Grand Theft Auto V is an action-adventure game played from either a first-person or third-person view. Players complete missions—linear scenarios with set objectives—to progress through the story. Outside of missions, players may freely roam the open world.
Composed of the San Andreas open countryside area and the fictional city of Los Santos, the world is much larger in area than earlier entries in the series. It may be fully explored after the game’s beginning without restriction, although story progress unlocks more gameplay content.
We use the Ultra quality settings (or the highest alternative – generally Very High or High – when Ultra is unavailable). MSAA is set to 2x for 1080p and 1440p and is disabled for 4K. The Advanced Graphics options are all set to their maximum levels.
GTA V has typically been less favourable to AMD hardware than the other four games on test today, and that trend is on display here. The Nitro+ Vega 64 is actually slower than Nvidia's GTX 1070 at 1080p and 1440p resolutions, while it only nudges ahead at 4K.
Seems like a no brainer to skip the early vegas cards and stick to a 1080GTX if you want performance for the money. The 1080TI absolutely runs the vegas architecture in its current form into the ground, but at the extra cost, the 1080GTX looks like the best thing going.
…better than GTX1080?
TL;DR Nope!
Not sure why latest driver’s weren’t utilised? I’m pretty sure UK has internet! 😉
i can’t see the ” better performance ” of gtx 1080.-
It really depends on the game and card settings
A 1070 can beat a Vega 56 sometimes
Undervolt, oc and raise its power limit and within like 5 minutes it trades blows with the 1080 and Vega 64
Throw that same card into gta and it gets floored
The Vega cards are a really weird series overall
Also this is crimson not adrenalin
Still considering getting a VEGA, looks to me the better future proof card. But I’m thinking the PowerColor Red Devil instead of the Sapphire one, looks better and that cooler also seems to cool things down more.. waiting for the reviews.
I would say the same thing amd likes prolonging cards, eg the hd 7000 series still getting updates
I would say let them refine vega first before diving in though
Even with the latest Adrenalin drivers this card’s performance is inconcistent, where sometimes its even slower than the reference card. It seems to be the same kind of issues that plagued Powercolor Red Devil at the beginning, and they fixed it with the driver later on.
ahahhahahahahahah, good one!
Unless they review it before they came out!
Sadly miners will pick all of them!
Faster than a 1080 on every other site.
I would stay away from powercolor. I kid you not comparing the powercolor to a sapphire is like comparing a kit car of a lambo to a real lambo.
the weird thing is vega looks better than nvidia in gta5.(its like the amd driver has its own sort of msaa happening with out the game being told to do so.) also it is a smoother game to play on vega. nvidia cards have weird rubber banding that happens when driving fast in some area’s.
