Come on no gaming GPU?
Is this AMDs titan type of GPU?

P100 competitor.

So which versions of VEGA were the gaming demos they showed

They didn't say at all!

It might have been that Frontier Version looking at the demo machines looking the same.

How would a 50% faster Fury X compare to the 1080 family?

Edit - ah not the gaming card

it would be 15-20% faster than a 1080, and like 15-20% slower than a Ti

I am assuming that HBCC will work with all DirectX 12 Titles.....

Why was anyone expecting a launch of a gaming GPU, that is reserved for Computex alongside the rest of the Threadripper details.

my guess is just a limited edition with 16GB instead of 8, and aircooled instead of AIO.

And, thanks to GloFlo, consuming 50% more power than a 1080Ti

So best guess is Vega for consumers is not out H1 unless you are self employed in CAD or something with a good excuse to buy one. Would they release both versions same time but just not talk about that till Computex, seems weird.
Seems like it's not going to be a cheap card if its that strongly related to industrial hardware, unless the variance is the 16gb turns into 4gb and its tons cheaper from that

So, in the past they demonstrated the HBCC effect with Deus Ex (restrict to 2GB and compare off vs on).

I was skeptical because Deus Ex was sponsored by AMD so I assumed they had modified the game engine to support HBCC.

Today, they did the same with Tomb Raider. I am now ready to believe that the HBCC works with no changes to the game (i.e. it can be done by AMD in their drivers/software).

Let's hope it's true...

The other way round. The consumer card, as far as we know, is still on track for H1. It's the professional cards that will be coming out at the beginning of H2.

I mean, if it wasn't true what would be the point in it?

Well the last AMD slides showed Vega 10 based card as <225W; and the MI25/Frontier Edition are listed as <300W.

Same amount as Intel's Tesla P100, yet the AMD card is 30% faster. So who knows until we get reviews.

The APUs are looking great though! +50% performance on CPU, +40% GPU, -50% Powerdraw.

Precisely my concern. All this new tech is nice and all, but if none of the games support it, then... there's no point!

Because as Raja said they want to engage the enthusiast market place, which means doing it in the correct environment with the correct press there. hence Computex being perfect.

That makes sense tbh so computex we should get Vega gaming cards announced and released dates.

Yup, everything thing still seems on track; especially after Dr. Su said during the Investor Q&A start of the month that they're shipping Vega Product"S" before end of Q2.

Also can we just remember again that their enterprise "Telsa" card will have 13 TFLOPS of Single Precision, if they stick to the norm, it means the enterprise is going to be clocked lower than the high-end gaming versions, and the gaming ones won't have 2x FP16 performance, or enterprise features/tech.
