The AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 & RX Vega 56 Review: Vega Burning Bright
by Ryan Smith & Nate Oh on August 14, 2017 9:00 AM ESTBattlefield 1
Battlefield 1 leads off our new 2017 benchmark suite with a bang as DICE brings gamers the long-awaited AAA World War 1 shooter. As mentioned earlier, we used DX11 for all cards, knowing that DX12 still has performance issues in this title. The Ultra preset is used with no alterations. As these benchmarks are from single player mode, our rule of thumb with multiplayer performance still applies: multiplayer framerates generally dip to half our single player framerates.

I think that is actually why they went with that headline.As vladx's comment, AnandTech is not a joke. They put a lot of hard work into what they do and they have been doing it for decades. Anand's early work helped me build my first PC and they have continued to do a good job after his departure to Apple.
I for one am very appreciative of all Anandtech's efforts :-)

"I think that is actually why they went with that headline."Nice spin, only a fool would buy into that sort of bullshit reasoning.

That was actually the very first thing that came to mind when I saw the article "burning... I see what you did there".Oxford Guy - Monday, August 14, 2017 - link

I almost didn't go with that headline specifically because I was afraid too many people wouldn't get it.It's a shining moment for AMD in terms of architectural advancement. It's also a rather hot card in terms of heat dissipated.

Like I said it's a really nice spin, if anything Polaris was the architecture that was shining brightly not Vega which is a clear regression compared to Fiji. So I'm sorry Mr. Smith, but I refuse to take you and any AT writer for that big of a fools and it's clear from other reviews as well that everyone is trying their best to polish the turd called VEGA.Beany2013 - Tuesday, August 15, 2017 - link
Narrator:In reality, VladX was incredibly hurt that he didn't get the joke, as so many others managed to, and had made himself look like a fool.

A joke at AMD's expense is nothing to laugh about, so color me extra doubtful.FourEyedGeek - Tuesday, August 22, 2017 - link
Why be so immature?
