AMD GPU Linux driver patches is listing seven Vega 10 IDs
100 Linux patches amounting to over fourty thousand lines of code was sent out today for review in order to provide "Vega 10" support within the Linux AMDGPU DRM driver.
Adding Vega support to AMDGPU is a big task due to all of the changes over Polaris and other recent GPUs reports Phoronix.
Vega rolls out a new video BIOS interface, lots of new hardware intellectual property, support for video decode using UVD (UVD 7.0), support for video encode using VCE (VCE 4.0), support for 3D via RadeonSI, power management, full display support using DC, and support for SR-IOV virtualization. This 40k+ lines of code is on top of the tens of thousands of lines of code needed for DC/DAL. AMDGPU Vega's display support is built on top of DC and thus that will need to land in order to allow this new hardware support to happen. Also seven Polaris 12 IDs were also included, but there is still no entry of Vega 11. Vega 10 device support:
{0x1002, 0x6860, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, CHIP_VEGA10},
{0x1002, 0x6861, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, CHIP_VEGA10},
{0x1002, 0x6862, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, CHIP_VEGA10},
{0x1002, 0x6863, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, CHIP_VEGA10},
{0x1002, 0x6867, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, CHIP_VEGA10},
{0x1002, 0x686c, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, CHIP_VEGA10},
{0x1002, 0x687f, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, CHIP_VEGA10},
Polaris 12 device support:
{0x1002, 0x6980, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, CHIP_POLARIS12},
{0x1002, 0x6981, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, CHIP_POLARIS12},
{0x1002, 0x6985, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, CHIP_POLARIS12},
{0x1002, 0x6986, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, CHIP_POLARIS12},
{0x1002, 0x6987, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, CHIP_POLARIS12},
{0x1002, 0x6995, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, CHIP_POLARIS12},
{0x1002, 0x699F, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, CHIP_POLARIS12},
Seven device PCI IDs are currently listed for Vega. AMD is currently rumored to be launching AMD Radeon RX Vega in late May. The 100 patches up for review can be found on amd-gfx. I'm still digging through the patches and will update if I find any other interesting remarks. The next opportunity to merge this code will be Linux 4.12, assuming its review goes well and AMDGPU DC gets accepted to mainline.

If they had achieved a breakthrough and got the MHz up. It shouldn't be architecturally such a behemoth that it would beat the 1080Ti if it's running really slowly, especially with the custom 1080Tis being factory OCed. Fury-X vs 980Ti taught us as much.

just in some chosen case... that's maybe because the last of them were sold around 250Euro on sale (btw it was less expensive than the 390X 8g).
just let Vega do it's path to the review

(don't forget that the RX480 was intended to destroy the GTX1080 in any condition if you were listening too much the hype...)

Very very slow. I get the feeling they try to bump up the vega hardware stats as much as they can since Ti got released. Otherwise why it takes them SO LONG? By the time they release, Volta will come out, and then its a big fail.

Volta isn't coming out till like March next year. Vega is coming out in like a month or two. Relax.

I just wish that AMD Vega will at least be on par with the 1080Ti... That in itself is a big task for them.
