That being the case, I stuck to the same order for each test so that ultimately, the results are less tedious to follow over the course of these three pages.īoth the RX Vega 64 and GTX 1080 just make the cut-off for being able to max out the graphics detail in Battlefield 1. It’s one thing to arrange performance results in a graph, but it’s another when individual tables are used. Note: These results are not ordered by performance, but rather in the order of RX Vega 64, GTX 1080, Vega 56, and GTX 1070. Because there are 36 tables in this article, I’ve spread 3440×1440 testing across the first two pages, and dedicate the final one for 4K testing on the Vega 64 and GTX 1080 exclusively. Of the six games included here, three are DX11, two are DX12, and one is Vulkan. The goal is to show you which card can deliver the best blend of IQ and FPS. That’s to say that I deviate from the usual path from run to run each set of results are to be treated independently. I also want to stress that these benchmark results shouldn’t really be compared to one another, as I didn’t test these configurations in the same manner I conduct the apples-to-apples testing. Yet, even reducing three or four settings could yield the same performance result. Some say Can it run Crysis?, but really, Deus Ex can’t even run maxed out on today’s highest-end systems and deliver a decent framerate. This game proves that simple task to be an exercise in patience. To find a Best Playable result, a handful of graphics settings might need to be changed, to find the best balance between performance and image quality. Take, for example, a game like Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. If you still want ultrawide and the Vega 56, you can get by, but your best framerates would be at a lower resolution (eg: 2560×1080). Vega 56 is poor for 4K, but good for ultrawide. If you don’t want to look at any one of the 36 tables I painstakingly edited, know that Vega 64 is great for ultrawide, and good for 4K.
I didn’t even bother with the other two GPUs, being that they are even smaller. Bear in mind that I’m talking ~45-50 on the Vega 64 and GTX 1080. As mentioned above, 60 FPS is normally the goal with these articles, but 4K is just too brutal a resolution to expect that kind of framerate out of these GPUs.

With this article posted, I’ll be moving onto testing the Vega GPUs for our regular apples-to-apples test suite, which will include 4K, ultrawide, as well as 1440p (and probably 1080p for the Vega 56).īefore jumping into the results, I do have some more preamble, because I want to make sure nothing is confusing. If time were infinite, I would have added 1440p to this testing, but alas, there’s so much more testing to be done. Note that this chart does not take into account 60Hz+ goals. Poor: Expect real headaches from the awful performance. Good: Nothing too impressive it gets the job done (60 FPS will require tweaking). Great: Hit 60 FPS with high quality settings. As future-proofed as it gets.Įxcellent: Surpass 60 FPS at high quality settings with ease. Tying into that, what about ultrawide? Well, thanks to the dramatically reduced workload demands of 3440×1440 versus 4K, the “Good” rating for Vega 64 transforms into “Great”.
You’ll note that not a single GPU in the current-gen lineup gets better than a “Great” at 4K, and that’s just because it’s that hardcore a resolution. I’ve updated the table below to reflect the latest Radeons, to give you a simple way of gauging performance for a certain GPU at a certain resolution. Ultimately, 4K is so punishing that I had to concede and convince myself to be happy with 45-50 as a Best Playable average for this resolution. And by playable, I mean ~45 FPS, which, you might notice, is not 60 FPS. To reduce the bluntness a bit, 4K isn’t awful on these GPUs, but they’re not for you if you’re not a fan of having to tweak a lot to get playable framerates. There’s no such thing as a “future-proofed” 4K graphics card, and if 4K was my goal personally, none of the GPUs in this article would have a chance of making it into my PC. But I feel compelled to note that just because I am testing at 4K, it doesn’t mean I endorse it. There’s nothing I love more than working hard on content that revolves around almost impossible-to-purchase products, so it’s with great pleasure that I introduce my “Best Playable” look at AMD’s latest Radeon cards, the RX Vega 64, and RX Vega 56.Īs has become the norm, I’m taking a look at these higher-end cards at two de facto high-end resolutions: 4K, and 3440×1440 (ultrawide).
