About the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 GPU

The AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q3 2017 with a MSRP of $399. It is built on the GCN 5.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Vega 10) and is manufactured on a 14 nm process.

Memory

The RX Vega 56 has 8 GB of HBM2 memory, with a 800 MHz memory clock and a 2,048 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 409.6 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The RX Vega 56 includes 3,584 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,156 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,471 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 224 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The RX Vega 56 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.0b, DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. AMD recommends a power supply of at least 550 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 210 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The RX Vega 56 has the 98th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 567 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 22.41% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090. Its 29,086 score and $399 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 72.9. This is the 52nd best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.

About the AMD Radeon RX 8060S GPU

The Radeon RX 8060S is a graphics card by AMD. It is built on the RDNA 3.5 GPU microarchitecture.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The RX 8060S includes 40 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. Additionally, the GPU features 40 ray accelerators dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Benchmark Performance

The RX 8060S has the 52nd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 567 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 30.95% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090.
