Will AMD release any high performance GPU's in Q2 or Q3?

I saw this today.

What's interesting is this summary from reddit:

Direct X 11 2013-2014 Games (2) - RX Vega 56 is 2.5% slower than GTX 1070 FE
Direct X 11 2015 Games (7) - RX Vega 56 is 1.6% faster than GTX 1070 FE (3.9%* faster GTX 1070 FE without the Fallout 4 HD -62.3% outlier)
Direct X 11 2016-17 Games (10) - RX Vega 56 is 8.5% faster than GTX 1070 FE
Vulkan Games (1) - RX Vega 56 is 21.9% faster than GTX 1070 FE
Direct X 12 Games (8) - RX Vega 56 is 13.8% faster than GTX 1070 FE

Total average (28 games - 3 or 4 resolutions) is RX Vega 56 is 8.1% faster GTX 1070 FE (8.7%* faster without the Fallout 4 HD -62.3% outlier)

Vega 56 is much faster the more recent games with a 11% difference on DX 11 alone between the 2013-2014 games and the 2016-2017 games when compared to the 1070 FE.

Shame no one can buy one huh....

The whole GFX card pricing/mining story is absurd. There are almost no middle range cards available for a reasonable price. AMD have been hit worse because their compute side of things is stronger but even the NVidia cards are way overpriced.

Personally I am using a 460 while I wait for things to calm down. Somehow I think that I might be waiting a very long time. There is a chance that we get a deflation of the mining bubble and a few decent cards go on the market dirt cheap.

Whoa, hold on a second. AMD? High performance? Surely you jest!

GTX 1060 3GB and GTX 1050 Ti are virtually unaffected as of right now.

Mining might not be the only problem though, Video memory shortages or (NAND) are starting to affect Nvidia and wouldn't be surprise if it's affecting HBM2 yields. Which of course hurts AMDs ability to make more Vega card.

Just buy a 1080ti, in the current climate they are an odd value proposition lol.

The EVGA 1060 3GB was $170 on Amazon in May, now it's $240. The ASUS 1060 3GB only just dropped back to $225 from $245. In March this year it was $200. I wouldn't exactly call that unaffected and those aren't exactly mid range cards.

The 1050 ti isn't exactly much of an upgrade on my 460. It's also almost twice what I paid for the 460.

I am basically stuck with waiting until some sanity returns.

Yes, from what I understand, the big manufacturers are re-purposing their plants to make mobile memory. Maybe RAM is going to be more of a determining factor in GFX cards in the future rather than the GFX processor.

Vega 11 will come to replace Polaris line, just dont know when in 2018


it will get eaten by Voltas 2060 and 2050 though
