Compute
Shifting gears, let’s take a look at compute performance on new Radeon RX 500 cards.
Starting us off for our look at compute is LuxMark3.1, the latest version of the official benchmark of LuxRender. LuxRender’s GPU-accelerated rendering mode is an OpenCL based ray tracer that forms a part of the larger LuxRender suite. 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.
For our second set of compute benchmarks we have CompuBench 1.5, the successor to CLBenchmark. CompuBench offers a wide array of different practical compute workloads, and we’ve decided to focus on face detection, optical flow modeling, and particle simulations.

Ryan I think because you did the review and posted that makes you first post no matter what. Good review by the way thank you.theangryintern - Tuesday, April 18, 2017 - link
You do realize that this review has probably been done for at least a week, right? They were under NDA until this morning.Drumsticks - Tuesday, April 18, 2017 - link
That doesn't mean a review was guaranteed. Anandtech, while putting out phenomenal reviews, occasionally delivered them later than launch day.This one was great too, by the way, thanks!

Also, I should add that they've been way more timely lately, which is great.Samus - Tuesday, April 18, 2017 - link
It's amazing people will find any excuse to dismiss a launch day review...
