3DMark Fire Strike is a showcase DirectX 11 benchmark designed for today’s high-performance gaming PCs. It is our [FutureMark’s] most ambitious and technical benchmark ever, featuring real-time graphics rendered with detail and complexity far beyond what is found in other benchmarks and games today.
It's a promising start for the Radeon VII. It doesn't quite beat out the likes of the RTX 2080 or GTX 1080 Ti in Fire Strike or Time Spy, but it does nudge ahead of the RTX 2080 in Fire Strike Ultra – a 4K benchmark.
