AMD’s Radeon VII defeats the RTX 2080 in leaked 4K benchmarks

There’s not long to wait for the launch of AMD’s Radeon VII graphics card, the first gaming GPU of its kind on the 7nm process node. However, even before the embargo's up and performance figures are let loose on the globe, some avid benchmarkers' results have been scooped right off the interwebs for us to lay our prying eyes on. AMD’s high-end gaming GPU has been spotted across the UL 3DMark benchmarking suite, that means we have access to early results for Firestrike, Firestrike Extreme, Firestrike Ultra, and Time Spy. Plenty to be tucking into. But not to ruin your Margarita with an over enthusiastic salting, it’s worth noting that, while there are evidently Radeon VII samples out in the wild, all drivers are pre-release and therefore performance is not necessarily final. As for those sweet, all-important performance index numbers, fresh leaks from the underbelly of the internet (thanks, TUM_APISAK) would have us believe the Radeon VII in 3DMark Time Spy, with a score of 8,700 timepoints or what have you, is outperformed by our results for the Nvidia RTX 2080, holding its own at 9,645.
