They puld have sent someone over to PCPer to demonstrate RX Vega in private with the condition they cant public started performance numbers.but can use adjectives.
Nope, AMD simply confirmed to PCPer that Vega was running correctly.

Presuming we dont have new games, new graphic effects that again bring fps down below 100 below 60 even. Im not talking max frames but the minimum where everything gets bogged down and the in game feeling is wrecked
Watched Linus quick take on Frontier, he calls Vega out as a 300w 1060. Obviously bit of his exaggeration but yet another voice for frontier and rx are not going to vary performance that much.
Im willing to believe such new technology he could be wrong, hardware will not be the final say this gen could rely far more on the intelligent design aspect. Could be a washout but its reasonable to think AMD already knew these problems at outset, I think they are running late though
Frontier ran the SPEC tests correctly. AMD are being stubborn perhaps, rx isnt out and they wont be rushed on it?
Is not a gaming card nor is advertised as such. So AMD can provided it without proper gaming drivers. Where is their fault?

Hi,
AMD's 480 and 580 cards went up to £300 before the mining took off again, Vega is a high end gpu so I think it will at least match the Fiji prices or be more than Fiji prices due to the pounds current value.

Maybe performance is poor and they're looking at it as they can't do anything about it so, they're pushing these overpriced FE's out the door first hoping to sell as many as possible before the gaming cards release and the value drops of a cliff.
Maybe they're not interested in selling many gaming cards as they know they won't be competitive so they're putting the effort into selling Vega professionally, If that's the case the price for the gaming cards could be sky high.
Maybe they're thinking about how Nvidia get away with releasing a Titan and then releasing a gaming version that everyone thinks is at a great price even though it sells anywhere from £600 up to a £1000 and they want a piece of the pie.
My question:
There's an online company using Vega for streaming games right now, does that not require Vega's gaming drivers to be ready? I'm wondering if they do the game work before streaming or it's done by the gpu at the players end?

Hmm so you met him too..... Must be true!
Where are you getting your Fallout 4 info from? If it was Pcoers live stream they've redone the test because apparently they had used incorrect settings.

I've missed this bit, When did it become known that the Vega FE's using Fiji drivers?
PCper debunked the "old January drivers" theory last week.
As someone who is not English could you please clarify what you mean?
You mean at the FE launch event when they had an on-stage demo of an FE playing Sniper Elite 4 at 60-70 FPS (settings unknown) it wasn't to advertise it's gaming ability?
I'd probably go with the theory already mentioned of hitting the H1 release date.
Considering all the bad PR they've had it would probably have been much better to delay the FE until the RX release or even later. I suppose money comes into it as well - if it's not for sale your not making money.

Exactly, During the livestream Ryan at Pcper said he'd spoken to his AMD contact that day. He was told that the FE had the latest drivers for work and gaming,
He was also told that the only difference between this FE driver and the one that releases with the RX at the end of July will be any tweaks they do over the next four weeks.
They've advertised it as being a good gaming card, Even Raj has said that the FE will provide a good 4k gaming experience .
@ Panos
I don't see the point in getting yourself all worked up over the opinions others have about a graphics card, Maybe it's time to take a step back and chill out.
the original video of that is crazy as it nearly runs away from him
Too hot to handle.
We don't know what the performance is. What does "ready" mean, it really ambiguous?
even if it's not a gaming card, vega RX would still need at least 30% more performance for it to barely land where conservative estimates puts it.
and that much performance seem unlikely, having vega RX loosing to the 1080 after over a year is really bad for AMD Radeon brand.

let's all hope raja pulls a miracle out of his derriere.

Do it and just make do til Volta launches. Or just play CS all the time
You're talking to someone who's had probably 12-13 monitors in the last couple of years inc 2 Freesync ones and a multitude of Gsync ones. Go Gsync.
What makes you say Gsync is better than Freesync?
G-Sync having better ranges probably. That is the only difference these days. His huge ultrawide LG had very poor Freesync range.
