AMD Vega 10 GPU Name Accidentally Confirmed as Radeon RX 490 gets 8GB

AMD Vega 10 GPU Name Accidentally Confirmed as Radeon RX 490 gets 8GB

Well, it's not like it was exactly a secret but thanks Bethesda for confirming it. Bethesda announced it will release a new HD Texture Pack for the PC version of Fallout 4. To prepare PC gamers for this upcoming pack, Bethesda revealed the system requirements for it, and guess what they listed?

And it appears that the big publisher has leaked the name and the amount of graphics memory (8GB) that AMD's upcoming Vega10 GPU will feature. According to Bethesda, these are the official requirements for Fallout 4’s upcoming High-Resolution Texture Pack.

Recommended PC Specs

  • Windows 7/8/10 (64-bit OS required)
  • Intel Core i7-5820K or better
  • GTX 1080 8GB/AMD Radeon RX 490 8GB
  • 8GB+ Ram

Meanwhile in a new updated HBM2 specifications document released by SK Hynix they confirm HBM2 specs and availability of 4 gigabyte (32 Gbit) HBM2 stacks in Q1 2017. If you look at the photo below you can see two HMB2 stacks :) Radeon "Vega" thus indeed has 2x 4 GB HBM2 stacks, 8 GB of total memory. 

If you dig a little deeper into the document you'll notice SK Hynix H5VR32ESM4H-H1K at 1.60 Gbps (per pin), with a cumulative bandwidth of 205 GB/s per stack. x2 is 410 GB/s of memory bandwidth, if AMD sticks to the reference clock on this memory

I think that might have been a typo?? Bethesda removed the AMD 490 from the announcement.

If it was a typo, they would change it, not remove it.

I'm surprised to see they're recommending a GTX 1080 to utilise the HD Texture pack. I've not really played Fallout 4 yet on my rig, but I did run the first few scenes just to see how it runs and it ran at really high fps on my GTX 1070 (at 1920x1080) - I can't imagine the texture pack doing anything besides needing more VRAM, so why do they put a recommendation of a GTX 1080?


If you play at 1920x1080, you will not see much difference with HD textures. This is for those running the game on 2.5K monitors and higher. That is why you need GTX1080 with a lot of VRAM

The thing that I find shocking here is that you need additional 58 GB of hd space for this texture pack

It should certainly amount to a whole lot more than the Skyrim HD texture pack...which was barely noticeable, imo... ;) Let's hope so, anyway.
