Three months after its launch, AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 outshines other known GPUs such as NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080, 1070 Ti, and GTX 1070 in the latest AAA titles, including Forza 7, Destiny 2 and Wolfenstein II.
“When we started development of Wolfenstein II, the choice of graphics API for PC was a simple one. Doom had already set the stage for what could be done with Vulkan and we wanted to take it to the next level. Using Vulkan when developing has allowed us to utilize the power of AMD’s VEGA graphics chips in ways that were not possible before, giving us fine grained control over the performance and feature set of the GPU without having to sacrifice artistic intent. Combined with the flexibility of AMD’s hardware, Vulkan gives us the artistic freedom to deliver Wolfenstein without compromise. “ said Machine Games, a Swedish video game developer.
The Radeon RX Vega 56 feature 56 of 64 CUs enabled and its clockspeed and GPU is also reduced, running at 1156MHz base and 1471MHz boost, while the HBM2 memory runs at 1.6Gbps (for 410GB/sec of memory bandwidth). It is also paired with Radeon FreeSync enabled monitors, giving gamers smooth, tear-free gaming at 60+ FPS at high resolutions.
