Well there's Polaris which will be launching soon, but those aren't high end....

Vega is the real high end, which will be q4 2016/q1 2017

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

 They aren't gonna wait that long, and they can't. 

No, that's exactly what's happening. AMD doesn't have anything to put up against the 1070 or 1080. So they are sticking to the RX480 and below. Until Vega.

If anyone asks you never saw me.

Why? Didn't they have a plan?

Yeah, stay the fuck out of Nvidia's way xD 

 

But in all seriousness AMD is in a better position than Nvidia by NOT going with a higher cost option. Having a 200 dollar solution is WAY better than telling people it takes 400 bucks just for a graphics card to game. By staying low AMD could take a majority market share away from Nvidia.

If anyone asks you never saw me.

We don't know any of this yet. I still believe that then AMD say they are targeting the mainstream they are referring to the 480 and 490. I believe that Vega will be a new Fury, whatever they are intending to call it and will be high end or enthusiast class. I really hope that the 480 isn't the best they have to offer in the next year.
