AMD VEGA confirmed for 2017 H1

[JediFragger]

It could be the 6144 shader Vega I suppose, with the 4000 shader part shown a couple of months back (which will beat the 1080 now drivers have matured)

 

[nashathedog]

Fake as it gets. They've gone from the extremely average 970-competitor Polaris to THIS on the same node? Leave off, they ain't magicians!!

While I do think it is fake I don't see why such an improvement would not be possible, Isn't a 680 on the same node as a 980ti?

True. I'm hoping it's true and the 6144 shader part tbh. Don't mind if it has 8GB of HBM2 as my res isn't quite as punishing as proper 4k

I'm ready and waiting to 'auction' my Ti the day before release

Same here, I've been waiting so long I just want to grab the fastest Vega as soon as possible. It would be nice if the May release is true, I pray they don't stagger the release with the fastest core coming last to maximise sales.

If it's on a par or nearly on a par with the Ti then I'm switching

I know it'll mature quite well

If its that fast Disney will be ringing AMD to ask if they can call it the Darth Vega. Also Gibbo being impressed was just a tad of an understatement


Vulkan is the direction for multiple threaded cpu though so if that guess release is correct and it is where Vega excels, its no bad thing going forward. Also AMD just has the cooler code words now, I'm calling it based on that.

My rig (or any game I play?) dont need a card that powerful or that expensive tbh, it'd resemble a Moped with a v8 at this rate

I just want a card to power 1440p. Unless AMD release a 4k card at affordable pricing really putting the cat amongst the pigeons and blowing the GPU market out the water!

Something like a 1080ti at £350 - £400.

 

[harney]

so is it Confirmed

far faster than titan xp
out in may
£400
and
called Darth Vega

I will buy 2 of them then

It is confirmed indeed although its going to hit the fan when the Nvidia 1080TiT finds out that Darth Vega is its father.

@AMDMatt Will an 850 PSU be enough to power an overclocked ryzan and two vegas?

 

[TNA]

haha it was you that came up with the TiT edition i just borrowed it for my art project

Yeah. I enjoyed seeing my creation being used so well

I can see this Hype train derailing quite bad and causing a major train wreck.

Is this real or fake or what?

Just the usual then.

 

[chilipeppersc]

Bah, i hope we are not disappointed... We really need a 4k card that chores with the Ti, not a card that competes with the 1080...​

Fresh off the Reddit leak.

Since when was a Titan XP nearly twice as fast as a 1080?

Last time I checked it was about ~30% faster on average.

It might have been more believable if they could at least get that part right

That leak is probably comparing to the next (unreleased) Titan Xp (where only the p is green) which is even faster than the new Titan Xp (all green letters) released after the 1080ti!

980Ti/1070 are pretty good for that already.

Well the Titan X (pascal) got over 100fps back when it launched, and averaging around mid 90's, before they put out their Vulcan patch, so I can see the new TXp doing close to what that graphs states.

It was also around ~30% faster than 1080 already, never mind the new TXp which is apparently 10% faster than TX as well.
