Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands (DirectX 11)

We deliberately avoid this game’s highest quality preset, which enables Nvidia’s Turf Effects feature and hammers performance pretty hard.

The step up to 3840x2160 allows Vega 56 to jump the EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC Gaming 8GB in absolute terms. But the two cards perform almost identically (though all four GeForce cards do exhibit slightly higher frame time variance through our test sequence).
