Vega is still on schedule to release in Q2, so yes.
comparable
It will be slower than gtx 1080 is my guess. Even if its faster it wont be faster than the ti, and either way power consumption will be far higher than either card.
At this point in time it's WAY too early to tell.
It's an entirely new architecture again, don't make me start the Ryzen stuff again.
Performance is an unknown factor at this point and so is power consumption.
Yes it'll be very likely slightly higher than nVidia because of the lack of physical hardware like a HWS (or 2) etc.
That said at the end of this month is Computex 2017, it's very likely they will announce and launch the RX Vega line then.
That's what she said...
She being Lisa and said in earnings report - high end AMD solution coming this quarter.
I expect whatever they pull out be in a usual AMD style - exquisite solution that will offer better than 1080Ti performance in few select titles and worse than 1080Ti in most others.
I do think it will be a fine card still.
Ya i saw those rumors, but there is no possible way those are correct. They probably have multiple models to compete in each category. What id like to see is 1080 performance for closer to 1070 pricing.
Well, I am no AMD Scion having 1080Ti and all, but those rumors can be safely disregarded.
I am sure it will be something alongside 1080 to 1080Ti depending on a title, Vulcan games will surely be better with Vega, all 3 of them.
But it for sure ain't gonna be 4K card - 8GB VRAM is just to small for that - I use 5.5GB VRAM already with all eyecandy in ME:A at 2K - 4K and it would be too close for comfort for long haul.
The 290x, after Crimson of course, pretty much went toe-to-toe with the 780ti. The 390x did not fare so well against the 980ti since it was really almost the same thing as the 290x, but this is a new architecture, so only time will tell. It is definitely within the realm of possibilities that it will be able to compete directly with the 1080ti though.
Old data/rumors had unknown Vega beat 1080 with debugger attached and non optimized drivers. Though how it really is is impossible to know without somebody having good sample in hands. I do hope it is at least competitive with 1080.
My sources tell me it's gonna be faster than Voodoo 1.
Given that pretty much all the sources for rumours thus far have been websites that tend to take a machine gun approach to tech news (report on everything and at some point you'll get lucky and be right) in order to get more clicks, none of the rumours (and they are just rumours) are worth listening to at this point in time.
just feels too little too late, whatever the outcome. oh amd
i got tired of waiting and picked up a cheap 1070 to replace my 290.. but the temperature in my room is already 10 degrees cooler, so that's nice. (oh also the nighthold gardens are nicer to raid in now)
