Vega 56 Radeon Red Pack may add sweetener for some buyers
Competitive at 1440p resolution gaming
Faster than the GeForce GTX 1070
Much more power efficient than RX Vega 64
Quieter than RX Vega 64
Enhanced Sync works amazingly well
FreeSync at no increased monitor cost
New instructions
Packed math
Primitive shaders
Simplified tuning profiles i
Solid performance across the board. 8GB of HBM 2 memory should prove useful in the long term. Matches the current performance value king
The GTX 1070
Which is no small feat. Modern DX12 architecture. Freesync gaming
Yea
The editors didn't like
Poor availability and thus pricing. AMD's aircooled RX Vega 64 reference card is ~5% slower than the GTX 1080 FE despite being hotter
Louder and using more power (though we have high hopes for custom cards)
Large and power-hungry
Conclusion
Higher power consumption than GTX 1070
Cooling fan is loud under load
Uncertain value given volatile pricing
Lags behind the GTX 1070 on some titles (a few older games at 1080p
In our tests)
High TDP and power requirements versus competing Nvidia cards
High power requirements
No DVI port
Higher power draw than comparable NVIDIA cards
Noisy
Coil noise at high FPS
Fan does not stop in idle
Vega seems to be less efficient than Nvidia's Pascal. We were expecting a bit more from the late challenger
Abstract: Remedy Entertainment has a knack for unconventional, if not outright crazy, games. While the ability to slow down time in Max Payne was probably inspired by Matrix, Quantum Break introduced rather unique time manipulation mechanics. One of the latest titl...

Abstract: Over the past year or so, we have received a good number of request from the (semi) professional end-users out there that would like to see how GPUs perform in the realm of content creation. Obviously there are many workloads you can fire off at a GPU, bu...
Abstract: The RTX 2060 6GB launched just over a year ago when BTR compared it versus the RX Vega 56 8GB using 39 games. We concluded this last January: The RTX 2060 Founders Edition is priced at a reasonable $349 with no price premium over other partner RTX 2060s...

The EVGA GTX 1660 Ti XC should theoretically be about $280, although prices weren't posted at time of writing. Vega 56's inbound pricing also hasn't yet been heavily pushed, so we're left slightly in the dark as to where final pricing falls for NVIDIA and...

Put it up against the GTX 1080, and the GeForce RTX 2080 crushes its Pascal predecessor. We never expected anything less. Despite its name, though, the RTX 2080 is priced in the same bracket that the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti presently occupies, and that means...
