so reading through the thread, it doesn't look like i missed much, apart from the HBCC being Dx12 only ?

Depends on what you mean by missed much, if you have more of an interest in technology and how the companies behind them work, rather than just playing games then yes you missed some stuff. :)

Looks like the top Watercooled one could be another Dual GPU solution. It looks very similar to the Fiji Radeon Pro Duo.
The entire shroud reminds me of the Intel Xeon Phi.

It looks just like a Fury X to me and that was a single gpu solution.

Same here.

All we can do is wait and see, It's disappointing if true though.

I get the feeling this might actually be a last minute change of plan with AMD needing to get these work cards out as soon as possible because of the V100 announcement.

Given the massive global event that is Computex (for the PC world), and the fact that pretty much every single decent/well watched reviewer from Youtube, or website has been dragged there, then they ought to be launching something other than Threadripper, since they already did that yesterday, albeit missing the finer details.
 
Yeah, if they use this as their excuse so that Vega is technically launched in H1, with the gaming line coming later on in the year; this is abit of a cop out, and will annoy a lot of people.

It would also mean that, IMO, people will just give up waiting (a lot already have) and go Nvidia.
 
could have learnt from Nvidia 1080/70 about releasing a card that doesn't have enough quantities to meet demand. always good to have more demand then supply but 1080 was a joke. least giving yourself an extra week and pushing first week of Q3 gets more cards into resellers hands, specially if all this 16k cards rumor is true

I am annoyed at the technical launch.
But having waited so long, will wait couple months more. At least performance wise it seems they are hitting their targets. Even if HBM2 is not quite there yet.

Thats why AMD is NOT releasing gaming cards yet. They will only have enough supply to cover this professional range it seems.

Blooming heck, it's like reading a Daily Mail article sometimes, well most of the time on here.

Come back here on 31st May, then you can feel better.

from this, im expecting the RX version to be a full Chip 8GB model and 8GB cut down chip that didn't quite make it. cant see 3 RX Vega models , rather have two and be able to buy them in the shops and not have to wait 4 months for a Strix 1080 or EVGA FTW Ti hehe.
Expecting Volta to be pushed to the end of the year in some form - Gaming wise
 
See the one thing AMD kept banging on about yesterday was trying to come to market with solutions to problems rather than just meeting their competition square on.

For this reason maybe 4k is what they are aiming for with Vega as they seem to think that currently there isn't really a 4k card in the market. (I'm sure the 1080ti lot have something to say about that)
 
Sorry this a bit off topic but the thought of thread ripper got me thinking. What is the chance of AMD releasing a fast, Intel beating IPC GHz CPU? something for gaming and single thread performance.
