The first to be able to present game performance with the graphics card is a user in the comments field for Wccftech, which is one of the first to have won a Radeon Vega Frontier Edition. The user has tested graphics cards in 3DMark Fire Strike, where the performance is well below an Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 Ti.

* Average of the four best runs with the GPU clock frequency 1,600 MHz.

In both regular Fire Strike (1080p) and Extreme mode (1440p) and Ultra (2160p), the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition beats evenly with MSI’s factory overclocked Geforce GTX 1080 Gaming X. The full-scale graphics circuit housed in the card is thus far behind GTX 1080 Ti, as it has always been speculated, is supposed to be its main competitor.

Noteworthy is that the user #Define ran Radeon Vega Frontier Edition in a system with a power supply of 550 W, while the graphics card is specified to 300 W. This should not be a problem as all tests should have run without problems, but that lack of power affected the results can not be ruled out .

Another possibility of the unexpectedly low performance is that AMD is sticking to its Vega drivers with special game optimizations. It is no big deal that more users will get hold of the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition in the future and several media outlets will also have ordered graphics cards for evaluation.

Anyone looking forward to the Radeon RX Vega for gaming has a month’s wait ahead, as AMD launches the series at the Siggraph 2017 graphics conference, which kicks off on July 30.
