AMD has released a new video, detailing the next-gen architecture of Vega. This has been a five year journey for AMD and Vega features according to the red team the world’s most scalable GPU memory architecture.
Vega features high-bandwidth cache, high-bandwidth cache controller, new programmable geometry pipeline, and next-generation pixel engine.
AMD’s Vega 10 high-end GPU is currently planned for release in the first half of 2017 and according to early reports, it will be as powerful as NVIDIA’s GTX1080.
Enjoy!

Cool. Now stop teasing and show the prices already goddammit! >.<
…. and a full year later than the 1080. Sigh AMD
They’re not trying to compete with the 1080. Sigh born2expire
lol
Then? If they release a product that performs similar to a 1080 then whey they trying to compete with or not, that’s their competitor
There is more than 1 Vega card coming out. We still don’t know which one we’re looking at. I’m leaning on the cheaper card as the one demoed only has 8gb of vram.
Yes AMD releases brand new architecture every 6 months in average (Polaris-RYZEN-Vega), It is true it comes year after pascal, but it also true AMD never released so major new architectures so fast in its whole history.
Fact is I dont believe there is any other chip company that would do anything close to that in that matter!
If Vega 10
with very much new GCN, >12TFLOPs, in every parameter significantly better
GPU than GP104 would be only fast as 1080 it would be nothing less than
disaster. Vega 10 will have to compete against 1080Ti and beyond. Demos 6
months before launch cannot be seriously considered as expected performance,
furthermore without proper driver support (in demos they used Fiji driver with
debugging layer for Christ sake).
If AMD pulls a Tahiti, Hawaii, Fiji, Polaris with the Vega Driver launch then it truly will be a disaster. I have not purchased a Pascal card because I am waiting for Vega. I just hope the Relive Drivers are a sign of good times for AMD. Because nobody want a new arch and wait 3 to 4 months waiting for Drivers to show off a GPU’s potential.
Waiting for Vega? Dude Vega will “release” in Q3 then give like a month for supply to catch up. You’re going to be waiting a long time
If they make a 1080 that’s cheaper, they already won in my eyes. Couldn’t care less about 1080 TI and all of the 800+ $ cards. Thats 1 % of the people anyways. The rest of us get normally priced cards.
“it will be as powerful as NVIDIA’s GTX1080”
Such a thing should be a given when Pascal, aka Paxwell, was clearly only a stopgap between Maxwell and the arrival of Nvidia’s true next-gen range of GPUs.
Whatever you say man, keep on waiting for Vega then… and waiting… and waiting…
Patience is a virtue so well done you for recognising the smartest decision.
Bit of a dry biscuit video.
“It will be as powerful as NVIDIA’s GTX1080”
It better surpass it, or it’ll have it difficult against the 1080 Ti.
Looks like nothing will ever stop nWeeDia’s price gouging (1080ti will be faster).
But as a long time amd cpu and gpu user I decided to support nweedia and bought the beastly gt 710 as a contingency gpu.
I’m fairly confident this “upgrade” decision will help me to finally get rid of this rather unhealthy (both physically and psychologically) “hobby” of mine (playing mostly violent, bloody, numbing first-person shooters).
Wish me luck.
I loved all of the articles back in 2016:
“Vega is being pushed up for early release to compete”
Now it’s…
“Vega to be released in Q3 2017”
Vega has no chance.
Who in their right mind releases a competing product that targets 2016 model competition??
And in MAY?? Thats almost half year into 2017, by that Time Nvidia will have 1080Ti out and working on releasing Volta in 6 to 10 months.
Vega is 12 months too late
