[PConline News] In addition to well-known 3DMark test software, Futuremark also launched VRMark test software for VR. This test software is also constantly updated. There have been two previous Blue Room and Orange Room. In the test scenario, yesterday they introduced the Cyan Room, a VR test optimized for the Microsoft DX12 API, which is more advanced than the previous two tests. Not long after the new DX12 VR test was released, AMD immediately announced its own Cyan Room results. The RX Vega 64 graphics card scored 6477 points, which is 21% higher than that of the GTX 1080 graphics card. Normally, it is at most not related to the GTX 1080. It's just that.
Futuremark's previous Orange Room for VR was mainly aimed at VR Ready tests for HTC Vive and Oculis Rift. The Blue Room further improved the requirements and the rendering resolution was raised to the 5K level. At that time, it was claimed to be the hardware-demanding VR test, and now Cyan Room is the latest VR test developed entirely based on the DX12 API. This test can reflect whether the VR platform can use the DX12 API to develop an immersive experience with low overhead.
Since the original DX12 was mentioned, AMD would have to stand up and do something. After all, previous tests showed that AMD's graphics cards have better performance in the DX12 API. Scott Wasson, AMD's technical marketing manager, released their test results on Radeon's website, comparing the test results of AMD's graphics cards and NVIDIA graphics cards in the Cyan Room, as shown below:
Cyan Room score
Look at the score first, RX VEGA 64 scored 7776, RX VEGA 56 also scored 743, GTX 1080 scored 6437, GTX 1070 Ti scored 5950, counted VEGA 64 graphics leading GTX 1080 graphics about 21% performance, and before we In the first test, the performance of the VEGA 64 graphics card was the same as the GTX 1080 at most, and it was impossible to lead by as much as 20%, indicating that the AMD RX Vega graphics card has certain advantages in the DX12 VR test.
The number of frames, RX VEGA 64 is 170fps, VEGA 56 is 162fps, GTX 1080 graphics card is 140fps, GTX 1070 Ti is 130fps, so RX VEGA 64 graphics card leading GTX 1080 graphics card is also about 21%, and basically the same score.
In addition, AMD's PPT does not list GTX 1080 Ti's results. According to the price of VEGA 64, the target of its competition should be the latter instead of GTX 1080, and GTX 1080 Ti performance is about 30% higher than that of GTX 1080, so to speak If AMD does not mention the GTX 1080 Ti, it is obviously because the test did not beat the GTX 1080 Ti. However, for AMD, it is not bad to have such a performance in the DX12 VR test, but the test here is still a theoretical test and it is not reflected in the actual game. Let's take a look.
