Hitman (2016)
Hitman (2016) (DirectX 12)
Hitman is a third-person stealth video game in which players take control of Agent 47, a genetically enhanced, superhuman assassin, travelling to international locations and eliminating contracted targets. As in other games in the Hitman series, players are given a large amount of room for creativity in approaching their assassinations.[5] For instance, players may utilize long-ranged rifles to snipe a target from a long distance, or they may decide to assassinate the target at close range by using blade weapons or garrote wire. Players can also use explosives, or disguise the assassination by creating a seemingly accidental death. –Wikipedia
Settings used for Hitman
Its close enough to call it a tie between the GTX 1080 and the RX Vega 64 in Hitman using DX12, though the liquid-cooled version of the card outpaces it by 5-6%.

Would have been interesting to see some ryzen based testing as well. Maybe you guys could do a follow up review with that?
How do Vega 56 and Vega 64
How do Vega 56 and Vega 64 compare to Vega Fe in professional workstation tasks? If half the vram don’t crush it two hard, Titan XP performance at half price would be sweet, (for those who aren’t in it for hardcore gaming.)
Take off, ya hosers.

What a bunch of sell out’s
What a bunch of sell out’s gold really? Neither card deserves an award. much less gold.
I’m sorry if I missed it but
I’m sorry if I missed it but what was the clock speed of the gtx 1080 and 1070 or were they at stock speed?
From Anandtech’s Vega review:
From Anandtech’s Vega review:
“Connecting the memory controllers to the rest of the GPU – and the various fixed function blocks as well – is AMD’s Infinity Fabric. The company’s home-grown technology for low-latency/low-power/high-bandwidth connections, this replaces Fiji’s unnamed interconnect method. Using the Infinity Fabric on Vega 10 is part of AMD’s efforts to develop a solid fabric and then use it across the company; we’ve already seen IF in use on Ryzen and Threadripper, and overall it’s a lot more visible in AMD’s CPUs than their GPUs. But it’s there, tying everything together.
On a related note, the Infinity Fabric on Vega 10 runs on its own clock domain. It’s tied to neither the GPU clock domain nor the memory clock domain. As a result, it’s not entirely clear how memory overclocking will fare on Vega 10. On AMD’s CPUs a faster IF is needed to carry overclocked memory. But since Vega 10’s IF connects a whole lot of other blocks – and outright adjust the IF’s clockspeed based on the workload need (e.g. video transcoding requires a fast VCE to PCIe link), it’s not as straightforward as just overclocking the HBM2. Though similarly, HBM1 overclocking wasn’t very straightforward either, so Vega 10 is not a great improvement in this regard.”
Interesting so maybe that Infinity Fabric on Vega maybe crossing the same PCIe card and a dual Vega 56 card to take on 4K! More of this GPU based IF technology/IP needs to be looked at for maybe dual RX Vega 56 PCIe card SKUs to come!
Can that IF cross ove GPU dies like it crosses ove CPU dies is the big question to be looked at.
Vega gets its biggest
Vega gets its biggest performance gains from HBM2 overclock not by touching its already high Core clocks especially on the liquid version, so i’m confused has to why you touch the memory speeds?? Thats like 10% performance increase across the board with little impact on power consumption, @#% really??
I think I’ll just stick my 2
I think I’ll just stick my 2 x R9 Nanos.
There doesn’t seem much to gain by going to Vega.
Did you re-test Vega FE or
Did you re-test Vega FE or are you using the results from previous testing?
I guess, the actual question here is whether all the changes made for RX Vega also apply to Vega FE or not?
VEGA is good only in Canada,
VEGA is good only in Canada, Greenland, Norway, Sweeden and Russia, but there is a rumor that VEGA will be banned from global market because of global warming….
That wouldn’t be wise to have
That wouldn’t be wise to have all the Vega cards up north. Might detach a few giant icebergs from the northern glacier with all that excess heat.
Ha ha ha that’s funny but I’m
Ha ha ha that’s funny but I’m all for a consumer GPU Tax to maybe fund those 2 Toshiba/Westinghouse nuclear reactors in Georgia. So lets TAX consumer GPUs worldwide and get some Thorium reactors online and that should offset global warming. Lets make Toshiba/Westinghouse finish the job at break-even costs and use a consumer GPU tax to do so. Tax Toshiba’s NAND production also. Bit coin mining GPUs should be double taxed and any bitcoin farms should be inspected to make sure they are taxed enough to cover the global warming impacts of coin mining.
They could even build Thorium reactors at all the recently closed nuke plants and use the Thorium reactors to burn up all that nuclear spent fuel and generate power in the process until there is no more/little waste remaining that would need to be shipped off site and stored for hundreds of years.
I’d be for a GPU tax you
I’d be for a GPU tax you describe but with one caveat. The company with the least efficiency pays more, the company that makes more efficient cards should be penalized less. A petrol tax of a few cents would probably net more revenue however.
No that GPU tax is paid by
No that GPU tax is paid by the consumer at the point of sale and all consumer GPUs need a global warming tax. No business or professional GPU tax as that’s GPUs used for productive uses. Petrol is already taxed. All gaming/mining GPUs need to be taxed because that usage in not as necssary as say GPU’s used for medical/medicine research, engineering, real productive usage of CPUs/GPUs.
AMD’s Vega GPUs, if they are underclocked can be closer to Nvidia’s effency levels and AMD’s Vega GPUs clocked lower and used for compute workloads can even beat Nvidia in the compute performance/Watt metrics.
So only consumers gaming and coin miners should get to pay the GPU tax, because those usages are not essential and use plenty of power and tax the grid. Add some CPU taxes there also for non professional CPU usage.
You do not tax Companies on any things but net profits and it’s the companies’ Stockholders that get to pay capital gains taxes. Taxing Net profits encourages companies to invest more of the profits back the companies product development and that also creates more jobs.
I also believe in a military draft lottery based on finding those military age gamers with a propensity towards FPS/military games usage where everyone of military service age across the whole population gets a single draft number and a single capsule to be tossed into the military draft lottery barrel.
And then for each FPS/Military game purchased that purchased game nets that gamer an extra required capsule with his’s/her’s/inbetween’s extra draft capsule added to increase that person’s chances of geting some real FPS/Military gaming experience without the chance of respawn if they are taken out!
Special methods should be used to find and reward the FPS/Military high score earners with some extra capsules earned into the draft lottery barrel and an an even greater chance of getting some really high resolution war games experience as the proud property of U-Sam’s Government Issue FPS/Wargaming team.

I would strongly suggest you
I would strongly suggest you stop blaming me for your mistakes.
Through no fault of you own,
Through no fault of you own, the entire software stack with which respect yours/others websites runs on is buggy from the Drupal, Open Source CMS framework, on down into the call stack into the IE/Other browsers and deeper down into the windows OS software frameworks and that includs the frameworks that any web provided Spam filter(service) is based on(open source and proprietary). And that’s just the nature of the complex software/hardware state machine designs that the entire computing industry is based on from since forever with respect to computing systems and that buggy software state of affaris that can never be proven entirely correct.
That said, I do get your /S.
But it appears that M$ has Over-Tweaked Its windows Base, and derived, Textbox Class Objects and that’s as buggy as hell also by any resonable software standards. So double posts are par for the course and somtimes it’s the failure of the spam filter software stack and sometimes other software stacks especially where web based posting functionality and software framework systems transactional atomics are concerned.
Just try posting on your website a reply to a post on the second or higher page, if your forum posts/replies run into multi-page lengths, and that is buggy with respect to users PC OS systems, and the Drupal/script/PHP/DB/other systems software stacks also.
But thank goodness that the latest M$ cummulative IE 11 security updates has fixed some of the problems with long running ad scripts totally borking the browser(IE11) because that was really a problem for a few months there, and IE11 is not the best way to browse by any stretch on the imagination.
There is no better example of why Linus Torvalds insists on using C and not C++ for the Linux Kernel when one looks at some of the windows OS/frameworks(C++ mostly) and how Buggy they are. Linus Has the right Idea, but even C is not without its issues.

Now I have been in work and constantly checked yesterday and today. Couple of times an hour. 5 different sites. In Ireland/UK.
The Pre-Order prices have added extra 100.?
No its not suppose to be any better mining than a fury, so whats going on
I wouldn’t be getting one except I have a wide screen free sync monitor.
Might hook my 1080 up and see what its like and just get another one.
The extra $100 was added by
The extra $100 was added by AMD as rebate was only limited to initial batch of Vega 64 cards. What’s this now AMD is gouging it’s customers. I thought they were the good guys.

Three displayport 1.4 ports and 1 HDMI 2.0. Supposedly you can have 120hz support at 4k with DP 1.4.
Vega interest me alot from
Vega interest me alot from the technical side, how much of this translates into additional performance i dont know but it will impact it. Currently so many features of vega arnt enabled, and alot of the stuff even when enabled will do diddly squat for most games out now.
But off the top of my head things not enabled are HBCC, that could have a huge effect not on performance exactly but 512tb of vram is just mind blown.
Primitive shaders, that could be a massive pump in performance.
Rapid packed math, which is basically black magic to me but as i understand it thats basically hyperthreading for a gpu, if thats wrong please correct me.
FP16 packed math hasn’t
FP16 packed math hasn’t anything to do with hyperthreading, it’s just combining two 16 bit operation on a single FP32 ALU dubling performance at the cost of reduced precision but is not a magic bullet, there was a reason if the industry moved from FP16 to FP32 15years ago, 16bit aren’t enough most of the graphics
A GOLD award for vega? You
A GOLD award for vega? You are joking right?? It’s a piece of hot shit, a total technological failure, a regression in almost every possible way. More than 2 generations behind the competition now and priced like garbage. You guys are tarnishing your reputation with that nonsense. AMD doesn’t need your charity awards.
Go read that techgage article
Go read that techgage article linked to in many posts on this forum thread! Vega 64 is a compute monster for thousands less than that Quadro P6000-24GB! Even the Titan XP falls to Vega on some workstation compute workloads.
AMD’s stockholders Know that Vega is a winner in that professional compute/AI market that counts more for some higher margin revenues than any gaming only market will produce. And Nvidia’s JHH Knows this also about compute/AI markets!
Vega 64 is right up there with the GTX 1080 in gaming in spite of that extra compute, ditto for the Vega 56 with a little more compute stripped out but still enough ROP/TMU resources to closely match the GTX 1080’s ROP/TMU resources. So that Vega 56 will beat the GTX 1070 and most likely be overclocked to get nearer to the GTX 1080 in gaming performance metrics.
And the miners and pro markets love all the extra compute that the Vega 10 GPU micro-arch can spare, and that’s money in AMD’s bank, same as any gaming only money/revenues!
Money Be Money Sonny!

You mean many post made by the same guy with different name? 🙂
Compute monster… really? Vega has the same theoretical compute power of GP102 but in practise due to their lower compute core occupancy it won’t even match it
A gold award for matching

Wasn’t the Frontier Edition made for that purpose? This is a gaming card you putz. Nobody gives a crap about compute in gaming cards – they should be judged for their GAMING performance. Goddamn intellectually bankrupt shills.
Vega is ok. A Custom cooled

1070 or 1080 will easily beat Vega out of the box and use less power. The higher production costs might limit availability.

Why does this review show such a large difference between RX Vega 64 and Vega Frontier Edition when this Witcher 3 video shows that they’re essentially identical?
