Radeon RX Vega 64 And RX Vega 56 Review: AMD Back In High-End Graphics
AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 And 56 3DMark Time Spy And Fire Strike Benchmarks
3DMark Time Spy is a relatively new DirectX synthetic benchmark test from Futuremark. It features a DirectX 12 engine, built from the ground up, to support bleeding-edge features like asynchronous compute, explicit multi-adapter, and multi-threading. Time Spy is designed to test the DirectX 12 performance of the latest graphics cards using a variety of techniques and varied visual sequences. This benchmark was developed with input from AMD, Intel, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and the other members of the Futuremark Benchmark Development Program, to showcase the performance and visuals potential of close-to-the-metal, low-overhead APIs like DirectX 12.

3DMark Time Spy
The Radeon RX Vega 64 and Radeon RX Vega 56 show AMD's edge over NVIDIA when it comes to DirectX 12 performance. Here, Radeon RX Vega 64 is 3 to 10 percent faster than a GeForce GTX 1080 and Radeon RX Vega 56 is 10 - 15 percent faster than a GTX 1070.

Fire Strike Ultra paints a similar picture with its DX11 workload, and actually shows AMD's Radeon RX Vega cards ahead consistently ahead by 10 percent or more. It's also interesting to note how much faster they appear versus the previous generation Fiji-based Radeon R9 Fury X, which brings up the rear at the bottom of the heap.
