With the Talos Principle, the Radeon RX Vega 64 comes up shy of a GeForce GTX 1070 and more in line with the previous-generation GTX 980 Ti. The GTX 1080 Ti is about 70% faster than the Vega 64 in this test.

With Dota 2 at 4K, the Radeon RX Vega 64 still comes in short of the GeForce GTX 1070.

When looking at the performance-per-Watt, the Pascal line-up remains well ahead of Vega... It will be interesting to see where Turing comes in.

With Dota 2 on Vulkan, the frame-rates are slightly higher, but it's still to NVIDIA's advantage.

It is fun to see how the performance-per-Watt has evolved over these recent GPU generations...
