These results are simply not that impressive for what is expected to be AMD’s upcoming flagship GPU, though it is likely that this GPU will be a cut-down version of Vega that is designed to compete with the GTX 1070 and sit above the RX 480/580. Â
3DMARK’s database also shows GPU clock speeds of 1200MHz, which is lower than what is expected from Vega, especially given the clock speeds available on AMD’s older Polaris GPUs. These clock speeds could improve with future samples, again increasing performance. This benchmark result was from April 12th, so it is likely that performance will improve in the weeks coming up to Vega’s launch. Â
Like most early benchmark results, these performance numbers are indicative of nothing, as many factors could change the performance of this GPU before launch. Let’s hope that this is a lower-end Vega variant, as we really need some competition in the high-end GPU market.
