Poll: ** The AMD VEGA Thread **

If these benchmarks are right (wccftech, and the author said the 480 will beat a 980...) than this will need to ship at around 1070 prices, the 1070/80 have been out a year and this is all AMD can do?
That said I'll take anything wccftech says with a pinch of salt, I'll wait for release and proper real world gaming benchmarks and reviews
Got to be honest and say that you are the only one who is really being rude here. pretty much everyone I have read over the last couple of pages has been having a decent discussion and some very valid points regarding Vega and the hype. I am one of the many hoping that if the performance isn't there at least, the price will be and I am quite a staunch NVidia guy. I personally would love to see gaming Vega stomp on the 1080Ti but realistically, that isn't going to happen but I asked quite a few days back if people would be happy with 1080 performance at the same cost and some were (Freesync owners etc), some weren't (too late to the party) and some would be if it is cheaper than the 1080.
You need to chill with the flaming and join in the discussions like everyone else is.
If these are real, that isn't too shabby at all and a bit better than I was expecting. Hopefully the price is good also.

I am very skeptical, being WCCFtech and all, but if it's at that point on the reference cooler, an aftermarket cooler should hopefully add another few percent performance and it wouldn't be bad at all.
Yea, being wccftech does make it hard to take as real but they do occasionally get things correct, so fingers crossed, this is one of them. Even if it isn't an overclockers dream, that is fairly decent performance right there and as you say, a decent custom card or water will help give some extra on top.
I've said all along that matching or beating GTX 1080 performance at a GTX 1070 price point would be a fantastic result for me...probably not for AMD in terms of profit per card but there you go. While it is disappointing that that's the best this architecture can do, if the result is correct, it's also probably the best we can hope for after seeing the FE performance.
You have to assume that nVidia will have a lot of leeway with Volta - hell they could just re-brand the 1080 as a GTX 2070 and still be home dry, leaving Volta for the higher end cards.
If the price isn't competitive with the 1080/ti if it sits between them in performance terms, I'll pass. I can see Nvidia dropping their RRP by 50 quid knowing HMB2 isn't cheap. Top end RX for will have to sit around 500 for me to upgrade my 290x. Could be a new record for me, 5 years with the same GPU.
Yeah, with no direct link to the comparison I can't believe that. Not even for a second. It's very easy (just tested it) to go in with F12 and change the values. I can post a screenshot showing whatever I want.
Edit: Ok, fair enough. I used the videocardz link down below to take a look for myself.

Well said although I think Panos is going to be angry no matter what happens.........
Things are looking a bit better then!
We shouldn't just dismiss it though. There will be other leaks that'll confirm it or prove it false.

I thought that had been general knowledge since early last year,
RTG weren't in a position to make seperate chips, ie: one for pro work and one for gaming so, Pro work took precedence.

I would say it has a fair chance of being pretty accurate, but whether that's through sheer luck with pulling numbers out of their behinds, or that they know something already only time will tell.

Well the clocks are upwards of 15% higher of what the FE was showing running stuff, so it's not as if it wasn't expected.
Hold your horses folks. Videocardz.com looked into it. He has a list of all the 3DMark runs with that gpu I'D. Wccft only took the top one.

with 30% more TDP and over a year behind
At the end of the day, competition is a very positive thing. It's better that AMD get into it late (with a much smaller R&D budget I might add) than abandon it or not be able to compete at all.

I find it amazing how WCCF are always patting themselves on the back implying they're amazing for accurately predicted something that was obviously the way thing's were going to go.
If a monkey were to fling as much doo-dah as WCCF does some's eventually going to stick.
