AMD Talks VEGA - VR and Stategic relation with Bethesda at GDC 2017

AMD Talks VEGA - VR and Stategic relation with Bethesda at GDC 2017

Earlier today AMD held its yearly Capsaicin & Cream Event, you have been able to follow it on the LiveStream. Nothing was announced that hasn’t been announced before but VEGA was discussed.

At the start of GDC (Game developers conference) in San Francisco on stage AMD's CTO of the Graphics Product Group, Raja Koduri talked VEGA, 4K gaming as an aim and content, they talked lots about content. On stage a few demos have been showed including VR content. Koduri talked about the High Bandwidth cache (HBM2)  running on Vega and compared a thing or two.
  

 
VEGA will get enhanced encoders so that high quality streaming becomes available, On stage there was a demo showcasing Liquid Sky (cloud game streaming) running a small laptop streaming Battlefield 1 from a nearby server cloud server as Vega will end up in there as well. The standard stuff on Vulkan and DirectX 12 was talked and promoted with Vega 9and older technology as well) in relation to performance improvements.

  

 
Sniper Elite 4 was demonstrated on two RX 480 cards in Crossfire, the scales 100% in Multi_GPU mode. The game has become rather popular and was well received (hey even yours truly finished the game). Fun fact: If you look closely at the sniping screenshot, you can see that AMD is lovingly using Guru3D RTSS as well (overlay).  In the presentation obviously a word or two have been shared on the upcoming launch of Ryzen processors. Eight is the new four, AMD claims. A new VR technology called asynchronous reprojection is introduced and was presented together with HTC, (HTC Vive) The company also unveiled forward-rendering a technology that makes the GPU predict and render ahead of user input, to bypass  performance drops.

A demo was given on ROM Extraction (interactive VR), ROM: Extraction puts you into the role of an Extractor where you must Throw, Slow, & Shoot your way to decimate as many extraterrestrial-bots as possible. ROM: Extraction begins as an homage to the classic arcade shooter with more game modes and maps to come.
  

 
At the end Raja got back on stage and started talking about Vega again. Today AMD is announcing a unique strategic partnership with Bethesda to optimize Ryzen and Radeon graphics card. On both sides they have engineers working on optimizations for the hardware and games. This obviously invokes the May release of Prey. Prey is a first-person shooter with role-playing game elements and strong narrative. The player takes the role of Morgan Yu, a human aboard a space station with numerous hostile aliens. The player will be able to select certain attributes of Yu, including gender, and decisions made by the player will affect elements of the game's story. To survive, the player controls Yu to collect and use weapons and resources aboard the station to fend off and defeat the aliens.
  

 
Vega then, Koduri saved it for last. AMD will be naming the card Radeon RX VEGA. 

This article is now closed as the livestream ended.

I'm very curious about High bandwidth cache. They said it improves minimum frames by 100%. That's quite crazy high promise I think.

HBM cache will bring great improvements to the architecture, awesome. I love the new Vega logo and the disclosure that the real name for Vega is Radeon RX Vega GPU. All in all it was a good show.
