As we saw in our review of the Radeon RX Vega 64, generally speaking, the graphics card offers roughly equivalent performance to Nvidia’s GTX 1080 – but not in Forza 7, where in a surprising turn of events the Vega 64 outstrips the GTX 1080 Ti by a good amount.
Yes, we said the GTX 1080 Ti, Nvidia’s powerhouse GPU which is a lofty step above the vanilla GTX 1080. And when running Forza 7 in DX12, AMD’s Vega 64 beat the 1080 Ti by no less than 23% in Full HD resolution.
This was in a test conducted by CompterBase.de using a PC built around a Core i7 6850K processor (overclocked to 4.3GHz) with all graphics options maxed and 8x anti-aliasing turned on in 1920 x 1080 resolution. AMD’s card hit almost 137fps compared to 111fps for the 1080 Ti.
Even more surprisingly, the Vega 56 also outdid Nvidia’s card, recording a result of 122fps.
This is one specific circumstance, of course, in one particular game, so we can’t go drawing too many conclusions. But nonetheless it’s a really eye-opening benchmark, we’re sure you’ll agree.
Cranking up the resolution closed the gap: at 2560 x 1440 the Vega 64’s lead …read more
