So here is the benchmark provided by AMD for RX Vega. Remember that since this is a benchmark provided by AMD themselves, is this more or less the best case scenario at least for BF1:



So how does that compare to the current GPUs that are on the market? Meh...

Remember that Pascal with the 1080 came out last year in May and Vega hardly caught up although granted Vega might see some more improvements through drivers but 20fps difference at 1080p is kinda :T

Here are the benchmarks for 1440p and 4k which shows similar results vs the 1080:

And the 1080 does cost $500 too. The other thing is that Nvidia did announce Volta this year, just not the gaming versions yet but either ways, Amd is behind and they really need to do something to their GPUs to make them have a come back. Cause if Volta gaming releases next year and you can get 1080Ti level performance for $350-$400... Amd would be a generationsh behind Nvidia.

There's a 30 fps difference between the Fury X on AMD's benchmark and the Fury X on Guru3D's benchmark though. That suggests that AMD's benchmark is actually conservative, not best case scenario, which would mean that the Vega 64 is likely going to beat the 1080 in Battlefield 1, especially after some possible upcoming driver optimizations. You're right though that Volta is going to destroy Vega next year, and AMD probably won't have an aswer until 2019 unless Navi in 2018 is a full range line of GPU's instead of only a half range like Polaris was.

Neh, maybe. It's odd for AMD to release a "conservative" benchmark at a time where they really need to show people that Vega was worth the wait. What I am wondering is whether or not it is actually conservative or did AMD gimp Fury X to make Vega look better. Ik that sounds pretty conspiracy but it's really odd if they went for conservative.
