Vega 64 is slightly slower than the GTX 1080
While the liquid cooled version wins more than it loses against the GTX 1080
Faster than GeForce GTX 1070 FE
~30% lower power than Vega 64
Great 1440p performance
Competitive with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070
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

Far Cry 5 not only reuses many animations from earlier games in the series, but also the Dunia engine is used again by Ubisoft. This time, however, some compute functions have been added, which is due to their collaboration with AMD for this title. We see...

If you're looking for an alternative to the GTX 1070, the bottom line is that you're generally getting around 10 to 12 per cent of additional performance with the Vega 56, at the cost of some efficiency. It's also interesting to note just how consistently...
