Currently AMD did not disclose detailed information concerning performance-level graphics card family Radeon RX Vega, and was not allowed to do that independent observers.

In particular, it has been given the following data: in a certain set of games in the resolution of 3440×1440, Radeon RX Vega 64 outputs the frame rate from 53 to 76 fps. GeForce GTX 1080 in the same conditions demonstrates to 78 fps, but loses in the minimum performance, which is 45 fps. This is explained by the fact that the Radeon RX Vega 64, unlike the competitor, a more efficient memory controller and high-speed HBM2-memory. AMD also stressed that in the process of testing in more than 100 games Radeon RX 64 Vega has confirmed its ability to give the average performance over 60 frames per second in 4K resolution. As for performance, cheaper Radeon RX Vega 56, it appears to be similar to the speed of the GeForce GTX 1070.

During the presentation of the Radeon RX Vega journalists asked sarcastically, as AMD refers to the fact that after 14 months after the release of the GeForce GTX 1080 she managed only to catch up with this GPU, which, moreover, is not even the flagship accelerator. It was answered, that, say, AMD now have zero share in the upper market segment, and now the company will have something to offer 95% of enthusiastic gamers.

AMD also hopes that her card will be cheaper than competitor offerings in the retail market. Prices for the GeForce GTX 1080 and GeForce GTX 1070 are above the recommended values for the deficit and the cryptocurrency boom, and AMD is committed to achieve the realization of their cards in the prices that were mentioned during the presentation.
