A lot of users claimed that the AMD Radeon RX Vega would be significantly faster than the AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition as the latter was not a graphics card meant to run games. From the looks of it, AMD's latest gaming GPU performs almost similarly to its workstation card. In other words, the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 is almost similar to the AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition when it comes to games performance.

Duderandom84 has tested the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 and the AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Duderandom84 ran the game in 4K with all settings maxed out (apart from the Hairworks effects), and the RX Vega 64 was faster by only 1-3fps. Or if you like percentages, the RX Vega 64 was 2-3% faster than the Vega Frontier Edition.

Now before posting it, do note that PCPer's results appear to be a bit misleading. According to reports, PCPer did not use the latest drivers for the Frontier Edition, and did not re-benched the game.

The GPU was never what distinguished the RX from the FE.

Vega is Vega, no matter if it's in an RX, FX, MI-25, or WX part.

Same can be said for pretty much all AMD GPUs ever, and most NVIDIA ones...only the last few generations of top-end professional NVIDIA parts have different GPUs than their consumer variants.

But the RX Vega still needs its new gaming drivers. It's still running on professional drivers.

Should have made a lot more bets with fanboys. Would have been able to buy an RX Vega with all the money I'd have won

And the vega fe with the current prices looks to be a better deal...

...and with these inflated prices, Vega FE is starting to look like a decent value.

For reals.

Big surprise... the cards are all the same only with different RAM amount, minor speed differences and 56 is a bit cutdown. It was not users that claimed RX Vega will be much faster and come with some extra stuff, it was AMD namely Raja that claimed RX Vega will be faster and that customers should wait for RX instead of buying FE.

If you go to Raja's Twitter page, just start at the top and scroll down, all he talks about is Threadripper. There's basically nothing about Vega. You know, the new card just launched? And this is the head of RTG. Wow.

Who could have guessed that cards with identical GPUs perform almost the same.

Who Expected VEGA to have a different silicon ?
 
#21 ·
I don't think anyone expected different silicon, but I expected little more performance bump via driver than this tbh.

You know, I'm pretty sure what this article is saying is not what myself and others were saying about Vega FE. Of course FE is the same silicon; with the same drivers it will perform the same, but we were all scoffing at the idea of drivers improving performance substantially. We turned out to have been somewhat wrong. RX Vega did somewhat exceed my expectations (which were rock bottom).

What about HBCC on and off? Does it improve minimums at least?
