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 ESTTotal War: Warhammer
The last game in our lineup is Total War: Warhammer, a DX11 game that received official DX12 support a couple months after launch. While DX12 is still marked as beta, Warhammer was to some extent developed with DX12 in mind, with preview builds showcasing DX12 performance.
The built-in benchmark was used with Ultra settings without alterations.
While the DX12 render path was used for AMD cards, there appear to be some oddities with 1080p performance. As mentioned earlier, we'd like to use the best performing API for a given card; in this case, while there was improved performance at higher resolutions, we noticed a potential regression in 1080p performance. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, we weren't able to investigate further; like Dawn of War III, it's possible Warhammer at 1080p was CPU-bound as well..

That is at 200 Watts, not $35. Anandtech, reporting on the world of tomorrow, without an edit button.mapesdhs - Monday, August 14, 2017 - link
If/when AT finally does revamp the forums to enable editing, it's going to be a bigger forum headline splash than Threadripper. :D I'd post with typos just so I could delight at being able to edit it ten seconds later. 8)AndrewJacksonZA - Tuesday, August 15, 2017 - link
@Kratos86: You made me chuckle. :-)Lolimaster - Monday, August 14, 2017 - link
Proof of stake is almost here, Ethereum is basically done unless you get the gpu's for free, else you don't have much more than 4 months for ROI.Notmyusualid - Monday, August 14, 2017 - link
Thats right. Ethereum was the only crypto-coin out there.Fool.

As a heads up, this article is very much not done, as Nate and I had to rush to cover everything in 3 days. The performance data is up there, along with bits and pieces on the architecture.I have probably another 5000 words on the architecture left to draft and revise, and I hope to get that added in the next couple of days.
In the meantime I apologize for the state of things, and we're continuing to work on the article to wrap things up.

Take your time ... we will wait :)rtho782 - Monday, August 14, 2017 - link
Ha, understandable, and I'd much rather have this than nothing :) Your unfinished reviews are generally more indepth than most places complete reviews.Hows the GTX960 review coming tho? :P

No longer doing folding at double precision?Ryan Smith - Monday, August 14, 2017 - link
Since no one has shipped a consumer GPU with FP64 performance better than 1/16 in a few years now, there's not much of a need for a FP64 benchmark.
