Hold the ****ing phone! Are they seriously comparing this "new" GPU to the 290 and 970 in their slides? Okay who the **** is making these decisions? They need to be fired right now.

580 not quite there for me to drop my money ... but these are MASS market GPUs based on price point for retailers where the bulk of their sell through will be.
Enthusiasts really want 1070 and onward performance and those are what... 5% of the market? 980/980 Ti, 390/390x and onwards...

They're comparing it to the 380 and the 970.
Because for those cards (and lower ofc) it is a valid upgrade path.
If you own a 480 for example you just need to increase your clock by some 50Mhz and you basically have a 580.
With proper fan-curve setup RX480 OCs to ~1400 without hassle. So you are in the 1257 base / 1340 boost region of the 580 easily.
R270(x)->R370(x)
R280(x)->R380(x)
R290(x)->R390(x)
these are all not really viable upgrade paths
so why should
RX 480 -> RX 580 be? (especially since it even stays a Polaris chip, while 380 -> 480 is an arch upgrade within the generational upgrade)
R270 -> R280/R290 ... viable
R270 -> R470 ... viable
first digit + 1 upgrade is only a generational upgrade
if second digit (performance iteration) stays the same then it is not really viable.
jumping +2 gens is viable again.
it is clear that 5xx are simply higher clocked (maybe especially binned) prev.-gen chips

I hoped for a bit more but lets wait for all the specifications and reviews.

New AMD slides, yay!

I wonder what they mean by enhanced multi-monitor efficiency. Simply better low usage power consumption?

Thought the vega gpu had hbm2 equipped, something changed here? I thought that was the main reason for the delay.
Why did they went back to gddr5??? Can't make the demands on time of release???
This is mid range vega right? The rx580? Hopefully the top dog vega will have hbm2.
UPDATE:
NM, there is Vega 10 and Vega 11, Originally though the rx580 was vega, I knew something was wrong here, lol.

^ No these aren't Vega, these are their last years Polaris again, they are just re-releasing them.

Sorry about that, originally thought rx580 was vega, then I remembered seeing vega 10 and vega 11 once before.
Anyways, when you all think this card will be released? both vega 10 and 11? summer time?
Defin't going to wait how vega performs, hopefully by or before then, evga 1080ti hybrids will be on sale.
Going to be very interesting going up against 1080ti, I am also hoping that all vega gpu's can be overclocked, If it can, this will get even more interesting.

Vega is supposedly by end of June.

So the top dog vega varient soon after right? Probably going to do a massive showcase around the time of computex in Taipei in June.
