I bet they willI'd bet these will not show up until 2H 2018
No change of that imo. Seems like more an emotional conclusion than logical. If Vega cannot beat the 1080, I will eat my hat. LolI think Volta for gaming will be 1st quarter 2018. That seems to fit with nvidias release cycle. As with pascal,enterprise products first probably 4th quarter this year.
I really don't think AMDs Vega will outperform the 1080 or 1070 maybe match them for slightly cheaper price seeing as the nvidias have dropped a lot.
A sarcasm detector would be real useful.You do realise I was being sarcastic right?
See this is why I feel the need to use /s at times
http://www.skhynix.com/eng/pr/pressReleaseView.do?seq=2086&offset=1SK Hynix Inc. (or ‘the Company’, www.skhynix.com) today introduced the world’s fastest 2Znm 8Gb(Gigabit) GDDR6(Graphics DDR6) DRAM. The product operates with an I/O data rate of 16Gbps(Gigabits per second) per pin, which is the industry’s fastest. With a forthcoming high-end graphics card of 384-bit I/Os, this DRAM processes up to 768GB(Gigabytes) of graphics data per second. SK Hynix has been planning to mass produce the product for a client to release high-end graphics card by early 2018 equipped with high performance GDDR6 DRAMs.
So guys, how about a really believable news about Volta and not this made up story?

As AMD is using HBM i bet this 384Bit GPU is Nvidia next high end coming in early 2018, so 16 GBps with 384 to a nice 768 GB/s Bandwidth sounds already good.
Hard to detect your sarcasm it seems. No emojis. What he said could easily be seriousNo change of that imo. Seems like more an emotional conclusion than logical. If Vega cannot beat the 1080, I will eat my hat. Lol

Maybe Nvidia will launch flagship Volta Titan X with HBM2 memory in August 2017, exactly a year after Pascal Titan X launch back in 2016 then a month later in September would see Nvidia launch GTX 2070 and GTX 2080 with 256 bit GDDR6 Micron memory.
1080 was 25-35% quicker than 980ti no reason why 2080 won't repeat that

It seems to me that Nvidia really don't want to use HBM in their gaming cards,
I still think it's because of the way Nvidia's software overclocks the core on the fly and the HBM being on the same die is the problem.
I reckon that's why the Fiji cards are such poor overclockers and I'll be surprised if Vega is any better.
Maybe they'll have found a way around the issue with Vega or Navi and once they do (if they do) Nvidia can get one of AMD's cards and
nick the solution but for now they seem more interested in improved GDDR solutions.
I see what you're getting at but my Fury went up and down on the core no problem
I personally think it's more of a cost issue, and the fact that their modelling has probably worked out that any potential gain by using HBM isn't worth it...
Could be right. HBM might need more time to mature. I am happy we are finally seeeing GDDR6, at least we will have the option of either that or HBM2. Options are always good and GGDR6 will hopefully mean cards coming out making use of the extra bandwidth by design.You may be right, It's as plausable as my theory, maybe more so. I think that HBM does not like heat and does not handle large heat variations very well which is why The X has watercooling and all the Pro's have such big coolers on them, As for the Nano's, they avoid the problem by using carefully selected chips and reducing the power available to it. Nvidia's GPU boost pushes the clocks up and down a lot with temps following suit and that's what I think is HBM's Achilles heal.
It's only a layman's theory though.
