During its Computex livestream, AMD’s CEO, Lisa Su, revealed that the gaming/consumer version of the VEGA graphics card, the AMD Radeon RX Vega, will be launched during this year’s SIGGRAPH event.
As Lisa Su claimed, SIGGRAPH is the perfect event to launch such a product.
In case you are wondering, this means that the AMD Radeon RX Vega graphics card will be released at the end of July.
SIGGRAPH 2017 begins on July 30th and ends on August 3rd. Our guess is that AMD will showcase more demos during that event.
For what it’s worth, during its Computex event AMD showcased PREY running in 4K on two Radeon RX Vega graphics card on the new AMD Ryzen Threadripper CPU. And… well… let’s just say that we weren’t impressed by what AMD showcased (as there was tearing during that demo and there wasn’t any FPS counter to show how the game was running).
But anyway, the AMD Radeon RX Vega graphics card will be released at the end of July, so stay tuned for more!

Okay.
OMG END OF JULY ?? JUST LOL. I mean, at this rate i see it like this, in chronological order
Big bang —> 1080Ti —> Harry Potter Philisopher’s Stone –> Trump get elected
—> Year 2100 comes and the entire east/west coast is flooded since you know trump —> Year 2500 jesus christ makes a comeback —> VEGA.
Rip.
“PREY running in 4K” cool i guess, its not a rally graphically impressive game so….. “on two Radeon RX Vega graphics cards” omg…… its another bad amd graphics generation…….. how are they still in buisness?
I don’t know man, Prey looks really good to me and it taxes out a 1080 Ti @ 5760×1080. Having said that a Vega running it at 4K and 60fps is a good sign.
Will see.
Prey isn’t demanding at all. I’m pushing 8,294,400 pixels at around 40-50 fps with my good old 980Ti. You’re saying the 1080Ti “taxes out” at pushing just 6,220,800 pixels? That’s an equation I can’t figure out. Besides, the 1080Ti is very nearly twice as fast as a 980Ti.
“Vega running it at 4K and 60fps is a good sign”
That’s a bad sign actually. Because a 1070 can do it too.
Ok lol, you might want open GPU-Z or any monitoring software if you think it’s not taxing your 980 Ti. Why are you not hitting 60FPS if it’s not taxing your GPU? Its probably maxed out your 980 Ti or you would be at 60FPS. “Prey isn’t demanding at all” if this would be true you be at 60 FPS, right?
If my GPU is at 66% usage on max clocks I would not say that is idling, would you? So of course its taxing it but its not at 90% or a 100% for that would be maxing it out.
You might want to check the benchmarks of a 1070 its basically a 980 Ti plus a few FPS. Same take a look at the 1080 Ti it is pretty much 2X a 980 Ti. Just Google “Guru3d 1080 Ti”, they have solid reviews.
Some thought a Vega would not even be able to match a 1080 Ti, so I would have to say its a good sign its capable of 4K 60 FPS on a new game. Not sure how that is a bad sign.
“so I would have to say its a good sign its capable of 4K 60 FPS on a new game. Not sure how that is a bad sign.”
It’s a bad sign because GTX 1080 is better then this. It can achieve more than 60FPS in 4K in Prey. According to information above, they achieve it with 2 VEGA GPUs. And they achieve worse FPS than one 1080? GTX 1080 Ti alone is around 90 FPS in this game. This only show us, that Vega is really still not prepared on release.
Ahhhh now I get why you guys are saying it sucks since -> “running in 4K on two Radeon RX Vega graphics card” I re read the article. I guess this = crossfire? Nah, it can’t be. Isn’t a RX 580 in crossfire pretty much = to a 1080 Ti minus 10 fps(perfect scaling), so a Vega is equal or a little bit faster then a RX 580? This has to be wrong.
Damn if this is the case then that is brutal, I thought it was running on a single Vega I totally miss read that as two different models, my bad.
No wonder you guys thought I was crazy 🙂 . Man if this is true I don’t know why they even showed the GPU and it be DOA. This can’t be correct and makes no sense.
🙂 Well even with one Vega it wouldn’t be good. Because one GTX 1080 is getting more then 60 FPS in 4K and according to this, Vega would be slower. GTX 1080 Ti is far away with 90 FPS. But I still don’t believe that the best Vega will be slower than GTX 1080. We will see in 2 month.
BTW in your previous comment you said following: “Having said that a Vega running it at 4K and 60fps is a good sign”. From where did you get that it was 60 FPS when in presentation there is not FPS counter?
Kai. I never said that Prey @ 4K wasn’t taxing my 980Ti. Read my post again. I said Prey @ 4K isn’t really taxing a 1080Ti.
That’s right, Prey isn’t particularly demanding since a 1070 can max it out in 4K with around 60 Fps. Saying that it’s taxing a 1080Ti is just straight up wrong.
It’s actually phenomenal performance in Pray and a well optimized game. Other titles using CryEngine is very demanding as soon as your crank the res up to 4K, Everybody’s Gone To The Rapture and Kingdom Come: Deliverance are great examples of that, resulting in dragging my 980Ti to its very knees with framerates around 20-25.
I already checked guru3d benchmarks of both the 1070 and the 1080Ti, a GTX 1070 @ 2100Mhz is faster than a 980Ti @ 1500Mhz in a significant way. Same, I already told you that a 1080Ti equals twice the performance of the 980Ti, why bring it up again and telling me to google “guru3d 1080 Ti” Please read my initial post more thoroughly.
“its a good sign its capable of 4K 60 FPS on a new game. Not sure how that is a bad sign”
Then let me clarify. It’s not just “a new game” It’s a very optimized and non-demanding game. The fact that it can manage 60 Fps in Prey at 4K isn’t anything special, a baby could do it (baby = clocked 1070) So needless to say, it’s a bad sign.
Prey runs 4k 60fps maxed out on 1080ti wth 82% (approx) usage. There’s plenty youtube videos showing this.
Sorry, but unless this is some epic xfire problem or their drivers are completely messed up at this point, this looks to be a disaster.
2 Vega to achieve what 1080ti does on it’s own and it tears still???
Oh boy!!
How do you run it on 5760×1080? Which monitor do you have?
He is running three 1080p monitors.
Yeah that he does. I don’t understand people getting three monitors to connect together. I mean the bezels alone would annoy the cr*p outta me, let alone the low pixel density of regular 1080p monitors, brrr… I guess I’ve been sitting too much and too long in my 4K monitor. The new ASUS ROG PG35VQ looks delicious though, 35 inches, Ultra-Wide, Curved, HDR, Quantum Dot technology, G-Sync, 200hz and 3440×1440…. Yummy! 🙂 The catch? It’s $2500!!
Sell your kidney lmao.
Yeah that… or the A$$ >_>
Can I use lube? 🙁
?????? ? played at 60-80 fps max settings on 1440P my RYZEN 1700 16 GB DDR4 3200 MHZ GTX 970 G1 GAMING. And a 1080ti can run it with more than 100 fps on 4k.
Think about it the RX 480 uses the same amount of energy as a 1080 despite the fact its 75% slower according to Techpowerup benchmarks.
HBM will at what give them 30% better performance per watt?
Only thing I can think of that might explain this is that Vega drivers are just not ready at all.
It slightly reminds me of e3 before launch of new consoles when publishers were using dual and triple sli to run games (albeit at higher resolutions) that would run more efficiently upon release.
Omfg… FAQQQQQQQQ…. i see myself paying 1700 bucks for a decent nvidia gpu… FAQ YOU AMD.
Nvidia “mindshare monopoly” is just an excuse. period. so you should stop keep mentioning this over and over. when AMD have the crown for themselves with 5870 for 6 months it was reflected in market share. in Q2 2010 AMD for the first time leading in discrete market share at 51% vs nvidia 49%. just competing is not enough. if AMD wants to people to consider their product they MUST have that single GPU crown for themselves. there is no way around it and further double/triple their effort working with game developer by not being selective about it.
You don’t get any notable market share with top of the line thousand buck graphics cards. That’s just a publicity stunt for both manufacturers, nobody actually cares about that particular “crown”.
majority of the sales might come from the mid range but that crown will give positive impression to your whole product stack up. that’s the whole point of having that crown.
WHAT?! GTX 1080TI which is currnetly the best Nvidia graphics card costs 750 euros not 1700…..
I have been waiting for a good amd high end gpu for such a long time… its a kick on the balls. Watching all this conferences i feel like paying 850 euros for a good 1080 ti is madness. I think im gonna buy a second hand 1080 and go sli. I already have one.
i have a 4k monitor. that is why a single 1080 is not good enough. and i dont see a 4k gsync monitor under 1000 euros. plus tax. i have 1 1080 and a 1200 watts evga supernova platinum.
my only issue is my nzxt noctis and my almost triple slot gainward vga. im gonna need to buy a msi sea hawk or an evga hybrid to keep temps and noise under control…. idkk…
I have a 290x which is still kicking it, but I’ve been waiting for this card for ages now. Even when they do release it, there will probably be a shortage. The wait is real (:
That’s all good and all buteh…. 3 months later nvidia launches Volta >_>
When Amd had a winning 7970-7950 they rushed and showed that ASAP when they don’t have a winning design they do this.
I personally think VEGA will not meet a 1080Ti or 1080 unless its in a AMD specialized game or a game that always does really well on Amd.
I’m just happy Ryzen is a great CPU architecture.
And where is the news about the Threadripper…so much for i9’s HEDT’s but no article for AMD counterpart with its 64PCi lanes?…okay…
Volta will be out just a few months after VEGA releases at this point. What a joke.
Seriously, you wasted more time to tell us that you’ve prolonged the launch to July 30th?, effectively Aug…
Starting to feel like this stalling has their highest model Vega tanking. This is turning into such a joke. I was excited about having actual competition in the gaming space, yet all we’re getting is *some* competition in the CPU space (not a ton for gaming as there is for workstation mind you) and more in the non gaming space.
AMD and Nvidia seem more happier these days and confident in showing off hw to data centers as well as workstation users than they would for gamers.
Yeah, and as soon as Vega cards are starting to drop off the shelves Nvidia prolly will start rolling out Voltas…
I’d agree, but tbh, I don’t think either care for gaming GPU’s as much as they do for workstation and data centers. Just look at how quick either are to show fof their i9 type CPU’s as well as AMD with Ryzen 7, eventually followed by R5, the CPU for gamers.
Nvidia eventually shows off Volta while AMD shows off a vega card for workstations, I’m just thinking at this point that either of them are weaning off PC gamers, at least going by how they are slowing down and showing off the gaming hw last.
AMD is slacking as usual, no way they can compete now with nividia’s 800$ titan equivalent
They don’t really aim to. Who is going to buy an 800$ graphics card? Very few people. Game devs, mostly. Other than that just rich manchildren addicted to more performance… for taking screenshots and posting benchmarks on youtube.
some of us are power users
graphics cards aren’t just for D*ck measuring contests, the TI series are mostly to secure a good card purchase for about 2-3 years per cycle
My impression was that most people who buy 1080 TI type cards buy a new one every year, so I don’t BUY that argument, pun intended.
i bought my 980TI when it came and replaced my aging GTX560 with a brand new machine with state of the art components
and back then it costed me 4000 shekels (which are roughly 1000 euros)
and i’m still with the same specs since 2015 and i don’t really feel the need to upgrade, mostly because all the new games are crap anyway so it’s just not worth the investment
>2015
>back then
>still with the same specs
One and a half years are literally nothing in hardware age. The 980 TI is still high end and CPUs have slowed to a crawl for many years now. Even Ryzen didn’t manage to move things forward. I’m running new games at 60 to hundreds of fps on a CPU from 2010 and a GPU from 2014.
I got Zotac 750ti 2GB + i5 6500
my Mobo Gigabyte Sniper B7 which Support AMD #CrossFire
and Yesterday I just bought Samsung 21.5″ #FullHD Curve Monitor with #AMD Free Sync Tech.
Now I want to update my GPU to AMD. should I wait or jsut go for “SAPPHIRE PULSE Radeon RX 570 4GB”?
Good luck finding a 570. Miners have made them disappear.
So more vega talk?
