Vega 10 is meant to be around 12 Tflops and Vega 11 is 7
Still quite a gap though but AMD will have the edge on dx12 games.

WARNING WCCF!
AMD’s Vega 10 Flagship GPU Coming End of 2016 With New V9 Architecture, Vega 11 Due Early 2017 – “Magnum” Board Debuting In November

November!? I thought it was 2017 H1 - which I took to mean June/July. So that's all crystal clear then. Could they be any more vague and confusing?

Wccftech and Videocardz are both clickbait sites, both of them regularly contradict themselves and post very ambiguous stories with a lot of iff's and but's that are very indecisive thus giving them a get out at any point.
Basically ignore whatever you read on them, the only information your ever going to get about AMD products is official info from AMD themselves when they deem to release it.
There is not a single piece of hard info in this entire thread regarding AMD and Vega in all honesty and there will not be until anything official is released from AMD.
Fudzilla is saying October 2016 - I know, I know, I'm not even going to post the link to that.
But how can it be so ridiculously uncertain? It's either being released this month or in 8 months time. Although I suppose, technically, it could launch this year and yet there wouldn't be any actual cards until next year, maybe?

Yep paper launch. It could launch this month and easily not be buyable until January. Some people might say the 1080 although launched in May wasn't "buyable" for three months

Its rumour site, they post rumours as news, sort of a computer version of Perez Hilton. Might be actual news, might be nonsense, read at your own risk!
Because its rumours, nothing more. Once an official announcement is made we'll know until then its all gossip, speculation and hot air.

Hehe this month, ask your self this with what previous launch has there not been any leaks or subtle hints, teasing photos of an angled card or some other such nonsense, with only three weeks to go.
No it definitely will not be launching this month.
The way that AMD have teased and shown various bits of info about Polaris many times before it was released, If Vega is even half as good an improvement over Polaris then they will certainly be saying something, before release. They have an event scheduled for 14th-17th November supercomputing in Salt Lake city, maybe they will mentioned something there. I expect they will be launching the already talked about Radeon Pro WX series which is Polaris based, so unfortunately not likely to overshadow that with a Vega launch as well.
Of course I may be completely wrong and they may very well do something completely different to what they have done before and it arrive much sooner than most of us think.

+1 to this, you will know when Vega is soon to arrive as you will get weeks of subtle images and other such stuff coming out from even AMD themselves. Until then, play games and do other stuff

Normally they'll launch around this time - there's been a couple times there have literally been no leaks and the hammer dropped - like the 4870 launch; there were rumors but nothing really and then 5000 series launch and the secrecy of it was legendary.
Do I think they'll launch something in Oct? possibly - but we'll see could be November - we'll see.
Honestly Vega will be from the ground up as Polaris looks like it was born of what was created for PS4 Pro.....

+1 to this!
It's Friday, the missus is going to her mother's for the weekend, finished work in 15 minutes, let the games begin.

Yeah and some are still waiting for specific AIB cards.
Probably Paper Launch from AMD to get people buzzing and talking before Xmas...then cards available Q1 2017....hopefully.
Is anyone still waiting for Vega to drop? If so, I hope it is seriously quick and an overclockers dream
Yep...I am waiting. Not going to speculate that it will be better than card A or Card B, just hoping that RTG will produce a competitive card at a reasonable price.
Then watch Nvidia drop all of their prices and release the 1080Ti which will be a whisker away from Titan X Pascal for about $899 (I am obviously guessing the price here) like they did with the 980Ti.
We will then have all the Titan Pascal owners desperately making up stuff to justify their purchases but down deep will be having a whinge and a moan after being shafted by the company they so dearly love.
Go on tell me I'm wrong
Oh Greg....if it is seriously quick and an 'Overclockers Dream' I will bet you will get one

AMD seem to have a habit of missing prime release dates, I'd guess they will paper launch sometime in December and have some sort of reviews out and start shipping sometime in January, unless it's much later, like the start of summer. That would be disappointing but I'd rather they get it right.

Looking at the 480 vs 1060 prices and performance i think AMD will price its Vega cards at a similar price point at whatever Nvidia cards its competing against from now on. So i personally dont expect huge price changes this time but i'm happy to be wrong

Well, one of the Vega cards looks to be the RX480 replacement, so it should come in at a similar price, RX580 perhaps with 7tf and HBM2. Going from info that is highly suspect, though.
I agree the main reason I want to get back to AMD isn't for the poorer drivers and no ShadowPlay but for the Freesync, which is the main reason I support AMD for the fact that they always try and support open features and not locking users into propriety stuff.
Bah, I go with what works best for me and avoid politics in my game enjoyment.
