i hope Vega is sortof affordable, if it is i may have a full AMD rig when i upgrade lol, Ryzen 5 1600x and some RX Vega GPU :P 

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Hopefully they don't try and pull the "overclockers dream" like they did with the Fury X. Look how that turned out. xD 

 

 

Our Grace. The Feathered One. He shows us the way. His bob is majestic and shows us the path. Follow unto his guidance and His example. He knows the one true path. Our Saviour. Our Grace. Our Father Birb has taught us with His humble heart and gentle wing the way of the bob. Let us show Him our reverence and follow in His example. The True Path of the Feathered One. ~ Dimboble-dubabob III

Well they did manage to get a Day 1 driver out for Ghost Recon Wildlands, before even NVIDIA; despite it being a The Way It's Meant To Be Played title.

Honestly I just want to know exactly what it brings in the next couple of week to compete with the ti.

This could be small Vega. 

 

#JustSayin

Vega is still GCN at heart and GCN is limited to 64 CU's.

I honestly hate FineWine Technology. It'd be better to just have those optimizations at the beginning like Nvidia than slowly roll them out over time.

Yes, releasing a card at less than its full potential only to bring it up later must surely cost them a lot of sales during every launch.  Lets hope they can do better this time :D

With all the new processors out in the last few months, and the ti now out. I think they could miss the boat on many people upgrading now.

Maybe.  But I think a lot of people have been holding out specifically for Vega, and didn't get a 1080 or 1080 ti, even if it would have had the performance level they want.

Well thats where i'm at. Ready to upgrade my entire rig, and was hoping for vega to drop @ gdc only to find out that the 1080ti will reck.

Im waiting to swap out my 1080 for the 1080 ti until we have aftermarket options. Only way I would buy Vega is if it offered compelling performance to the TI for lower cost, if not, then TI it is. Might give a good upgrade for those wanting to jump from 1080p to 1440p or 4k who haven't already bought or won't be buying a 1080/1080 ti by coming in at like $400 for the same performance as the 1080.

 

Still we should rejoice if AMD can finally bring a card that has value at the enthusiast level. These balls been blue for 10 years, and by balls I mean CPU's :D

I would rather agree on what we share, than fight on what we don't. - Myself

A while ago I made some predictions based on info we had at the time, that suggested that Vega would be (after driver optimization and all that) 95% as good as an OCed 1080 in non-Vulkan games and ~20% better than an OCed 1080 in Vulkan games.  I just some more calculations comparing RX 480 to GTX 1060, and extrapolating and, if they're true, Vega should be a force to be reckoned with - definitely better than a 1080 and possibly matching or (when overclocked) beating a stock 1080 ti 

 

Please keep in mind this is very rough and we don't want to start another unstoppable hype train, since those always get derailed with disastrous consequences xD

I recall Raja saying once that AMD wanted to improve their launch drivers in the future, so that could be something we might see in the future.

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

@TechGod are you just laughing at my last comment or do you think I'm way off in my predictions? :P

Ehm.. there is low end Vega. They are supposed to be releasing a RX 580 at near 1080 level performance. We don't know what the 590/590x or ect will be. *yawn*

RX 580 is a rebrand RX 480 with a bit extra approaching 1070 performance.

Dude, its awesome!  Like kicking homeless people, pointing and laughing at the mentally ill, or letting tradesmen know they're sub-humans for not being doctors/lawyers.  Being overtly and unreasonably critical is the only way to really live.
