12-Way Graphics Card OpenCL Comparison With AMDGPU-PRO 17.40 ROCm, NVIDIA 384.98

First up was looking at the maximum single-precision FLOPS with SHOC. The RX Vega 56 and RX Vega 64 are competitive and where they should be performing relative to the hardware's true potential when not interfered by OpenGL/Vulkan driver shortcomings as we have seen out of our graphics testing.

The AC system power consumption was monitored by the Phoronix Test Suite by polling a WattsUp Pro power meter.

NVIDIA Pascal GPUs of the GTX 1070/1080 series offer significantly better performance-per-Watt than the RX Vega series, as we've seen on the graphics side as well.

While RX Vega is backed by HBM2 memory, when it comes to texture read bandwidth in SHOC, the RX Vega 64 comes up shy of the GTX 1070.
