The Radeon RX Vega 64 runs at a base clock of 1,247MHz and boosts up to 1,546MHz, which is quite a bit lower than the Nvidia GTX 1080’s respective 1,607MHz base and 1,733MHz boost frequencies. Despite these lower numbers, AMD claims its Vega 64 will achieve better minimum frame rates that never dip below the 40-60 frame per second FreeSync range.
