AMD are nowhere near in the game, just matching a card thats going to be over a year old, is a bloody massive fail imo, as that long afterwards, they should be topping them, as whats the point in bringing out a card to match a year+ old one, when everyones already on that year+ old card.

If there is logic in tech than AMD do not deserve to exist.
 
A video of SWBF running at 4K ultra with vsync on for a constant 60fps is hardly a good gauge of its performance, yes its better than whats currently on the market but saying stupid things like oh but the 1080's been out 9 months is pointless.

For all you know vsync off it could be rocking 100fps+ which would indeed crush nvidias current range and quiet possibly Volta as well. In the interest of competition I hope AMD do indeed crush nvidia and intel this time around, the whole gpu and cpu market needs a good kick up the backside.

The smart people will sell their 1080 and buy the real deal Vega.
Its better, it has better drivers and are the better card in the history of gpu´s
imagine you bought a card that had an extra tax and then suddenly its yesterdays news, old shaggy and forgotten like it just did happen to the 1080.

I understand your anger man, I do I feel it pouring out sitting at your home decorated with green flags and the image of Jen-Hsun Huang hanging in the roof when you go to bed looking up to your hero thinking why oh why did you leave AMD as you could been a real God instead of yesterdays news.

Then its easy so easy to become depressed to cry in a corner and then blame anyone else about Jen-Hsun Huang failure to deliver something worthwhile. In fact you become so deep into the darkness you come to AMD threads to cry and whine and say things you dont really mean due to the sheer disappointment of knowing your now just living in the shadows of the glorious vega starpower shining the light upon the world to share and hug one another we the red we make some noise and you cant simply not shut us out.

Vega baby best card in graphics history, Godlike starpower from Raja and Lisa.

:D:D:D:D:D:p

Yes because what we all need is nvidia to have no competition and can price how they like. If that was the case we would be paying £500 for GTX 1060's :|

Vega maybe late to the game, but if its priced right and can trade blows with the 1080Ti it would be amazing ...or even the 1080 at the right price would be good :)

Nvidia where the can will charge the consumer, look at g-sync :/
 
Hmm seems a little overhype here. There are clear differences between what was shown in the video to actually playing. I can easily see the card loosing 10fps actually playing and not walking about.

The gtx1080 is capable of holding 60fps at 4k also if you just buy one of the aftermarket overclocked cards. I don't see this being a major jump or anything.

Price will determine this for those who haven't already moved onto the latest Nvidia or have Freesync as a possibility or looking at a freesync 2 in the future.

I have not read through it all but assume this is a stock clocked AMD card so could also be some minor gains and of course driver updates. I don't think we are really looking at GTX Ti levels though.
 
Lol there was v sync on so this card was actually doing more than 60 my wild guess 70 or 80. It will clearly sit between 1080 and ti/pascal on top of that amd simply has better dx12 support

Then get a 1080, which a lot have done with 290s and up, i see no point waiting for Vega, if its a year+ old 1080.

Nvidia are not for everyone .... for example anyone who uses Linux & OSS drivers (nVidia haven't been releasing firmware for the new cards with any speed). AMD cards are very good with Linux OSS support

Can't say they have better Dx12 support, as it doesn't really matter yet, got a few Dx11s that have been patched laters with it.

When we get proper Dx12 games, from the ground up, not 11s patched laters, and a good amount of em, Nvidia will be better than they are, you can guarantee it, as ive said before, remember the tessellation, AMD had that for years before Nvidia, and look what happened, once it started getting used, Nvidia done it, and smashed em, even though they were all them years later with it.

Whats the bloody point in being great at something now thats not getting used/hardly used.

Agree. Nvidia are pretty good at providing what's needed for the here and now. Ie, no HBM when it's not required, and they will indeed do DX12 properly when it really matters. AMD rushed out their DX11/tesselation to get a competitve advantage and it did work for them but Nvidia did do a much better implementation.
 
Why is everyone so sure V-sync was on? I think it's more likely that 60 fps was the max set through AMD's Wattman software. So really we know very little.

EDIT: Because we saw the settings in the video! I'm such a doofus :D
