I'm going with 50% faster than a FuryX, which would put it in the 1080 ballpark (and ahead on certain strong AMD games where ya'know, tech is actually used).

It is an unknown architecture which means it could be barely faster than an RX480 to something that totally destroys a Pascal Titan.

Best to wait and see what turns up.:)

It's almost completely speculation just now, but they've shown it playing several games upwards of 60fps at 4k. I would say that gives us a rough area to work from.

Not really, it is like demonstrating Pascal and we don't know if NVidia are using a 1050 or a Titan X.

Best to just wait and see.:)

Do you think that big Vega would really be so close to a 1080? Where would that put small Vega?

They don't need another card with similar performance to a 290/390/480 and in their own promotional ve.ga video they basically called out Volta. It makes no sense for it to be big Vega in my opinion.

There is nothing to say they would be demoing a fullspec card, final clock speed or even for that matter optimised drivers. I've seen some rumours that the/a demo card even has GDDR5 (not X) on it and not HBM2 which muddies the waters a bit if there is any truth to it.
 
Facts that we know
Amd will be launching small and large vega some time in the future.
One of these cards will be faster then the other.

Speculation/hopes/dreams
Reference cooler will be quite and cool and not cause throttling.
Both vega's will sell for way cheaper then current 1070 prices yet be faster then the current titan.
Crossfire will work upto quadfire with 100% scaling in everygame
Hype train engaged



TLDR we know nothing really :p
I hope vega is a huge success and gives people a viable higher end option then the current 480x

In our dreams mate. In our dreams... it'll be a year or 2 before we have such cards (those performance at those prices) at this rate.

Well from recent rumors on the CPU front it looks like AMD are coming in with very good pricing with the Ryzen range....assuming retailers have got it right of course (and with approx 2 weeks to launch if those rumors are true (March 2nd/3rd) then I think it maybe close enough to be the real prices). What's not to say that they dont come in with good pricing on the Vega cards. We shall see soon enough. Hey if they come in with a card that can beat a Titan X pascal for £500 then that leaves me with £20 for a chinese take away with what I already got saved. Happy Days :D

If its in line with the CPU performance and pricing appearing to be quite aggressive competition then that'd be feasible. Also it could be release H1 but end up actually freely available 2018

I havent really seen any info, but it was mentioned as a 1080 level card. 480 already is doing work low end so that makes sense as an objective.

NDA on Ryzen is tight and harsh to 3rd party vendors but Vega has been pretty much on lock down. I expect them all to be Compiling their Game faces this month

I don't actually believe they are NDA leaks, i think its intentional to keep AMD and Zen in the news.

Intel appear to have shown their hand so AMD have no real reason to be on lock-down with Zen, someone is uploading these benchmarks, they must know they are searchable, i think its AMD and i think its deliberate.
They always have boost turned off so its always a glimpse and never the true performance...

ah yes, for AMD its ok . Vendors its a no no. As you said all bench marks being leaked out would be from their source not say ASUS showing off how well it performs on their produts etc.

but with Vega, I dont think they have the best option for early leaks as vendors could in theory produce a much better product . but could be wrong. I have learnt different parts of companies are really bad with communication between each other and you'd thought their code of practice is the same, but alas :(

Makes sense. A refreshed Polaris with lower power and higher clocks under a new series name would look good against it's gtx1060/1050ti counter parts and i think as Vega is a new architecture it deserves to come in with a fresh name. While the 4 series ain't bad it won't go down as one of AMD's best. A full refresh from top to bottom if done right is the best way for AMD to hit a home run.

What they need is a breather before Nvidia can get a response out the door, and I don't mean a single card like a 1080ti I mean a range of cards, At the moment we have the 480 doing well against the 1060, If they can replace it and the others in the 400 range with refresh cards that are 10 to 15 percent faster alongside the Vega cards they'll be able to get a big chunk of the sales if Nvidia haven't got a range of their own ready to release. I hope they haven't but knowing them they may have.

I doubt they will get that. We know Nvidia have a Pascal refresh so i think that will be released to compete.
