14 DAY TRIAL // First online leaks of possible Fiji XT compute performance roll out on CompuBench online benchmarking website. Apparently, it's better that Nvidia's Titan X at OpenCL tests.
Amid the large number of fake tests and leaks on the Internet, the latest benchmarks seem to be true, especially if taking into account that the maximum compute units given is 64, from which we can conclude that the Fiji die does indeed have 4096 stream processors.
The OpenCL performance tests show the AMD Radeon Fury X beating out Nvidia’s GM200-powered TITAN-X in most of the runs. A straightforward comparison between Titan X and Fury shows that AMD’s newest Radeon GPU clearly beats the Titan in Optical Flow, Ocean Surface Simulation, but stays behind in Particle Simulation and Face Detection. The Fiji-based AMD ‘Fury’ graphic card scores an approximate 102.2 FPS as compared to the TITAN-X which scores 137.7 FPS.
No leaps and bounds, yet
As I have predicted, the "marginally better" issue still remains. If this leak ends up reflecting Fury's real specs, it will not be able to provide quantum leaps ahead of Nvidia but only a few steps ahead in terms of performance.
Unfortunately, the GFXBench OpenGL based tests are unreliable at consistently predicting gaming performance, and although the comparisons remain highly plausible, a clearer and more straightforward impression will come in just seven days.
In my opinion, there’s a high probability that this test is either incomplete or fake.
