First up was BioShock Infinite at 1080p with medium quality settings. To little surprise, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti was running ahead of the RX Vega 64. The Core i7 8700K remained a great deal faster than the Ryzen 7 2700X even with using the Linux 4.16 kernel.

And for those planning to game at 4K, here are those numbers.

With Deus Ex: Mankind Divided at 1080p with low quality settings, the RX Vega 64 matched the GTX 1080 Ti performance in this CPU bound scenario when running on the Core i7 8700K while with the Ryzen 7 2700 series they led to a few extra frames with the NVIDIA Pascal GPU.

Granted when upping the visual intensity, the GTX 1080 Ti was quick to pull ahead on the i7-8700K configuration.

Dota 2 at 1080p with Vulkan continued leading with the i7-8700K and with the NVIDIA GPU, but the results were tighter.

Or at 4K, the RX Vega 64 performance was the same across the three tested GPUs while the GTX 1080 Ti continued scaling just fine.
