The Greatest GPUs (of 2017) | Vega 64 vs. GTX 1080 Ti

[@IcebergTech]

ERRATA: 22:53 I messed up the charts. The red bars are actually the 1080 Ti, the blues are the Vega 64. *sigh* I thought I was having a good day today, too.

appropriate year. into the trash your vid goes then

[@pretizco3679]

[@AlfaPro1337]

why is a normal series of card compete a Titan killer? RX Flop series/Flop VII competes against the Titan V/RTX.

[@emiliovalencia1618]

The value in the 1080ti comes from being in sync with game development which is, as you know, made for consoles and then ported to PC. The 1080 despite its higher price and lower price/performance value relative to the time of launch- is still an absolutely amazing value. The card still runs modern games at 1440p. So due to its longevity: it’s a better value than the Vega.

[@emiliovalencia1618]

… and runs them well. You may not get ray tracing but you can still get very acceptable FPS even at mid/high settings at 1440p.

Oh yes... Being still an AMD fanboi at the time, I did indeed 'wait for vega'... and when it arrived I promptly bought a second hand 1080! I'm still using a 1080ti now, as most of my games are CPU hogs, but I accept that the card is showing its age and I do need to retire it next year. It was money well spent though!

[@dy7296]

Fair point. Might explain why it has HBM. Although I'm not sure about the R9 Fury having HBM too. And yes, HBM does proven to serve little to no advantages in gaming and only offsets away the budget from the gpu core itself. Which is why they switched by to gddr6 from then.

Wasnt the vega 64 supposed to compete with the 1080? The 56 against the 1070? The 56 was actually a good buy for a short while before the mining community found out the performance of them for mining. It caused team green to launch the 1070ti since they couldnt have the vega beating the 1070. I had a vega 56 bios flashed to vega 64 for a short while. Currently running a Vega 64 with a 3900x. I miss being able to do all the fun things with GPU's back then that we sadly cant anymore

Just found your comment. I commented the same thing. Would've preferred the 64 vs 1080 because I distinctly remember these two gpu's being competitors while the 1080 ti was in a league of its own.

[@bigsnyder01]

This is correct, The Vega 64 targeted the 1080 market, Vega 56 matched up with 1070.

[@ZackSNetwork]

Yes and Vega 64 was never known for being one of the greatest GPU’s either. Most people recommend Vega 56 undervolted.

[@bigsnyder01]

@@ZackSNetwork true that they do, but it was usually because Vega 56 was much cheaper for 85-90% of the performance at stock. Vega 64 also benefits from undervolting granted 56 usually demonstrates a larger percentage gain if you could feed it enough power.

[@anasevi9456]

not originally, but yeah Vega 64 was supposed to be a 1080 competitor and 56 1070. What is never ever acknowledged in any of these retrospective reviews is the near omnipresent Nvidia tax back then in most markets. Even before the 2nd crpyto boom truly kicked in, trash tier AiB 1080s were over $200 more than a Vega 64 launched for in my country, and 1080 ti were twice the price. So not so GOAT when looking back at all the retail scalping going on for Nvidia cards when Vega launched. Then the 2nd mining boom and EVERYTHING s*cked a big one value wise.

[@erisium6988]

and what was the competitor back then? (he even asked community if he should test vega or 5700xt community picked vega) Both were flagships then released. U wont compere 4090 vs 7900xtx because they dont have the same price? AMD fanboys never will get old. AMD since pascal never did gpu that had price and performance of nvidia flagship, yet u have to pick something to compere so u choose the amd flagship. And no 6900xt isnt 3090 competitor nor vram, nor bandwitdh, nor technology, nor performance, nor price its was bad its cool now because its dirt cheap.

@@erisium6988 You don't always have to compare the top products of two companies. You generally compare the same price range. Thats how it was done in the 90s, 2000s and these days. Calling someone fanboy just because (s)he doesnt do as you would like him to do, makes you the angry twat, not them. In terms of performance per $ RDNA1 was quite competitive and RDNA2 definately was. Without ray tracing, the 6900XT is pretty comparable to a 3090 in terms of rasterisation performance. Sure, NV has the better upsampling with DLSS and I'm glad I dont have to use FSR. But the raw performance IS comparable at a lower price. So that makes you the raging Nvidia fanboy...

That's way better than it was early august 2017 in Australia when Vega launched. Vega's could be bought from PLE Australia for $670aud, other retailers had them for $700. Meanwhile GTX 1080 plains were $900-1000aud and 1080ti's were $1,400-1,500aud and make all these videos worshipping value ring hollow to me. Nvidia tax was just terrible.

The other day I was thinking about how things are going with progress and how many people this "progress" will be able to apply to games and video accelerators. And then I came across this video, I was finally inspired to conduct a retrospective (2016-2022) using the example of the GTX 1080 vs. RTX 4080. Keep in mind that I am another armchair analyst with open source tools, if you have a comment, feel free to leave them. I take tests from those years so as not to put the system as a whole in a more advantageous position with some 7800X3d. First: $599 MSRP, 2K resolution, ultra, AC Origin 2017 - 89 average FPS. Second: $1200 MSRP, the same resolution without any upscaling (the first one does not have one), the same ultra, AC Valhalla 2020 - 120 average FPS. The fee is almost twice if we take into account the inflation, taken from my ceiling. Raw performance is 34.83%... For a more fair comparison, I took two games of the same series in the year of the GPU release: GTX 1080, 2016, Infinite Warfare. 2022 - RTX 4080, MW2. The rendering pipeline has not changed much, more load on the cpu and on faster data exchange via SSD. The same preset to allow developers to choose all the items that they count as "ultra". 1080: 87 avg FPS. Second: 98 avg FPS. Once again, the difference in MSRP at the time of release is two times. The difference in raw performance of the current gen is 13% rounded. My conclusion: Are we paying for technologies? For RTX, which was tried and almost immediately turned off, but this was counted in the statistics of active RTX users? For what happened in 20? Inflation at the level of small dictatorship countries? For me, this is "tightening the screws" and trying to test the market "how much are people willing to go into debt just to buy our new product?" A sad situation 😢

[@B1u35ky]

My previous build from 2018 had a Vega Frontier which had a crazy 16gb HBM2 VRAM for the time, which is the same as my current 4080! It was good enough for 4k60 for most games back like 2017-2020ish

Also a legendary phone, in the sense of being very unremarkable but respected as a sensible pick, a last holdout with replaceable battery and headphone jack. For me, the Vega 64 is the GOAT as it's the card still powering my desktop to this day. I am power-limiting it to 150W and not even feeling a need for an upgrade, aside from the lacklustre video encoding.

Not sure what's going on with Arkham Knight 4K results. I needed a 5700 XT to lock 4K60 during gameplay (and some 50-55 during cutscenes). How is V64 pulling 67 fps?

I am a proud owner of a Gigabyte aorus GTX 1080 Ti Xtreme edition 11G. I was ready to give a Like for this vid. But after a listen to his conclusion: No, thank you for this vid but I must hit this useless Unlike-Button. 😢

[@ChadKenova]

Would’ve liked to seen the Radeon Vii instead of the 64. I know most people don’t have one but i bought one at launch i like collecting gpu’s. Still one of my favorite looking cards. I would like to see 1080ti, 2080, Vii shootout.

[@Reknilador]

The Vega 64 was released to compete with the 1080 as was the vega 56 to compete with the 1070/1070ti, the drivers ended up being decent, but the only competitor to the 1080ti is the RX 5700 XT, though that released later.

[@PeteKay]

did you get that 1080ti from another youtuber? Love the channel, did note the mistake too but you're on it. Take care mate.

[@TrusteftTech]

For some reason I associate the name Vega in graphics with Apple computers. Not entirely sure why. I think iMacs from that time had it? Good video. For me the better performance of the 1080Ti, the better power consumption without tinkering, and the better driver support, easily give the better value award to the 1080 Ti. Not even close.

[@whodisab9725]

You should try flashing the Vega 64 LC bios , it gives a bump in performance and lets you overclock better.

Hmm, you're currently at the Forbidden Number of subscribers Congratulations on the funny Internet number, Nice

The *GOAT* remains undefeated!

[@F_A_N_A_T_yhasniy_YT_update]

Was MSAA anti-aliasing enabled in Total War: Warhammer 2 and which version of DirectX was used?

[@nicovega1831]

One of those two might be the greatest of all time but the Vega56 was the real deal for the money. Do the undervoltage for the GPU, bring the Samsung HBM VRAM to 950MHZ and it was practically as fast as the Vega64 because GCN could never use utilize the full potential out of the CUs. It still can run my friend's games like Diablo 4 with 90+fps on 1080p with 175 Watt.

[@excess.subiefl0w]

Both of these cards offered me a fun time gaming as well as alot of coins mining ethereum on both and monero on the vega when the algorithim was cryptonote good times

[@Couldbeazombie]

Awww yeah new iceberg video!

[@elektronischermeister]

Clock for clock Fury and Vega are identical, but Vega clocks to 1500MHz instead of the 1000MHz of Fury.

[@Gonebeef]

Your 1080ti is so iconic tbh

[@WheeledHamster]

Man I had a 1080ti back in 2017, then upgrade to a 3080, now I'm sitting at a 4080.

[@ravipeiris4388]

When I purchased my Cyberpower PC in December 2019 sporting a Nvidia 2060 Super, I was stunned to see how the 1080 ti had benchmarks that surpassed my 2060 Super despite the 1080 ti being several years older ❤.

[@Khloya69]

Only 1 gen older, and like 3 or 4 tiers above.

[@Pasi123]

The 2060 Super is only 2 years newer

[@GamingLovesJohn]

I had this card for 2 years from 2018 to 2020, and then swapped to the RTX 3080... I still have my 3080 going for 4 years now. That 1080ti is still in one of my friend's rigs :D

[@666legator]

Xa. Even now I have both. The only gripe with vega64 is the temperature, even after repaste. But it’s still amazing. And gtx1080ti - well THE GPU.

[@krazownik3139]

I wonder how differently Vega would perform on Linux, since GCN cards still have (and would have) an actual drivers over here.

[@jelipebands1700]

Amd supported freesync at a time when nvidia did not. I upgraded my gtx1080 to my vega64 and it made all the difference in the world.

[@napalmarsch]

i have both here an Sapphire Nitro Vega 64 i call here the Wintertime Headmaker and an EVGA 1080TI FTW3

[@johnquigleyiii7685]

Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 got next gen patches which added FSR 2.

[@raresmacovei8382]

FSR1*

[@AbbasDalal1000]

I doubt there is any competition in this comparison

[@AJ-jq3hm]

Wasn't vega 64 supposed to be a 1080 competitor while the 56 meant to be a 1070 competitor? I wish you had compared the 64 to the 1080,instead of the 1080 ti, because I don't remember the 64 ever being considered a "goat". The 1080 on the other hand is very highly regarded to this day. So if you really wanted a radeon for this comparison , the 64 vs 1080 would've been great, as the two were touted as competitors.

[@MusicHavenSG]

The 1080Ti is still the GOAT over the Vega 64 because even though it is an older card than the 64, it still receives official driver updates! Still good for high level 1440p gaming. I see the 64 more as closer to the mid range level than high end.

[@cybernd6426]

I think what would be interesting to see how long the different GPUs took to be called "low-end" or "lower mid-range" Or how long they took till they were slower than 200-300€ GPUs

[@Josue31627]

GTX 1080 TI too much of a monster. The fact that the Vega 64 can even kinda sorta hang around is pretty impressive. Were they direct competition though? I thought it was Vega 56 vs GTX 1070 and Vega 64 vs GTX 1080. Or was it more "competition" like the RTX 4090 vs RX 7900 XTX? Speaking of which, I am curious if the Vega 64 can beat the GTX 1080.

[@snipeez1ify]

I recall that the Vega 64 was more often compared to the 1080, and same for the 56 to the 1070. Those are where the price and the performance matched, and traded the lead depending on the game. Just how like next gen the 5700XT is really closest to the 2070 super in price/performance.

[@arenzricodexd4409]

"The fact that the Vega 64 can even kinda sorta hang around is pretty impressive." vega was touted as 1080Ti killer before launch. in the end the card only compete mostly with 1080 that launch a year earlier.

[@Nelevita]

Funny thing is my Radeon Pro 7 Cards since then working in my severs split up.Replacing it seems quite hard because Vega loves to give them 4 or more things at once and sucks at gaming for the power.

[@GrumpyWolfTech]

I had the card, unfortunately I had a evga version which literally died on me 3 times, every 6 months on the dot I had to RMA it, eventually I got sick of it and after the 3rd RMA I got a MSI 2080ti and it was a solid card for over a year until I upgraded. The card itself though it was very affordable. I paid around 650 at the time, which was nearly half the price of the next flagship 2080ti. I loved this card and would have kept it longer if EVGA didn't make garbage cards, glad they died.

[@mraltoid19]

When you do the RX-5700XT vs RTX-2080-Ti, try to look for the Navi10-XTX based, RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary. It's clocked a bit higher, so should compete better with the 2080-Ti. I have an RTX-2080 and an RX-5700-Vanilla, and found them comparable. I don't think the XT is going to punch high enough to hit the Ti though. But, AMD may win out on price, as the 5700-XT was less than half the price of the 2080-Ti. At the time, the 5700XT was seen more as an RTX-2060 competitor, but I really think it should be considered closer to the RTX-2080-Super...without RT of course.

[@alexg9155]

I had a 50th anniversary overclocked as high as it would go, with hardware mods and whatnot. It was barely beating a 2070 super, 10.000 flat on TimeSpy Graphics Score. So, not a 2080ti competitor, not even a 2080 competitor unfortunately.

[@bartdierickx4630]

Vega was a 1080 gtx competitor. Performance and price were in 1080 non ti bracket. We all know 1080ti was miles ahead in 2017-2019. It would be interesting to see how it fares against vega64 beyond their relevant era. Simply to test the bogus fine wine claims of AMD fan boys.

[@hellmalm]

Ingmar Bergman start awesome! -"I'm death!"

[@Dima_eh]

bro, when is the video about the legend 2070 super?

[@RobloxianX]

Cant wait for "The Greatest GPU of 2018". Which will just be the Titan RTX because AMD didn't release a high end GPU in 2018

[@mraltoid19]

Vega64 was more of a 1080-Vanilla competitor...wouldn't the Radeon 7 be more comparable? I guess in 7 years, you'll be testing the RTX4090 vs RX-7900XTX...despite the 7900XTX really being closer to the 4080, it's the best AMD has today, just as the Vega64 was the best AMD had.

[@Mistericek1]

your underrated

[@maroosagaming]

he really went with the worst possible x3d cpu for these

[@chedds]

He got it in a sale, and let's be honest, isn't as the 7900X3D would bottleneck aggressively in any resolution higher than 1200p

[@trippyvibersbass880]

weird thing is that second hand market is flooded with vegas. id say even more than 1080Tis... seems like miners got fucked and need to get rid of their stuff

I had Aorus 1080Ti Xtreme Edition from 2017 up to 2023 when it died :( Best GPU ever made.

[@awaiswasi354]

as an AMB boi, i have a huge respect for 1080ti. it was the only nvidia GPU i ever had, and i frickin loved it. wish i could say the same for current gen nvidia GPU'S but nah, they've lost their charm.
