I wouldn't be too worried about that dude. 3DMark hates AMD CPUs and GPUs. Plus that is DX11, which could well be old hat soon.
I wouldn't even worry too much about Timespy scores either. I would be more interested in how it does in BF1 DX12, BFV DX12 and SOTTR in DX12.
Because that, inevitably, is what matters and right now in some DX12 games Vega is touching on 1080tis bottom and easily trumping the 1080. And by law of everything, Radeon VII must be faster.
I reckon solid 1080ti as my bet

In Forza Horizon 4 Vega 64 is 2 FPS behind a 1080 Ti at 1440P Ultra settings, Pretty impressive considering the price difference IMO ^_^

Indeed. Like I say, pure DX12 performance that is where it should be. I don't count RE2, as I have a distinct feeling it was well underway before DX12 became a thing and they added it in later (like Rise OTTR, that was worse in DX12 too).
But yeah, crucially Nvidia hardware did not have the kitchen sink needed for DX12 but it didn't really matter until a couple of months ago when we started seeing real, ground up coded DX12 games.

To be honest, I've lost all care for synthetic benchmarks; too many of them seem to favour one brand over another (Sysmark for example). Give me real world numbers any day.

It generally favours Nvidia though

It does if it wants to win mindshare, Benchmarks are a huge tipping point for people looking to buy.
Then those people are idiots, and should be ignored entirely. If that is the behavior of the GPU customer base, no wonder the GPU market is so messed up, LOL.

AMD needs to win mindshare to grow its GPU market share, It's all fine that a Vega 64 is only 2FPS behind a 1080 Ti in Forza Horizon 4 at 1440P but that's 1 game, AMD need a series of wins especially in the big benchmarks to shift market share more to their favour even if it's only a few %, In the end it will only benefit us as customers.
So basically you're saying the problem is: people are idiots. Agreed. Mindshare means nothing if the minds are sub-par.

I understand. ^_^ If only THAT particular problem could be solved, outside of the extermination of about 75% of the entire species.
