Vega 64 beating a 1080 Ti in Forza 7 at maximum settings + 8xMSAA due to Vega specific hardware features not present in current Nvidia hardware at both 1080P and 1440P with 4K being a very close call between the 1080 Ti and Vega 64.

The AMD rep AMDMatt posted it on the OCUK forums, Link to the actual benchmark - https://www.computerbase.de/2017-09...afikkartenbenchmarks_von_full_hd_bis_ultra_hd

Apparently this can be implemented in every game, It's just up to the dev to put in the work.

Either Nvidia are going to complain to the dev studios to patch in a plethora of Gameworks or Nvidia are going to release Volta a lot earlier because a competitor beats them in 1 game ^_^

I'm sure Nvidia won't be too worried yet. This is what will happen eventually though as we move into the future. This is why AMD have invested so much time into the consoles.

The problem is that one game is not enough, and by the time it's all games we will have moved on. AMD could have been beating Nvidia like this pants down since the 7970. That is what GCN is all about. Sadly though like you say, unless it is fully utilised it's useless. And by the time it's useful Nvidia will have their massively cored cards out.
 
I suspected some games (Far Cry 5 and the new Wolfenstein might also see wins for Vega), but not by that much. Of course, by the time I'll get round to those games, Navi and Volta will be out.

This tweaks my tinfoil hat! So that particular CPU is on sale everywhere at the moment, and now we see a story leading us to believe if you grab one, you might get lucky and get an 1800x instead. Something foul is afoot! Sounds like a bait story to me.

Funny I just read the 1600x reduced price today and then read this and had the same tinfoil hat moment
 
The 1600X has been €220-240 for ages now—I bought mine for €235 from a German retailer. That's about £195-205 depending on currency exchange so it could be just a coincidence. Also AMD are reportedly moving manufacturing to 12nm. Maybe they're trying to move remaining 14nm stock and happen to sell more 1600/1600X's.
 
Yeah, I'm with Warchild, they are not attractive looking RAM modules, not to me. They look like cheap Star Wars kids toys from an Argos catalogue.

Well, I guess that's an improvement. Since Syndicate was out cards have become more powerful. It's been two years since Syndicate and Pascal and Vega are now out.

The most important thing is it's a good game that doesn't have loads of bugs. Unity and Syndicate are gorgeous to look at so I don't mind that they were hard to run.
