Despite rumours hinting towards a 2016 release, it appears that AMD’s high-end GPU, codenamed VEGA, will be released in the first half of 2017. This information comes straight from AMD (as it was featured in AMD’s August 2016 Investor Presentation), meaning that this is as legit as it can get.
AMD’s VEGA is said to be focused on the enthusiast market, so it will be interesting to see whether it will be able to top NVIDIA’s GTX1080.
We are also pretty sure that NVIDIA is already working on the GTX1080Ti (that will most probably come close to Titan X’s performance), so we are really curious whether VEGA will be able to compete with this upcoming GPU.

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
