We weren’t huge fans of the Radeon Vega series, especially Vega 64.
It wasn’t a terrible product, but in our opinion it was also far from a good one.
In a nutshell,Vega 64arrived a year late to compete with the well established GeForce GTX 1080.
It tried to do so at the same price, while generally offering less performance.
It also chugged power more than anoverclocked GTX 1080 Ti.
The AMD reference design was also pretty bad.
It was hot, loud, and often throttled.
There were very few partner models to speak of, and almost none of them were any good.
The 1440p results are a bit more interesting.
This is a good result for the old Radeon.
Flipping the results the other way is Warhammer III, using the medium quality preset.
The game played noticeably better with the Radeon, particularly at 1440p.
Resident Evil Village is yet another game where Vega was dominant.
The margin remained much the same at 1440p as Vega was 18% faster.
The last game we’re going to look at is Watch Dogs Legion.
We say this because there’s nothing that could be done about the massive power usage.
Hopefully we’ll have some answers for you before year’s end.
