AMD do do well in Resi. 7, i expect th RX will be faster than the 1080, if the FEs matching it.

Yeah thought they did.

Only a few more days to go.

See this indicates to me that gaming Vega should fall somewhere between 1080 and 108Ti. Vega FE is trading blows with the 1080 here even with it's limited stock cooler with core clock averaging around 1440 MHz. With decent cooling I would expect Vega RX to sit much closer to ~1600 stock and coupled with even 10% boost due to more optimised drivers expect ~20% faster over Vega FE.

I haven't even factored in the allegedly disabled gaming features and power optimisations the RX is rumoured to get. Even if this isn't true then I do expect Vega to be a very decent upgrade over Fury/FuryX. So I will be getting one and pairing it with my 4k Freesync monitor.

To must have us waiting for it yeah this has been a pain and AMD really dropped the ball. But it doesn't detract from anything I said above.

I never mentioned you. I will buy amd again when they beat nvidia in the same year.. And yes I have both amd and nvida cards.

If I remember correctly nvidia Ti and XP was also very limited in what was known outside of nvidia. No one expected the little Xp and even the Ti was a surprise.

If amd have managed to keep everything under lock down good for them I say

Nvidia were in a very different position where it made sense to be quite, releasing information about the Ti when the Titan was already rleased would have cost sales. AMD have nothing to loose by rleasing more shippets and letting out some leaks, excpet of course if the RX really does perform he same as everyone with a head on their shoulders expects from the FE.

That slide has been interpreted in many different ways. Some say it's the segment they are attacking, others say the line merely indicates the end of the financial quarter they are referring to.

If anyone want's to try and put this slide into context, you can try and understand with this video https://youtu.be/g6_97GOr63w?t=5023 there's a guy speaking in Russian over the top, but unfortunately it's the only video available on the net including the Lisa Su part ... >_< (it's easier to hear with headphones)
But from what I understand the line on the side represents their market share goals in a given sector ( 1:24:21) then she says that raja will explain how they will be present in all the sectors with Vega, and then we can go and listen to Raja's part for further context (no Russian) from here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=590h3XIUfHg&t=1860s

Gibbo probably has boxes of them stacked up in the OC warehouse. However, AMD have threatened to shoot him if he so much as mentions them. ;)
 
I expect the AIO version to way more expensive than people have guessed, with the spin that it is designed for those who demand a quiet rig. The premium will be for the silence and cooler temps inside a case, not to unlock the full potential of the GPU (according to marketing, anyway). I fear near or even over Ti prices.

Better not be as you can get a 1080Ti with a decent AIB cooler that will run very cool and virtually silent anyway.

LOL, clutching at straws mate.

Vega isn't going to be a 1080Ti competitor, it's going to top out somewhere near 1080 perf.

Feel free to quote me on release day... (not 9 months later after they fix the drivers...)

I am not clutching at anything, I don't expect Vega to match a 1080Ti. I just know that all of last year AMD covered the mid end TAM from start to finish, as they will this year. The high end however they will only cover for about 50% of the year so therefore the line only goes half way up.
