As many of you know, Vega is now promised to be released on June 27th. As I was waiting for Vega for my upcoming build, I have a question. IS AMD just releasing their flagship Vega or every one of them? Because if not, I might need to go with the green team

All we're getting June 27th is the Frontier Edition, which is gonna cost a lot more and is for professionals. Rx Vega isn't coming until siggraph (end of June early August)

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.

in your opinion, should I wait for them or just get a 1070?

Just get a 1070. I don't recommend anyone to wait for vega unless they have a freesync monitor. At best, you'd be getting 1070 performance for $50 less, and I could easily justify paying $50 for getting the thing two months earlier. That's not to mention, we don't even know if it would be any better perf/$. Vega isn't a new gen of GPUs, it's just AMD's Pascal competitor.

I gave up on waiting last week, will be interesting to see how things land, but for better or worse I have a 1080Ti now that after cashback I will have paid less then the rumored price the high end consumer level card (which is rumored at $600 USD) so even if it comes close to 1080Ti performance i'll still be good either way. Keep an eye out for sales on 1070's and you'll be better off.
