AMD Radeon RX Vega gets blind tested versus GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (video)

A couple of days ago, HardOCP revealed they received a Radeon RX Vega sample for about half a day. The site used the sample to perform a blind test, similar to what AMD did at its Budapest and PDXLAN events last week. But instead of comparing with a GeForce GTX 1080, as AMD suggested to HardOCP's Kyle Bennett, he decided to spice things up by using a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti.

The setup of the blind test included two identical systems with the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X CPU, one system with the AMD Radeon RX Vega and another one with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. What did differ is that the AMD system used a FreeSync display, while the NVIDIA configuration featured a G-Sync panel.

Kyle invited several gamers for the test, including gaming journalists, a former id Software employee, eSports professionals, and some teenage hardcore gamers. Due to time constraints, the test was limited to just one game (DOOM). You can view the results below, but keep in mind this is a very subjective test that is not even a direct comparison of both cards. AMD will reveal its Radeon RX Vega lineup this weekend.
