Alleged AMD RX Vega benchmarks have surfaced online
How much performance does Vega offer?
Several benchmark scores of what is thought to be AMD’s upcoming RX Vega GPU have appeared online, with the GPU being listed with a clock speed of 1630MHz, which is thought to be the GPU’s boost clock speed.
These scores show GPU performance that is considerably higher than early RX Vega benchmarks, thanks to higher clocks on both the HBM2 memory used and increases in core clock speeds. This GPU has 8GB of HBM2 memory that is clocked at 945MHz.
The early 3DMARK 11 benchmark results have been tabled below by Videocardz, this Vega based GPU (687F:C1) comes with benchmark results that offer similar performance to factory overclocked GTX 1080 models, which suggests that the RX Vega will surpass Nvidia’s GTX 1080 reference design.

At this time it is unknown whether or not these results are using AMD’s newest RX Vega gaming drivers, or if they are running at the same clock speeds as AMD’s final/retail RX Vega GPUs, though at least the results are a little more positive than what has already been seen with the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition.
One thing that must also be remembered is that this is using a DirectX 11 benchmarking tool and that this result will not be representative of all gaming loads, especially when using modern APIs like DirectX 12 and Vulkan.
