Entire AMD Vega Lineup Reportedly Leaked - Available on June 5th?

[P4-630]

Triple A Games upcoming and the ability to mod with ever increasing size of Add on's>>> ie Texture packs and extra DLC
will make your Current 6/8/12 gig Card Struggle
So yes for the dedicated Gamer it will EVENTUALY be needed or desired

Is everyone gaming at 4K tomorrow?

I don't think I'll fill up all my 8GB so soon @1440p.

 

[ratirt]

I'm getting one then. Been waiting for the Vega card so damn long. New card and new monitor for me this year I suppose Great new gear is always welcome

EDIT: As a matter of fact I wanna go with 4k. But that depends on the Vega performance

 

[nemesis.ie]

I haven't heard anything from AMD other than the Computex press event invite.

No Vega NDA, no info, nothing on reviews.

Maybe they will do it like the Ryzen launch and present attendees with their "review box" during the event at the show?

FreeSync2 might be worth waiting for, I wonder will we see some FS2 monitors soon?

Do we know when Freesync2 is going to be on the market? It's been so long waiting for Vega and now if i have to wait for monitor with freesync2 I'm just gonna die.

i don't even know if i need such power yet, i tried with a 480 but had problems, might get a 1060 soon, but new cards would probably make 1060 cheaper, so...

Same here, i got myself a GTX 1070 but had driver problems, card just wont recognize my 120hz HD TV (stuck at 60 hz which my HD 7970 had zero issues) , had to return it back. Now i am waiting for Vega

I don't expect it to be even close to 150 Watts, for sure not less in power draw than a GTX1070 knowing AMD's current available cards....

You do understand that VEGA is in most aspects nothing like any of AMDs former GPUs right? Im not saying that it will draw less but to use your argument is not a valid argument. Like saying; VW's new electric car will polute more than their former cars which runs on gazoline.

Why does it always have to be cars when comparing PC hardware? And how would making a guess based on AMD's past GPUs be comparable to an electric car engine versus a gas engine?

 

[RejZoR]

Because it's analogy most familiar to all users. Though it has to be a correct one to begin with...

No need AMD Marketing dept will take care of all of that for you ;-) Must still be sour from BTA.

VEGA is still an evolution of GCN, which has proved time and time again that it is thirsty.

AMD's past HBM card was a power hungry monster until it was tamed for the nano.

So far, history is not on your side.

I would be curious if this is part of the reason to cut down to 2048bit on the hbm2.

Please show me a single 1070 that's overclocked to match a stock 1080. The 970 can be overclocked to match a 980, but it's common knowledge that the 1080 is leagues above the 1070. Overclocking it closes the gap, but it's still behind by a calculated amount.

Bad example there is one brands 1060 that overclocked to 3ghz and beats a 1080

Actually, first generation of GCN beat Kepler in power efficiency. The Cape Verde and Pitcairn chips were leading the efficiency charts from 2012 to 2014 when Maxwell 1.0 came along. I'm pretty sure Polaris could be much closer to Pascal in efficiency if AMD hadn't pushed the clocks (and voltage) to the limit.

I'm also sure a Vega Nano with sub 170W and 1070+ performance is possible, but don't expect it at $399 but much more. Why? Because the Vega Nano lineup will probably have the best binned chips to have great performance at low power consumption - same story as with Fury Nano. This also makes this reddit "leak" extremely questionable. I call it fake.

I hope you're joking, because if you believe this it would be really sad.
Polaris is hardly more efficient than Fiji, even with a node shrink. Nvidia were the ones pushing the clocks, if they used comparable clocks, Pascal would be twice as efficient.

In contrast to you, I actually own a Polaris card and know what is capable off.

I had two the word efficient didn't come to mind when describing them, the 95w TDP models sold only to embedded sure those were great, the 150w cards consumers saw? NO.

That's equally as stupid as saying Pascal is just using an evolution of CUDA cores from Fermi...

 

[Estaric]

Depending on performance i might sell my R9 Fury's and get eclipse or even Nova depending on reviews. Feel like my 4gb of vram is really holding me back

 

[medi01]

since we know that the GTX 1070's performance can easily be overclocked to reach a stock 1080

Huh?!?!?

 

[cdawall]

Not quite the same. Like at all.

 

[medi01]

Bullshit.
Fury X consumed more than 980Ti, but that's it.

The only monster power consumer AMD ever produced was 295, which was a dual card.

guys, did you go wccftech with this rumor?

I think Wccf came to TPU with this *alleged rumor.

*with today's politics & politicians it's always nice to hedge your bets i.e. never give a straight yes or no
