AMD Vega GPU plays DOOM at 4K Ultra at over 60FPS

I'm not sure this time around the 1080ti will match the Titan. Not that Nvidia care at all about any of those who spent over a grand on one but because they will still want to sell Titans for over a grand.

The Fury "non X" here was almost as expensive as a Fury X. So it kind of made the card a hard sell and why you are seeing them in clearout sales now for £250 or so. Nobody was buying them. I remember watching OCUK's stock levels and they remained the same for months. Every one was either buying 980ti or second hand 980s.

I'm happy to see an AMD card that can get up near the 1070, or possibly even the 1080. However, you can already tell it's going to be pants if AMD are using Doom in Vulkan as its showcase.

They showed a whole load of 4k stuff when Fury/X came out but the problem was hardly any one was even using 4k. That is why they should have left off with HBM memory and the price it brings before they can actually run every game at 4k with one card. Maybe then the technology would be worth it. However, them not showing DX11 performance IMO says it all.

And they are now doing it again. Bottom line? if the card is not as fast as a Titan XP then it is still not good enough for 4k. Because only the TXP can claim that crown. Instead we are being told that it's faster than the TXP at something and shown a still shot of Doom running 4k in Vulkan at just over 60 FPS.

Even through all of that I still love AMD as a company but I wish they would lay off the BS. Their smack talk never comes through and they just end up looking stupid with egg on their face again.

I'm not sure the 1080ti will match a Titan XP either. The Titan does seem a little bit too out of reach. But I remember some said the same of the Titan XM. That's why so many were peeved off when the 980ti came out and actually beat the Titan X.

And yeah, I've only seen a dozen Fury's in the wild on forums. No one bought them. Gigabyte silently released their G1 Gaming Fury. I did not see a single one of those anywhere. The ASUS Strix had terrible reviews on Newegg. It was a disaster.

I highly doubt Vega will not be able to wipe a 1070 up. Even a Fury X can be seen to match a 1070. All through these DX12 and Vulkan tests the Fury X is very close to the 1070 or matching it. In BF1, a huge game, a Fury X matches a non-reference 1070. That's impressive. Yes, there aren't many DX12/Vulkan games, but it will grow and Vega isn't out for another few months yet. Even in a couple of DX11 games the Fury X is not that far off a 1070. If AMD can't substantially improve upon Fiji, which is all they need to do, then AMD should just stick to the mainstream market and other sectors. Leave the enthusiast class alone.

Also, I totally agree, AMD's smack talk is embarrassing.

AMD doesnt have smack talk. They just have hilarious jokes.

... and horribly cringe worthy commercials.
