NVIDIA should worry: The AMD Radeon VII is faster than the GeForce RTX 2080 according to leaked 3DMark results

[Redaktion]

Although it cannot match the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 in Final Fantasy 15 — a title that features some technologies exclusive to the RTX series — the AMD Radeon VII appears to be a much better choice for 4K gaming, scoring higher than its competitor in the Fire Strike Ultra benchmark. The Radeon VII will hit the market on February 7.

It's not a reason enough to get worried since they both cost the same and nvidia has rt core and tensor core that AMD doesn't have. Still overall,rtx 2080 is a better choice tbh.

didn't AMD say they were only making 5k of these and they are selling them at a loss? sounds like a great strategy to unseat nvidia

What if AMD ends up making more than 5,000 and the driver optimizations push them 15-20% faster?

Driver optimization doesn't push 15-20%. It increases highest 5-7%. And AMD's driver support is broken already.

Whats broken? Last driver update my 580 found an uplift in games that werent listed even. You dont use one so maybe you dont know what youre talking about?

Judging by the specs a 64 CU version could be giving the 2080ti a run for it's money in 4K. Not a smart commercial move, no money in it, AMD would be chucking too many cards away on an "early" 7nm node which is obviously why they went for a 60CU version of 7nm Vega whilst still just about breaking even just to hit the 2080ti. What's exciting is if this is a success we may yet get to see that a 64CU 7nm Radeon 7. Good to see Nvidia have some competition and Nvidia must be worried as their business model isn't panning out whilst AMDs is.

Add factory overclocking to driver optimizations and you get AT LEAST 15 percent no matter what.
