I don't know about that, maybe Ryan just has no clue and that's why he rigged the test to make the singular legacy card look better?
Can you imagine if they benched the Vega64 in a game supporting ASync compute and disabled it for their benches? This is obviously worse as this isn't just about how instructions are scheduled, but has a major impact on image quality while being faster, but you should give him the benefit of the doubt, ignorance or maybe even promotional considerations from other parties to the site is what caused what appears to be fanboy shilling.
Ben, it's not the answer you're going to like, but it's for apples-to-apples comparisons. I need to be able to compare cards from all vendors (including Intel, if necessary), all running the same features. This is the same benchmark suite you'll see again in 4 days, as all of this is standardized for future use.
Then why bother reviewing these products? You are running a much lower quality setting that runs markedly slower to appease the vendor that refuses to support the feature in their drivers while simultaneously leaving out the singular performance characteristic that we couldn't figure out by looking at the specs.
If AMD supported an OpenCL mode in say LuxMark that was both faster and higher accuracy but it wasn't supported by nVidia would you honestly not run it?
Also, you didn't even mention it. We ran lower quality settings that were slower on these card because AMD refuses to add driver support would have at least explained why you did it.
Furthermore, the amount of die space dedicated to this feature inr these parts to not see a singular benchmark? Why bother reviewing them at all?
More cards will be going into Bench ahead of the RX 5700 launch. This review was very compressed for time due to everything else going on and the need to setup (and validate) a new GPU benchmark suite.

I'm glad Ryan does these reviews. I expect everyone who reads them does. Heck, you're reading it...catavalon21 - Sunday, July 21, 2019 - link
" I need to be able to compare cards from all vendors (including Intel, if necessary), all running the same features."What? The test includes a CUDA-only benchmark (which is fine), but how is that in any way aligned with your previous comment?

Can we please have more cards in the benchmarks? Would like to know how the 2070S compares to 1080Ti, for example.Ryan Smith - Tuesday, July 2, 2019 - link
