AMD may have new GPU with performance at par with GTX 1070

AMD has been working on a new a GPU lineup, for some time now. These GPUs are expected to stand alongside its new Ryzen processors. The company named the lineup ‘Vega’ at GDC earlier this year, but since then, AMD has been awfully quiet about the new GPUs. Now though, a leaked 3DMark benchmark listing gives us a glimpse at what we can expect. While the listing names the GPU as Generic VGA(1x), speculation suggests that this might be one of the Vega GPUs.

As per the listing, the GPU scores 5950 points, which puts it at par with the Galax GTX 1070 OC GPU by NVIDIA. While, this means that the GPU is still slower than the GTX 1080, 1080 Ti and the Titan cards, AMD has not been able to offer high-end graphic card solutions that could match up to NVIDIA’s Pascal lineup. This could help it do just that, at least to some degree.
