Radeon RX Vega 64 vs GeForce GTX 1080 FCAT - DX12: FCAT Frame
Radeon RX Vega 64 has recently been released, in this review we will be analyzing frame time/pacing in combination with FCAT comparing Vega 64 towards the GeForce GTX 1080. With FCAT (Frame Capture Analysis Tool) we can detect and visualize if there are any problems related to rendering content in terms of stuttering or oddities.
For this article we'll testDirectX 11 and DirectX 12 games. To analyse frametime experiences we revert to our FCAT measuring setup, which we'll explain that technology in the next few pages. This technique allows us to record each frame rendered precisely up to the millisecond. The beauty of this technique is that it measures at the monitor output side, that means everything you can observe with your eyes (or not) is measured. The focus for this article today is the Radeon RX Vega 64, as the GTX 1080 already has had an FCAT review. For the FCAT we rely on DVI output, the reference Radeon RX Vega 56/64 cards do not have one. We just received an AIB RX Vega 64 (ASUS STRIX) that has one, hence we dived straight into the results:
