If The Leaked Results Are True, Then This Card Could Be A Contender
Radeon VII Leaked Results have shown up online. AMD CEO Lisa SU announced the Radeon VII at CES earlier in the month. The card is basically another Vega refresh. It has 3,840 Stream Processors, 16GB HBM2 Memory, 1TB Memory Bandwidth on a 7nm Technology Process. During the showcase at the Electronic Show there were no real benchmarks on the card, only that it could hold its own against an Nvidia RTX 2080, but without the Ray Tracing technology. It isn’t due to release until February 7 for purchase. Now there seem to be some real numbers with the graphics card benchmark. You still have to be skeptical of these results since it isn’t from an official source though. @TUM_APISAK on Twitter just released some leaked statistics from 3DMark. The scores look like this.
- GeForce RTX 2080 Ti: 7,952
- Titan Xp: 7,274
- Leaked Radeon VII: 6,800 (Graphics)
- GeForce GTX 1080 Ti: 6,661 (Graphics)
- GeForce RTX 2080: 6,279 (Graphics)
- Radeon RX Vega 64: 5,429 (Graphics)
- GeForce GTX 1080: 5,009 (Graphics)
- GeForce RTX 1070: 4,202 (Graphics)
The Radeon VII Leaked Results do show that this card is as powerful as Lisa Su claimed in her CES announcement. This card can even stand up to the RTX 2080, albeit without the Ray Tracing Technology. The next generation Navi graphics cards still have some time before they’re released. There’s no way to back up the Radeon VII Leaked Results as of this writing though. This means that you may have to throw some caution to the wind when reading them. Until there is conclusive evidence that this is indeed true we’ll just have to wait and see.
February 7 Will Give Us Some Concrete Results
With a February 7 release date, this graphics card could very well be the less expensive alternative people are looking for when they just want the speed to play their favorite games and don’t feel like waiting for Navi graphics cards to give them the added features. We’ll also have to wait until February 7 to see the full scale of real results once the graphics card is released.
