AMD VEGA confirmed for 2017 H1

Not open for further replies.
so here is how it goes.
AMD sandbaging the crap out of Vega, and the one demoed with doom and battlefront is vega 11, with Vega 10 much more powerfull = AMD success
AMD showing their best, and the one demoed is Vega 10, puting a 1080 kind of performance cap for AMD Vega lineup, well that be = AMD failure
 
So been absorbed with ryzen for the past few months ... what will vega really bring to the table? what are we hoping for and what do we know? - is it just the competition again? hoping it will be a little faster then what we have? we saw the benches vs doom and the 1080s but we also know that the 1080ti is coming soon. So what are we hoping for here? ... What will amd give us?
 
I hope they show us some Dx11 performance this time, what the majority of games use (and will still be using for quite some time to come), as id rather see how it fares against the 1080 in that, not Vulkan, as thats not in many games, and we all know they get a massive boost in it, and its what they needed to run in Doom, to compete with the 1080.

I can't see it though, be Dx12 this time, another thing thats hardly used, and what they better at than Nvidia (at the moment, as Nvidia don't care about it yet). :p

I'm more keen on pushing dx12 and Vulkan faster tbh. Seems the more likely way we're going to get to 4k 60fps gaming in future.
Saying that, it's not really in AMDs hands, but the developers.

+1, as interesting as Doom was for a few days and as fun as it was to see 200+ fps in it, the DX11 world is just too big at the moment. I appreciate NVidia's strategy more, worry about it when it becomes mainstream, if it ever does. Until then, no point really.
 
Vulkan is the future, if that takes off it'll really take the cap off what cards can do so its no longer this nvidia vs amd approach but more open source and competitive to whoever has the best designs.
If its all about the engineer approach now from top down then I expect them to focus on building for that success. If you build it they will come

*the card demonstrated so far is the higher vega

Really hoping Vulkan takes over, or at least is an option in all games from now on.
DX12 is tied to win10 & not all of us want to have that OS, so Vulkan is giving us something great without OS restrictions.

Virtual/Augmented Reality could nudge the future in Vulkan's favour too.

If all VR devices use Vulkan in some form, all VR apps could work on all OS's (e.g. phones as well), so it'd be easier to design for the full gamut of hardware.

If Microsoft try to push DX12 for Windows-Holo (their AR windows) and some VR games, it'll create a disconnect between OS's and hardware that will likely be worse for everyone in the end.
 
Hopefully AMD Sandbags Vega like they have apparently done with Ryzen, would be hilarious if they caught Nvidia out, with more performance at cheaper, can you imagine AMD launching a TitanXP beating Card at £500.. *Drop the Mic* boom... that would cause all sorts of hiariousness

I can, I imagined it back in August when this thread was created, people were like nah it will be lucky if it beats 1070. lol
