AMD mentions Vega Enthusiast GPUs to be released H1 2017

AMD mentions Vega Enthusiast GPUs to be released H1 2017

An intersting spot, in a recent AMD investor presentation of August 2016 there is a mention of 'Vega' for the enthusiast market in the slides, with a launch date set at 1H 2017. That could be Vega 11.

1H 2017 would mean first half of 2017. Now we know there will be multiple Vega (Vega 10 and Vega 11) based products so that is an interesting spot alright as AMD originally was supposed to launch their high-end class VEGA (codename) product in early 2017, as it now seems that launch is being moved forward towards October. 

"Vega10" is lined up to replace the 390/490 series. "Vega11" will replace the FIJI / Fury parts. Rumors right now indicate that Vega10 has 4096 stream processors and could compete with the GeForce GTX 1080 and GTX 1070. Vega11 (thus that launches 2017 1H would feature 6144 stream processors and would be lined against the GP100 big pascal GPU (think Titan).
  

 
The new info on VEGA 11 can be spotted in this presentation.

AMD decided to pull the launch of its next big silicon, Vega10 from early-2017 launch to October 2016 (that is still a rumor though). Vega10 would be the GPU that replaces the Hawaii/Grenada series, perhaps with GDDR5X memory ? If so, Vega11 could be the enthusiast class HBM2 memory product that releases in 2017.

I think you will be fine until proper DX12 next-gen gpus => Nvidia Volta and AMD Navi in Q4 2017 or H1 2018.


For sure. Easy, since I have some performance to be unlocked by changing cpu/mobo/ram somewhere in between november and march.

So far IDK. I just don't see why people would want something without the Nvidia features because AMD has so far not shown any reason to. The only idiots that will crossover from Nvidia are people that are so mad they wanna hurt themselves. Simply no way in hell I am sacking PhysX, Inspector, and Gameworks just so I can try out a hotter AMD card lol.


Hurt myself? How? I don't know what Inspector is. The last game I remember releasing with any PhysX in it, that wasn't the CPU-version, was Borderlands 2 and that's what, 4 years old? Physx needs to just die. Gameworks? Can't recall playing any game where that was an upside.

No, nVidia has been pricegouging and doing nothing but developing dull products for years now, trying to put a value spin on them by having nonsense features like "Ansel" - as if I'll ever take a single screenshot with it, Shadowplay and other things that almost noone will ever use in reality.

Get your rhetoric under control.

I wouldn't call them dull, I would only call them overpriced. In my opinion 1070 and 1080 are kickass cards, no matter how you look at them. If you can afford them. If there's anything making them dull, it's the fact there's no AMD card to pit against them.

And since when has AMD ever shown, like ever, that they are even close to Nvidia when it comes to watt/perf?


Pitcairn (7800 series) and Cypress (5800 series) both beat Nvidia in watt/perf.

The Nano also beats the GTX 980.
