a factory overclocked GPU, 11 GB of GDDR5X memory and an efficient 2-fan cooler.
The third opponent is top in every respect ASUS ROG Strix RTX 2080 Ti OC . By default, it uses the Gaming profile, in which the dynamic frequency of the GPU is 7% higher than the reference one, but there is also an OC mode in reserve with additional overclocking. It is also notable for a reinforced power subsystem, almost a 3-slot cooler and support for a number of proprietary technologies.
Internal opponents for Radeon VII are RX Vega series video cards. We had a stock SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon RX Vega56 with a 3-fan cooler and factory overclocked GPU from 1471 to 1550 MHz.
From past tests, we remember that RX Vega 64 is 10-15% faster. Therefore, to complete the picture, we added the calculated indicators of this video card to the graphs by increasing the results of Vega 56 by 15%.
The following stand was used for testing:
- Intel Core i9-9900K
- Vinga CL3008B
- ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming SLI
- 2 x 8GB DDR4-3400 Patriot Viper 4
- Apacer AS2280P2 M.2 NVMe 480 GB
- Apacer Panther AS340 960GB
- Seagate Barracuda Pro 4TB ST4000DM006
- Vinga VPS-1200Pl
- Vinga Ark
Gameplays recorded by an external system with AVerMedia Live Gamer 4K, i.e. without performance loss. The program FPS Monitor was used for monitoring.
Let’s start the test session with a flight around the world Metro: Exodus in Full HD at ultra settings. Here the main rival for the Radeon VII is the GTX 1080 Ti: according to the statistics of rare and very rare events, AMD is better, and NVIDIA is better in terms of average speed. The advantage of the RTX 2080 reaches 13%, and the RTX 2080 Ti goes ahead by at least 23%.
After switching to 4K, the Radeon VII, RTX 2080 and GTX 1080 Ti give approximately the same results. The lead of the RTX 2080 Ti is slightly reduced, but still holds above 20%.
In Shadow of the Tomb Raider , at maximum settings, the test card can only cope with its internal opponents without problems. A confident advantage over the GTX 1080 Ti is observed only according to the 1% Low statistics. The rest of the competitors do not leave her a chance to win.
In Ultra HD, Radeon VII feels more confident. For example, the RTX 2080’s lead drops to a maximum of 29%, while it was as high as 52% in Full HD. And when compared with Vega 56, on the contrary, there is an increase in the advantages of the new AMD flagship from a maximum of 33 to 40%. 9They wanted to test 0003
Strange Brigade in Vulkan mode, but during the test the load on the video card constantly changed from 0 to 100%. Therefore, the final figures turned out to be 40-70% lower than in DirectX 12 mode. It’s not clear what this is connected with, but we decided to use the API from Microsoft for the test.
The Radeon VII feels so good in it that even in Full HD at ultra preset for the first time outperforms the RTX 2080 by 10%. However, only on the average frame rate. But according to the statistics of rare and very rare events, all NVIDIA video cards were better.
But in 4K, no one can dispute the second place of Radeon VII. It outperforms the GeForce RTX 2080 and GeForce GTX 1080 Ti by at least 20%. Only the RTX 2080 Ti was ahead, but its lead does not exceed 12%.

With the release of the GeForce RTX generation, NVIDIA has ushered in a new era of gaming graphics. New accelerators extend the power of traditional rendering with support for ray tracing and deep learning technologies. The Turing architecture also has a number of other advantages, which are detailed in a special review. Therefore, the new GeForce RTX show a good increase in performance in any task, and older models raise the overall performance bar to a new level. We have already devoted separate materials to the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti and GeForce RTX 2080. Now we will supplement them with new tests, expanding the number of test applications and test modes. Let’s compare the older GeForce RTX with the old flagship GeForce GTX 1080 Ti and Radeon RX Vega 64 at high resolutions of 2560×1440 and 3840×2160. Let’s find out who is better in confronting the GeForce RTX 2080 and GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, and what advantage does the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti have.
Reference video cards or similar models will take part in the comparative testing.
Let’s briefly mention the main features of the reference versions of the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti and GeForce RTX 2080. These video cards belong to the Founders Edition product line and are officially sold through the NVIDIA website.
GeForce RTX 2080 (Ti) Founders Edition comes in a box of two halves, where the device itself is securely fixed inside.
A DisplayPort/DVI adapter cable is included with the graphics card. This is an important accessory, because older models do not have a DVI connector, and someone may need such a connection. There is also a multilingual manual.
GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Founders Edition and GeForce RTX 2080 Founders Edition are absolutely identical in appearance and design. Their length is 27 cm. Cooling of the new design — instead of the «turbine» is the usual scheme with a radiator in the entire area of the board and two blowing fans.
A detailed description and photos of cooling are presented in the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Founders Edition review. To repeat, we note that the new cooler maintains the operating temperatures of the flagship video card in the range of 82-84 °C, which can be called the standard temperature regime for NVIDIA’s top reference design solutions.
The simpler GeForce RTX 2080 Founders Edition with the same cooling is cooler and quieter, with operating temperatures below 80°C. Our familiarity with such a model was extremely limited, so in testing it will be replaced by the ASUS DUAL-RTX2080-O8G, which is absolutely identical to the Founders Edition in terms of frequency characteristics.
It is worth mentioning that the Founders Edition of the new series work with a slight Boost acceleration relative to standard specifications, and such factory overclocking is regulated by NVIDIA itself. This does not hurt to form a general opinion about the potential of video cards. Also on the market there are many non-reference models with even more factory overclocking.
The old generation is represented by the standard GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition.
In comparison, there is a reference video card AMD Radeon RX Vega 64. This model is weaker and cheaper than all the other participants. But at the time of testing, AMD had no other options. The announcement of the Radeon VII took place recently, and the availability of new items after the release is a big question.
You can read about the temperature and noise characteristics of each video card in separate reviews. For now, we’ll just focus on performance.
The technical data of the participants are given in the table below.
