VEGA IS FINALLY HERE, ITS IN STOCK ALONG WITH SOME EPIC BUNDLES & FREESYNC DEALS!!

Rumor: AMD Matisse, Picasso, Vega 20 and Ryzen 5 PRO Mobile

AMD Vega 20
Last but not least, Vega 20. This is a refresh (likely on 12nm LP fabrication process) of Vega 10. According to the ‘leaked’ roadmap, this GPU would launch somewhere in the third quarter of 2018. The slide lists PCIe Gen 4 which was also present in the slides we leaked some time ago.

Gigabyte says no to custom Radeon RX Vega 64

According to Tom’s Hardware, Gigabyte has no plans for custom Radeon RX Vega 64. The company, however, does not rule out the possibility of custom RX Vega 56.

Since the introduction of AORUS brand Gigabyte has been slowly replacing all high-end models with better looking (and more expensive variants). Despite the fact that RX Vega architecture was released weeks ago, there seems to be no choice in custom variants whatsoever.

Earlier reports suggested that AMD has difficulty providing Vega chips to partners, which as a result is causing a delay for mass production and final evaluation of custom boards.

So far only ASUS has shown its custom STRIX Vega 64, which was already tested by reviewers. The competition believes that ASUS card was just a PR stunt with questionable value as it provides minimal improvements over the reference design.

Gigabyte and MSI are now focusing on upcoming GeForce GTX 1070 Ti graphics cards, which is expected late October.

Bit of an odd thing to do, even if they just improved the cooler it could be put on either card, not as if they have to do a new pcb for them.

Not really odd.

I can see why they might want to run with vega56. It's comparable to a 1070 and doesn't need a nuclear power station to run it and an iceberg to cool it.

Vega 64 on the other hand does... and barely reaches 1080fe base performance in the process. Out of the two I'd take Vega 56. It's a no brainer!
 
Custom RX Vega graphics cards coming in late October

From most, if not all partners

Despite earlier worrisome rumors that some partners might not be working on custom Radeon RX Vega graphics cards, it appears that most, if not all partners will be launching their custom RX Vega versions in late October/early November.

Due to the fact that custom versions are most definitely late, mostly due to the supply/demand issues, it does not come as a surprise that we have seen rumors that some partners have simply given up on those and will rather focus on the upcoming Geforce GTX 1070 Ti graphics card from Nvidia.

Thankfully, it appears that those rumors, originally coming from Tomshardware.de, are not true and according to reports around the net, both Gigabyte and MSI will probably come up with fully-custom versions of the RX Vega 64 and RX Vega 56, which could launch in late October.

According to Hardware.info, Gigabyte will be preparing quite a few custom versions that should be arriving in week 42/43, which puts it somewhere between October 16th and October 29th.

Currently, only Asus has launched its custom Strix RX Vega 64 graphics card but this might be a marketing move with a few samples for reviewers, as you simply can't find it listed anywhere.

According to what we heard, Sapphire, XFX, Powercolor and other partners are working on their versions and Sapphire's Nitro could be coming soon. As we wrote earlier, AIB partners generally need eight to ten weeks from the chip order to launching a custom version to the market and if you can't get your hands on enough chips, there is no way to make it.

Hopefully, custom RX Vega graphics cards will not be further delayed as Nvidia will certainly put a lot of pressure on them with the upcoming Geforce GTX 1070 Ti.

Gigabyte Radeon RX Vega 64 GAMING OC pictured

Gigabyte Radeon RX Vega 64 GAMING OC
Contrary to previous reports (which by the way were true, but Gigabyte changed their story after they received a new batch of Vega chips) the company is indeed making a custom Radeon RX Vega 64.

The rumors were that only RX Vega 56 would be made in GAMING OC variant, but the card you see below is in fact RX Vega 64. The card is dual-fan design (probably a new variant of Windorce 2X cooler). The picture does not tell us if the card has DVI port, but it doesn’t seem to be the case.

If you look closely enough, you will notice that the PCB is not the same width as the cooler, so there is a possibility that this card is based on a reference board.

$7000. Bargain.

Be interesting to hear from those working with compute-heavy workloads as to whether the 2TB SSG storage is of any great benefit. I wonder if they’re of any use in the field of big data.
