It seemed Vega are still in very early prototype stage now. Next month November at Supercomputing 2016, RTG will show off a sneak preview of very early Dracrays Vega 10 prototype with 1TB SSD that will cost $10,000 when it will launch in 2H 2017 for professional market, much later than 1H 2017.

If RTG pushed back Vega to 2H 2017 then it would be too late when Nvidia will launch Volta months later in early 2018.

So because a prototype professional part is 2h next year then that means Vega is late. Nothing in this article says Vega is late.

I'm still saying Computex 2017. Can they afford to be any later than that??

Doesn't matter to me anyhow, I'll be waiting for Volta as I'm tied into Gsync now (was a long time ATi/AMD customer)

Nah you could probably sell your Gsync monitor and buy the Adaptive sync equivalent without losing money along with saving on the Amd Gpu as no doubt Volta will cost shed loads. You would probably walk away with a small profit from the switch :D:D:D
 
Here's a wild thought, maybe AMD's roadmap is accurate? Perhaps all the unsubstantiated rumours are just that, rumours! It's a wild concept, I know.

Look like next gen Vega GPUs will probably have 3 versions with DDR4, GDDR5 and HBM but Vega 1024 GCN core with 128GB HBM memory bandwidth do not sounded very impressed to me, it made very little different to GTX 1050 128 bit 112.5GB GDDR5 memory bandwidth. Vega with 1024 GCN core GPU performance exceed PS4's 1152 Pitcairn GCN cores at 1.84 TFLOPs. It probably will be around RX 460 performance but nothing exciting, Vega with 4096 GCN cores would have about 8 TFLOPs that would bring it to compete with GTX 1070.
 
The holy grail of APU performance at the moment is 1080p mid-high details in modern games, if they reach that in a platform where a CPU swap and GPU upgrade is an option later it could be very compelling.
 
AMD already said Vega is launching firstly for the high end enthusiast gamers. That product will come before the APU and before the profesional SSG parts.
 
Just a big Polaris with HBM2 wouldn't be enough.

Let's hope Vega truly is an upgraded arch and not just another minor revision. And/or that it can clock at least above 1400 MHz.
 
Just a 1080 beater for £429 pounds, That would sell shed loads of cards and gain some market share, and in the process give Nvidia a kick up there gready arses.
