Radeon Pro Vega 56 vs 580 |
First seen on June, 2017
AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56
- 1.2 GHz
- 8 GB
by Anand-Lal-Shimpi (Jun, 2013)Ray tracing has become a stronghold for GPUs in recent years as ray tracing maps well to GPU pipelines, allowing artists to render scenes much more quickly than with CPUs alone.
