Amd rx vega improves its performance 5% every month, beats geforce gtx 1080

We have new benchmarks from an AMD Radeon RX Vega engineering sample, again they belong to a card identified as 687F: C1 and that has been shown superior to the GeForce GTX 1080 in the 3D Mark 11 test.

AMD Radeon RX Vega manages to outperform the GeForce GTX 1080 in 3D Mark 11

The 687F: C1 engineering sample equipped with an AMD Vega chip has been passed through 3D Mark 11 again giving a score of 31, 873 points, a figure higher than the 27, 890 that it gave in the first place and that serves to place itself above the GeForce GTX 1080 Gaming X that offers a score of 31, 873 points. The operating frequencies of the AMD card have not changed, so a 15% performance improvement has been achieved thanks to the optimization work with the drivers.

These are the insides of the AMD VEGA Frontier Edition

The first performance data of the Vega-based 687F: C1 appeared three months ago so AMD has achieved a 5% improvement every month thanks to optimization work with the graphics drivers, which is a final improvement of one 15% and that should continue to increase soon with new versions of the drivers.

AMD Vega includes important innovations such as HBC (High Bandwidth Cache) and HBCC (High Bandwidth Cache Controller) that need significant optimization work so that they can be fully exploited. The design of the GCN architecture has undergone a significant evolution with Vega so the AMD engineering team has a very hard job ahead of it.

The final performance of the Radeon RX Vega remains to be seen, for now we know that the TDP of the card will be around 300W, which is what the Vega Frontier manages, which is based on the same Vega 10 silicon although optimized for the world. professional, in any case the hardware is the same so we should not expect large differences in consumption. If Vega finally struggles with a 170W card like the GeForce GTX 1080 it doesn't look too good for AMD.
