1150mhz increases performance above 15%, 1120mhz where my card sits at is a whopping 10-15% over a stock Fury.

GTX 1080 AIB cards also gain....

You're not even close. 5.1% real world gains for Fury X at 1150mhz. That is 1/3 of 15%. You're not even close.

Cherry pick better next time, that's the gain in 1 game.

AnandTech observed 7-10% and remember this is before matured drivers unlike today.

Using our highest clocking card as a reference point, the Sapphire card, the actual performance gains are in the 7-10% range, with an average right up the middle at 8% over a reference clocked R9 Fury. This is actually a bit better than the R9 Fury X and its 5% performance gains, however it’s still not going to provide a huge difference in performance. We’d need to be able to overclock to better than 1100MHz to see any major overclocking gains on the R9 Fury cards.

Remember mine does 1120mhz? i can go to 1160mhz.

30% performance is not sidegrade for me.
Lets say GTX1070 have 50fps and vega is 30% faster.Based on firestrike it is faster than aftermarket GTX1080 and the gap between GTX1070 and 1080 is 25-30% in new games.
50+30%=65fps
GTX970 to 1070 it was like how much 50%?And everyone called it biggest jump in years(wrong btw)
50+50%=75fps

Not to mention vega is new.I am 100% sure there will be big performance jumps with new drivers over time and vega will end up far more faster than GTX1070.Also fp16 can have some impact in future.HBCC will 100% have impact.

Sidegrading to Vega would allow you to potentially reap the benefits of the AMD "Fine Wine" sure.

But, you won't see that benefit of AMD pulling significantly ahead in 1 full year. In contrast, that $400 could be spent on a GTX 2070. That would actually significanly beat Vega as it would be the performance of a GTX 1080ti.

Rather than bet on AMD FineWine, you bet on the quickly up coming Volta GPU.

How much overhead does Vega's memory have? From the looks of it it's fairly tapped out straight from the factory and that's going to be the bottleneck this go around. I wouldn't expect much more out of AIB cards other than cooler/quite operation which will probably be decent in actual long duration game play due to the reference card's cooling but still isn't going to gain any on just pure benchmark scores. NVIDIA's AIB cards have quite the OC potential in them and the delta between NVIDIA AIB and AMD AIB is going to be greater than NVIDIA REF vs AMD REF.

How am I strawmanning you? Your basing your Vega 64 OC predictions off your Fury Vanilla OC. Vega FE shows that full fat Vega is already at the brick wall. Reviews incoming in ~14 hours. Lets see what techpowerup, anandtech, hardocp, hardwarecanucks, techspot, and other reputable sites have to say.

So why are you trying to shut him up? Just ignore and you can crow about your clairvoyance skills tomorrow.

They love teasing. Yes, that is the source image. No, you can't zoom in more than what is shown.

Avg results from 25games:
1 GTX1080TI
2 vega64??
3 GTX1080
4 Vega56
5 GTX1070

Edit:they dont test vega 64 only 56 so it is 1080TI,1080,vega56,1070

My zoom and enhance interpretation of Hardware Unboxed game average ranking:
  1. GeForce GTX 1080 Ti
  2. GeForce GTX 1080
  3. Radeon RX Vega 56?
  4. GeForce GTX 1070
  5. Radeon Fury X (proper name not used)
  6. Radeon RX 480 or 580
  7. GeForce GTX 1060

Most people seem to max out around 550mhz, some lower some higher, but this is 500mhz HBM across a huge 4096 bit bus, so even +10mhz adds a lot of GB/s on top of it.

https://videocardz.com/71953/are-these-radeon-rx-vega-56-benchmarks
HardwareUnboxed published a tweet showing their charts for upcoming Radeon RX Vega 56 review. They are preparing 75 graphs, they were all pictured in a very low quality, but I decided to take a closer look (because why not?) to find some clues.

We know they are working on RX 56 review, not 64, thanks to their earlier tweet.

By comparing popular graphics cards names to pixelated strings on the charts we find some interesting details. I’m only not sure about one card, could be anything from R9 390X to Fury X. The rest seems to be rather easy to guess. So if I’m right, the Radeon RX Vega 56 will be comparable to GTX 1070 at 1080p resolution, while taking the lead at 1440p and 4K. When it comes to actual numbers.. well I think even my NCIS skills are not good enough for this task.

I know this isn’t the best leak around, but I actually enjoy counting pixels for a change ;)

As others have said, makes sense that Vega 56 would do better vs the GTX 1070 than Vega 64 vs the GTX 1080.
It's really depressing talking about GTX 1070/1080 performance 1 year later, with the same price tags and more power consumption. We regressed....

What if the 1070 and the Vega 56 are actually two 1070's one is 1070 OC and the unlisted one is Vega 56..... hmmm

To be clear, my belief is that those results are a power saving mode of Vega.
Given the talk about Radeon Chill or whatever it only stands to reason that those would be those results.
There isn't a reason to have GTX 1070/OC results in a VEga 56 review, especially if you don't have Vega OC/Stock results....

Yes you're right. Maybe the unlisted card is a Fury X?

If those blown up charts are correct, Vega 56 is basically neck and neck with a GTX 1070. I thought for sure it'd be a small but clear lead. These charts show otherwise though. This is WORSE than I thought.
