Hence why 'compute' is irrelevant for gaming and why the 1080Ti, RTX 2080 and 2080TI spank the Vega VII in gaming benchmarks even though AMD like to flaunt the Flops numbers about just like Sony do with their consoles. The reason a lot of articles dont even mention it is because it's meaningless when other card specifications affect that throughput. The numbers you mentioned in that last post would indicate twice the performance........in theoretical maximums involving memory bandwidth then yes, but in real world performance, and certainly gaming (where the card is aimed at, its behind the same priced competing cards) then no.

There's no change again.....it's getting very tiring watching AMD cherry pick certain sets of numbers that make their cards appear as if they are competing at the top end even though they are yet to manufacture a card of recent that does anything other than offer bang for buck. If it's not HBM, GFlops or memory bits it's something else. They aren't competing at all so they aren't forcing Nvidia to drop their outrageous pricing of high performance GPUs.

The problem with Vega VII is that most people are aware it's just a rehashed, gimped 7nm Instinct MI50 that's the same price as a 2 year old Nvidia GTX 1080ti but still cant reach the same gaming performance (I'm not sure why AMD claim it's competing with the RTX 2080 as it doesn't have the same feature set). We'll see what Navi has to offer in time but patience is wearing thin after so many promises over recent years, and the inability to break Nvidias performance dominance. By the time Navi does appear, Nvidia will have increased the performance watermark yet again and moved to smaller and more efficient fabrication. Nvidia appear to have performance to spare but AMD are always running at their max ceiling.
