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 ESTF1 2016
The spiritual successor to the 2016 suite's DiRT Rally, F1 2016 is Codemasters' latest installment of the F1 franchise. It features Codemasters' traditional built-in benchmarking tools and scripts, something that is surprisingly absent in the latest iteration of DiRT. Graphically demanding in its own right, F1 2016 adds a useful racing-type graphics workload to our suite.
Ultra settings were used without alterations.

More like "since nvidia castrates FP64 performance like razy" and "AT sure doesn't want to make nvidia look bad"...Manch - Tuesday, August 15, 2017 - link
and here we go with the shill comments....ZeDestructor - Tuesday, August 15, 2017 - link
AMD would look just as bad given they cut down FP64 just as much on modern cards.zoxo - Monday, August 14, 2017 - link
fp32 works well for MD tasks, there is not much need for double precision atm.mapesdhs - Monday, August 14, 2017 - link
If you need FP64, just stuff in some cheap, used GTX 580s. Or hunt for an original Titan or two. Actually, a Quadro 6000 is also a pretty decent buy for FP64.abrowne1993 - Monday, August 14, 2017 - link
I imagine a lot of people are very happy to have something when the embargo lifts even if it's not complete yet.vanilla_gorilla - Monday, August 14, 2017 - link
Thank you for not making us wait for the whole thing, that's awesome.Xajel - Monday, August 14, 2017 - link
Take your time with it...On a Side note, I would love to see a revisit on the the current status of GPU's and iGPU's (&CPU's & APU) on the Media Centric usage scenario (like the old HTPC GPU roundup), but with increased modern media usage scenarios like for example streaming, 4K, x265, HEVC, Plex, transcoding, encoding, etc...

6th para - "seceded" should be "ceded" - AMD basically yielded the high-market to Nvidia, not "withdraw" to Nvidia. :)Dr.Neale - Monday, August 14, 2017 - link
Hear, hear!Indeed, this needed to be noted.
Thank you for doing so!
