Same. Only have one guy on it. I dont want an echo chamber and can be an adult about most toxic behaviour.

AMD is planning to unveil it’s RX 500 series in April.

Yeah, that would be a surprise unless its a paper launch for them turning up a month or so later.

It's just re-branded Polaris GPU's with faster speeds.

Fair point on the respin, think Vega will use the 590 or some kind of vega/vega x naming scheme then?

This is what I expect, with larger GPUs to follow.

I think Vega is going to be big. I'm expecting near 1080ti performance or more for $450-$500.

On top of that Ryzen looks to be an incredible achievement and I'm really looking forward to an all AMD system (but will probs wait for Ryzen+).

NO. If you watched the video yesterday the name is Radeon RX Vega. Not 590,690 or anything else but RX Vega

Is this a bit like when Nvidia moved from 8800gt to 9800gt and it was just the same

How many do you have on your ignore list if you don't mind me asking?

Just the serial offenders. Let’s see, there are nine, although apparently two of them are permabanned. So seven, I guess and a few of them are going back years. Makes life so much more pleasant and informative so you’re not wasting time reading nonsense. Once you weed out the drivel some of the info on this site is gold.

So the important bit (if true) is product launch on April 4th, that is where we get an indication of Vega's performance vs. 1080Ti given the latter will have been reviewed and bench marked by then.

This was reported by Guru3D as well: http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/amd-rx-500-series-launch-april-4th-with-three-rebrands.html

I'd take guru3d info over wccftech though....

Should have dropped a digit on rebrands. RX 480 into RX 570 and so on.
There is a gap even now between 480 and Fury, it is going to get bigger with Vega.

The new improved clock 480 should be called 570, then small Vega going into 580 and 590 slots. With big Vega being called Vega and Vega X.

But I get the feeling they want to name small and big vega's Vega. Which could be silly I think. But let's wait and see.

ok so they are predicting (not confirming) a rehash of polaris around April and a Vega release around June.... in other words no news on any of the important topics.

That's just about the strength of it but I'm sure it got the sites daily click target for them.
