Computex 2017 thread

Seriously worrying news if AMD have to release a dual Vega card first: poor volume and poor performance spring to mind.

Plus looks like I was right, if dual Vega is not announced until July 30th then mainstream Vega cards to buy in the shops won't be out until August to September.

There's no indication it's a dual GPU card, Lisa Su just said two GPUs. We have no way of knowing until July.
 
I always thought there was the higher and lower Vega release and its going to be released together possibly or announced at similar times. Could be that matches the idea of only 4gb vram on the lower one but both having HBCC

Usual rubbish from WCCFTECH, there has been no indication that there is a dual Vega card at all. They just decided to run it on a Crossfire setup for some reason.

It was my bad for misreading. Up early and lack of coffe to blame :(

Fair enough, still strange to be using a crossfire setup. They did the same with Polaris and tried to sell the idea of 2xRX480 vs 1x1080.
ANd it still gives the impression that you will need to cards for 4K gaming which is not good. Hopefully its just terrible AMD marketing again.

Yeah, it's very strange. As I said in the other thread, we've already seen Doom and Sniper Elite 4 doing 4k@60fps on a single Vega GPU; Prey isn't any more demanding than either of those. I honestly can't see what they were trying to achieve or what this means.
 
I know what it means, the focus was not Vega which isnt close. The focus is the 16 core CPU and its Pci-e lanes hence two cards. To us we're screaming Vega zomg and inside the head of AMD its about demonstrating the breadth of their very cutting edge CPU. Is that CPU imminent release, might make sense then or maybe its about the motherboard makers showing this is the class our systems will be in, top tier bandwidth.

The lecture seemed to be business orientated to me, just making partners comfortable this is our game plan and you are good to plan releases with us, etc


Before Vega comes they'll have time to correct the 'mistake' and show actual performance. Meanwhile peoples trigger reaction is to run for the nearest 1080ti because vega cant be any good, so yea its not the greatest way to sell the product. Just get the impression they dont even want consumers watching these things and to them maybe, the majority arent
