AMD VEGA (Radeon RX 490) Launch Imminent ?

AMD VEGA (Radeon RX 490) Launch Imminent ?

As you all know, AMD is yet to release the enthusiast SKUs for their graphics card line. The Radeon RX 490 series will be based on a GPU called VEGA 10. We already know that AMD Radeon Technologies Group (RTG) chief Raja Koduri tweeted that development of "Vega10" had just crossed a milestone, although it's a long way to go before you can see it".

AMD was supposed to launch their high-end class VEGA (codename) product in early 2017, the latest rumor was that the launch was being moved forward towards October. However today on Facebook Chris Hook, Sr. Director, Global Marketing and Public Relations, Radeon Technologies Group at AMD posted a photo with the comment "This is the Vega launch venue. Shh, don't tell the press". Considering half the worlds tech press is on his facebook, that obviously was a rather subtle joke slash hint.
  

Not exactly what you'd expect for a product launch - but for gaming series graphics card it certainly looks like a scenery from a Batllefield'ish game?


If this isn't a complete pun (and I do not expect it to be) then AMD is preparing a launch event for VEGA. Let's say you start planning such an even two months up-front, then indeed you can expect launch time to be October ...

So After Polaris comes Vega, Vega is the brightest star in the constellation Lyra, the fifth brightest star in the night sky and the second brightest star in the northern celestial hemisphere, after Arcturus. On earlier roadmaps VEGA was tagged as a HBM2 product. 

On the venue ... I better get my Tetanus shots.

Based on that article, I estimate between GTX1070 and GTX1080 with some DX12 games nearly GTX1080 performance except Tomb Raider where Pascal still wins.

DX11 however might be slower than GTX1070 like Far Cry Primal, or faster like The Division.

Nice enough performance. All comes down to price now. If they can do it for £450-500 it'll be very nice. If it's closer to £600, then, might be better off with GTX1080.

I'm assuming the 20-30% performance boost is in comparison to FuryX.

Denial; I think it's easy for us to forget how Nvidia surprised us and how quickly Pascal actually came out and the rumours were that it wouldn't be ready for another quarter or 2 (6months).

Considering what card I now have might skip Vega :D hoping for it to be awesome anyway tho. Unless AMD delivers Titan X Pascal level of performance with the bigger card then I could jump that.

I am just gonna talk about big Vega since people seem to be confused about the numbering because it is the other way around vs polaris.

Well let's hope it's on time and not delayed , i'm on the waiting game for a new video card. I shall wait for Hilbert's review , until then we can only speculate the performance of this video card.
