AMD Radeon RX Vega Benchmark Review: Vega 64 and Vega 56 Tested

Grand Theft Auto V

Grand Theft Auto V, currently one of the hottest PC games, was finally released for the PC on April 14, 2015. Developed by Rockstar, it is set in 2013 and the city of Los Santos. It utilizes the Rockstar Advanced Game Engine (RAGE) which Rockstar has been using since 2006, with multiple updates for technology improvements.

In Grand Theft Auto V we set the game to run with no MSAA with 16x AF and high image quality settings as we didn’t want the GPU to bottleneck the system too bad, but wanted a setup that your average gamer would actually play on. We used the games built-in benchmark utility to have at least one game we used that could be compared to your setup at home. We averaged all the five of the default benchmark runs and omitted both the minimum and maximum values as those results are garbage due to major inconsistencies.

Benchmark Results: The AMD Radeon RX VEGA 56 and VEGA 64 cards ran GTAV with the standard game settings at over 60 FPS on average across all three resolutions that we tested. It wasn’t beating the GeForce GTX 1080 or GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, but it played the game smoothly.
