AMD Names Radeon "Vega" Product Line as Simply Radeon RX Vega
AMD's hottest announcement from its Capsaicin & Cream event is the brand unveil for consumer graphics products based on the "Vega" architecture. The lineup will be called simply Radeon RX Vega (likely with brand extensions to denote tiers and model numbers). The company also unveiled the "V" (for Vega) logo we've seen from CEO Lisa Su's presser from last week. The product unveil video illustrates how "Vega" will span across the consumer-graphics, pro-graphics, and Radeon Instinct data-center GPU lines.

And if so, what would you say, "oh, wait for me for the same performance, maybe I'll drop price by 50$ or so"? :)
Counter question: having in mind that consumer Volta is unlikely in 2017, why would Huang drop price so drastically?
hit the tube to see it. I never really like press events unless I'm there as speakers are generally too boring and i lose interest real fast, so i rather watch someone else's summary. I do think AMD have the ball in their court now that the 1080ti is now officially spec'd. I look forward to more revealing info from now one. I love nvi/amd but i need competition at least like how ryzen is bringing it.
It got pushed hard by HTC, Valve and others, and so far only the cheap-ass PSVR is doing 'relatively' well. But then again so did PS2's Eye Toy until it took a nosedive...
They should sell Vega as a 4K-120hz killer GPU, not this VR optimized junk. We know by now that good FPS in VR can be done with tricks, and aren't a result of massive amounts of GPU power per se.
Because, clearly the market was desperate for a $200 card to pair with a $800 headset.
