Yep. I hope so, me likeyAnd you just hit one exactly what HBCC is for! In two years time, instead of having to buy a new card with more VRAM, HBCC should help prolong the life span of your card with decent frame rates.

AMD VEGA confirmed for 2017 H1
- Thread starter Doom112
- Start date

My 1080 is a 4K card. It runs 99% of my steam library 4K maxed out with easy
Man the 1080 struggles to keep WoW at a decent frame rate at 1080p, never mind 4K.
I'm actually rather excited for Vega still, the 980Ti in my system was bought 03 June, 2015.
If the RX Vega is slightly slower than the 1080Ti in gaming it'll still be significantly better in everything else I need it for.
All that matters then it price for me; and I hope AMD is very competitive there; if so they have a buy from me.

lol. Yeah, my fps took at big dip on Prey after updating to the latest driver hotfix from nvidia and patch for Prey. Bloody Nvidia, I was keeping 60fps mostly before, now keeps dipping into the 50's all the time. I just uninstalled it, will play my 2nd playthrough in the future once more patches come out. Great game, enjoyed playing it 60fps on my 1080 4K card
We are similar, we just want AMD to get the price right and not milk us like Nvidia. Nvidia's shares have been soaring as they have been milking us hardcore. I am happy for AMD to milk their top end card like a Titan, just keep the card below which is 10-15% slower at a good price.
Well as you don't run 4K and not buying anything till Q4, at least you get to see what is what with releases and how each performs.
Around 69 at 4K ultra in that game when overclocked.

So 70fps but only when overclocked. 57.7 when stock so the Vega result looks good.
Yep
That said that game does look well optimised for AMD, did they not have 100% scaling in crossfire?
Laodsamoney do you like Sniper games?

It'll potentially depend on how much Vega overclocks too. But hey at least we can sort of expect it to be in the 1080ti ballpark now!

It's still all rather convoluted imo, but at least we'll know for sure within 2 weeks!!

Anyone want to sell me their 1080ti for £300 before Vega arrives?

Yes and No, The one thing we can be confident in is that AMD are showing us best case examples. Look at the examples we saw for the Fury X just before it released. Same with Ryzens gaming results.
So if it can get close to the 1080ti in titles that favour GCN it'll mean it's a 1080 competitor in everything else.
There's also a big question mark regarding overclocking because lately none of there products overclock by much.
IMO the pricing is a concern because it looks like they're overcompensating with the smoke and mirrors look.
It would be good for them but not for AMD - AMD needs to be making money not just to make a profit from where they are up to now but also to invest in ongoing R&D which is getting increasingly expensive - 10nm design cost is something like 4x 28nm and 7nm is projected to be a whopping 9x 28nm. They need to be hitting the ground running against nVidia's 10x0 replacements not those cards themselves or bring something completely new and paradigm shifting to the market.

I know that but it did (briefly) show a 10-20% increase in stock 1080Ti fps so hopefully with a normal game it will be similar/potentially a little better.
If they get the pricing right, and have good availability it'll be a winner.
I doubt Vega will be nearly 30% slower than the 1080Ti in games on average, while somehow matching it in other games.
That's the difference between the Ti and 1080.
That gap seems far far too large of a variance depending on games for Vega.

Fingers crossed but it's getting to be a bit long in the tooth what with AMD now saying wait a bit longer for the gaming cards ie: Q3
You've lost me
