BIG NEWS | VEGA LEAKS

[openthatchest]

Oh my god. If these leaks are real, i'm going to get one on these instantly. I saw this video and clicked on it, thinking that it would be about as powerful as the 1080.

 

I was wrong. If these leaks are true, we're going to have some damn powerful cards in the near future.

 

Amd has fired back.

 

Props to RedGamingTech for giving us the video.

This doesn't tell much

 

I've seen it before and nothin to conclude but that the VEGA might be a surprising good GPU.

 

I expect it to be close to the 1080 ti  but lot less costy $$$

Moved to Graphics Cards section. Does not meet the news section posting guidelines.

It says unlimited power draw at some point.

Yea AMD are good at hyping their product.

 

We'll see with the real performances.

Let's sing the "wait for real benchmarks song"!
It's like how you never trust gameplay videos on youtube and wait until the game is actually out to see what it's like.
Unless it's CoD. Everyone (maybe not everyone) knows what CoD is like because it's pretty consistent in what you get.

Close to 12.5 teraflops for AMD doesn't seems that impressive. IIRC the Fury X was 8.6 teraflops and it only matched the 980ti at 5.6 meaning this card will only match and sometimes loose to the 1080 leaving the 1080ti alone on a league of it's own.

 

Here is an article to the alleged leak

I believe amd said vega will have significantly increased ipc. Comparing Fiji tflops to vega tflops probably won't work

I'm betting it won't. We'll see.

You'd have to think it would have some. Otherwise why not just die shrink Fiji?

One thing that interests me and gives me a bit of salt as to whether or not this is the flagship GPU:

 

The Instinct Vega card has been said to have 12.5 TFLOPs. This thing has 4096 cores. Some quick math shows us that that means Vega would be clocked at around 1.525 ghz, which is pretty high considering how high Polaris clocks...

 

I'd be more inclined to say this is a cut down flagship GPU, with the full one featuring more like 4608 (double the 580/480), pegging clock speeds at a much more reasonable 1.35 ghz.

 

Just my thoughts.
