AMD Navi Leaked GPU Has Similar Performance To Vega 56

AMD Navi

AMD Navi graphics cards are supposed to be the next-generation mainstream cards that will replace the AMD RX cards that are based on the Polaris architecture. While the RX 400 series has been refreshed with the RX 500 series, the architecture is still pretty much the same and the boost in performance is minimal.

AMD Navi graphics card code name 66AF: F1 has been leaked and the performance is much better compared to the AMD RX 580 and is similar to the Vega 56. This could be one of the reasons why we heard that the AMD Vega 56 is getting a price cut. We also heard about the upcoming AMD RX 560 XT that is based on the same Polaris architecture but has higher clock speed.

It seems that AMD is clearing the cards from its inventory in order to make room for the new ones. Nvidia has already released the GTX 1660 Ti and it is going to release the GTX 1660 and the 1650 very soon. These will be the mainstream cards from Nvidia. Keeping that in mind, AMD Navi cards should not be too far off either.

When it comes to compute performance the AMD Navi graphics card is better than the AMD RX 580 but it lags behind when compared to the AMD Vega 64. This is a bit disappointing keeping in mind how old the AMD Vega 64 is and what we expected from AMD Navi.

It is worth mentioning that this is a leak and that performance could get better over time with some tweaking and better driver support. AMD Radeon VII was not all that great and I hope that AMD can do better with AMD Navi graphics cards.

AMD Navi is going to be the next generation architecture from AMD so there is a lot of hype around it. This is also going to be the graphics architecture that is going to power the upcoming Xbox One Scarlett and PS5 consoles.

Let us know what you think about Navi and whether or not you are interested in getting an AMD Navi graphics card when they come out.
