ok you havent a clue then, thank you.

Right - Vega needs to come along before the end of June. My wife has booked an engineer to fit a Smart Electric Meter on 28/06/2017 (you know, the ones that tell you how much electric you're using in real time). That means the twin 290's need to go and be replaced by a single GPU by then or I'll be in real trouble when she finds out how much the PC actually draws under heavy load, so come on AMD - get working on releasing Vega so I can choose between it and Pascal. :D

So its over 500w wow :D Just argue its bespoke AI fan heater, buy a clothes horse and dry the towels behind the computer fan outlet extra fast, a tumble dryer is thousands of watts to run. I see no problem.

Ideally we want the pre sales done not after election as that event could be pivotal for Sterling. Much as I'd hope that it'd pivot upwards, its often just repeated weakness on any major news. I think it'll be years for positives to force it upwards, not enough pro sterling speculators to do it prematurely


If stock is short or even delayed some I'm thinking its a good idea to get good cooling in order as people may not then have available the ideal brand or onboard fan setup. Since modern cards automatically boost off good temperature having the best fan setup beforehand is probably good preparation. Also tHBCC could also appreciate fast ram, fast SSD for any large texture space its hauling.

Leaving no product between the RX580 at $250 and RX Vega Super at $500 ? Seems unlikely. I think AMD will have to knock another $100 off those prices.

Whatever they release H1 wont be even close to the last word this year. Soon after or maybe even at the same time? they'll release a lower Vega. I think thats firmly established, they'll have some 1070 type second fiddle on the same vega variation.
Q4 '17 is a cpu with Vega allegedly

Hello, I am here to bring you some important information about Vega. Yes I know many people here have been waiting patiently for some substantial information about Vega from AMD. Well I am happy to say your wait has finally come to an end.

Today I will reveal the full Vega lineup and release date! I will include spoilers so Google does not pick up on important parts.

The RX Vega lineup will come in 3 flavors to cater for different price points. The stated aim is to contend directly against the GTX 10 series.

Spoiler.

RX Vega "Super" - RRP: $499.99 (1080 PERF or better).

RX Vega "Hyper" - RRP: $599.99 (1080TI PERF or better).")

Please note: The RX Vega subnames were still being decided on by the board room at the time so are subject to change but those were the most popular ones amongst the engineers along with "Core" "Eclipse" & "Nova".

And now for the grand finally... DATES!

(/s"The Vega teaser is May 16.

The full Vega reveal is May 30 - June 3.

The official release of Vega is June 5")

P.S Do not ask me for my source. If I told you my friend would lose his job. Let's just say it is rather "Sunny" where he works... ;)

P.S.S Let the downvotes begin. I am expect that I will be flamed for revealing this info despite being from a legit source. If you don't believe me feel free to come back to this post in 3 weeks.

AMD Reddit one of the reason why AMD share tanks and people do not buy there GPU. There are idiots in majority on reddit ,which will believe anything positive post about AMD by a unknown random guy.
 
radeonrebel has come up in some leak videos before. I cant remember if they were proving his information legit or rubbish. I'm sure one had something to do with a leaked benchmark for vega a while back. I will see if i can find it.
 
lol @ that reddit. The information in the OP is changing by the minute. We now have a 3rd Vega sku @ $399 and they are no longer called "Super" and "Hyper" but "Core", "Eclipse" and "Nova"
 
RX Vega "Core" - RRP: $399.99 (1070 perf or better)

RX Vega "Eclipse" - RRP: $499.99 (1080 perf or better)

RX Vega "Nova" - RRP: $599.99 (1080TI perf or better)

That's not what's going on at all. The RX460 was missing the same Mimic shadow the 1060 was. None of this seems to be 'the difference' in performance here. It's just an odd, occasional missing shadow.

Crazy how fast people jump to conclusions.

Bro wtf? I was asking a question did you not see the multiple question marks on my post? I was not making a accusation i was asking if nvidia had done this as i was not actually sure. Only accusation in that post was "Cheeky" As in if true that's cheeky. Crazy how fast some jump to conclusions ehh ;)

Yer, it is close to the limit but not quite there. Must be something else amiss and hopefully sorted soon. Nobody wants to have downgraded settings if they have the grunt to run it.

I just find it frustrating that this seems to keep happening on nvidia hardware in various titles. Bug or not it just shouldn't happen again once it has been identified yet it seems to creep up again and again. It makes benchmark results unreliable but the average consumer do not know this and will pick whatever shows the highest result because research is apparently to difficult. One time can be said to be a random mistake but after that it starts to become more and more suspicious.
 
$499 for 1080 performance a year after the 1080 launch? They are having a laugh aren't they?

Also, 1080->1080Ti performance is about 30% so a $100 difference sounds unlikely. Why would you bother buying the "eclipse"? Nvidia dropped the rrp of the 1080 to $499 to leave a $200 dollar gap between them.

If AMD are going to release a 1080 performing card over a year after the 1080 came out, it is going to need to be more like $399 to get any market traction. I can't see how pricing it the same is going to do them any favours.

If you've been following the other thread AMD are done GPU wise if this is their strategy - by the time these cards come to market nVidia will be able to drop significantly faster cards not hugely long after - leaving AMD not making much money at all.

Would you please provide a link to some footage because I would genuinely like to see it. However according to what you are saying all it does is discredit the rx 460's performance numbers as well. If you are showing 2 cards side by side and one is showing less detail rendered then that benchmark run is faulty are should be pulled and the result could certainly not be used and compared to the result of the competing product. Doesn't matter if it is red or green as the same logic applies to that RX460 you mention if its true.

I'm sure amd have used the name core edition before, can't remember what though

Now I remember it was XFX cards not amd

1- the naming is too complex, i don't think AMD would do this mistake, it's easier to identify a product with numbers, or extra letters.
2- AMD cannot have almost a 200$ gap between 480 and lowest vega, the 300-350$ is a volume segment, much more than 400$, lowest vega have to be as close as possible to 300$ not at 400$.
3- i do not think there will be a Ti competitor, there is very little chance that AMD is making 2 different sized chips, because that's the only way they can cover these 3 segments with over 50% performance difference top to bottom.
 
That pricing is abysmal. If that's true it's either a high end RX580 or a Fury/Nano again for me.

£400 for 1070 performance? Sod well off. :p
 
This is the problem with AMD,look at Nvidia releasing just enough details about Volta to make people start salivating about gaming cards which might or might not be released this year.

OTH,AMD seems to not be able to generate enough interest for its own launches - its really getting silly now.Its not like any more info is going to actually affect them.

Maybe what they have is nothing special (1080 at best) and makes sense to say nothing.
