ha awesome, i have a feeling vega 10 will fight the 1080ti, will probably knock the sh!t out of the 1080, but we shall see. Anyway can't wait, i really want to go back to full AMD system: Zen + Vega10 😛c1:

Vega 11 is the fast Vega, 10 is lower end one. The numbers are switched compared to Polaris.

Since HMB2 memory seems to suffer from low availability would it not make more sense to release a GDDR5x card first?

Pretty sure AMD is skipping GDDR5x. I remember reading that there were conflict with incorporating it into there new design. HMB2 will be worth the wait.

Isnt the GDDR5x also suffering from low availability? 1080 was paper launch for many. You still have to wait quite a bit after you order one. HBM2 looks promissing.

IMHO Amd is going in the right direction marketing wise, Polaris is being hyped, now they are already starting with Vega. however they should also make commercials to show on websites or tv to reach non geeks :P

Will be interesting to see just how many people will buy that 480. Steam stats will be a good indicator

Raja Koduri today creates a bit of hype, likely trying to go viral. He posted a photo which states, Vega 10 Celebration. As you guys know, the Polaris 10 and 11 products that will be empowering the Ra... Raja Koduri Creates a bit of Hype

He has a "GOOD" bait.... There's a shiny lure....from this guy but not now...may be ...later....

How on earth we keep looking at the production of HBM while in reality these high end cards only cater to a tiny minority. They are struggling to produce HBM for a card that will only have a 2% market share. If AMD wanted to bring HBM to all their cards i could understand but they only want it for a tiny amount of enthusiasts which is confusing. I bet this is just a BS excuse. AMD is behind not because of HBM but because Nvidia is just miles ahead in R&D.

..."Will It Blend?"

Now that's marketing.

As stated before, where exactly is the proof that there are production issues with HBM?

If AMD wanted to bring HBM to all their cards i could understand but they only want it for a tiny amount of enthusiasts which is confusing. I bet this is just a BS excuse.

And how exactly do lower-end cards benefit from HBM? Their cores aren't powerful enough to saturate something like GDDR5.

AMD is behind not because of HBM but because Nvidia is just miles ahead in R&D.

Exactly which features from Nvidia's R&D are miles ahead that aren't platform-specific? Not everybody cares about CUDA, PhysX, G-Sync, and so on. In terms of features everybody actually cares about, AMD (and Intel, for that matter) supports the vast majority of them.

Have a feeling Vega will be a winner this time around (esp comparing to Fiji). Mainly due to the fact that the launch date has been brought forward by several months.

YES! The AMD coming back.... Vega 10 14nm with 8Gb HBM2 will smash the GTX 10xx! Because it will be more powerful? Yes, could be, but will smash because it will cost too much less then GTX 10xx series, and now they are too expensive. I think AMD will, until the end of this year, win a expressive market share to fight face a face with Nvidia. I HOPE SO! I BELIEVE!: 🤓

Looking forwards to AMD releasing this generation of cards , i'm wanting to go back to a single GPU setup that will power my 1440p monitor , but i'm not liking the price of the 1080 at all, so maybe a move to AMD for me , im just hoping that this new gen of cards from AMD are on par with the 1080 at what i would call a reasonable price...

Exactly, 1080 is midrange card with price of highend. I dont have problem pay even 1k for best possible card, but 700(800+) for 1080 reference card is highly exaggerated. Last year I moved from AMD to nvidia 980ti just only for reason it had HDMI 2.0 so I could run 4k@60Hz (no DP). This year I am planning to replace my 6 years old i7 rig and get 8 core Zen, 32GB DDR4 and Vega11 (what ever top model will be called).

AMD could possibly have priority over HBM2 compared to Nvidia.

They are using two different vendors. Nvidia is using Samsung, AMD is using SK Hynix.

Vega 10 the Bigger & Vega 11 the Smaller not otherwise. Just like the Polaris 10 and 11 were Polaris 10 the bigger chip similar is the case with Vega 10 and 11 were Vega 10 is the bigger chip that holds 6144 stream processors that is designed to compete with Nvidia GP100. Vega 11 on the other hand is the smaller Vega that competes with GTX1080 which is rumored to launch on this October. According to vrworld: "....Vega 10 will be the most advanced silicon AMD has ever produced. Featuring 14nm FinFET design by GlobalFoundries or Samsung, with SK.Hynix HBM2 memory modules on multi-chip-module, i.e. MCM (TSMC calls this CoWoS), Vega 10 is looking to offer equal or higher performance than the high-end GP100." http://vrworld.com/2016/06/24/amd-celebrates-vega-10-rollout/

You should expect the chip to land in between GP104 and GP100.

Don't the last sentence and the one before kind of contradict each other? Like, being equal or faster than GP100, and then putting it between GP100 and GP104 (slower)? I hope AMD to deliver big, was thinking about a second rig in a couple of years that I'd enjoy building up on a Radeon GPU again.

Maybe Raja should stop hyping up AMD's products. The last products were good but ultimately disappointing due to hype. I just don't get this about AMD.

I see a lot of talk about prices here which in the majority is implying(I do agree to an extend) that GTX 1080 is overpriced(it is kinda) and the soon to be release RX 480 underpriced or reasonably at least. Not bashing any side here but do really people think if Vega was released tomorrow offering 20-30% more performance than GTX 1080, AMD would price it less than NVidia's top offering at the moment?

Many people believe AMD to be a charity for some reason. Of course they wouldn't price it better, look at Fury X. Same price as the 980 Ti yet not up there in performance (custom). Yeah it has watercooling, but it serves limited purpose when that card refuses to overclock properly. Bit of a disaster really. Vega 11 will likely be priced the same as the future Ti/Titan.

Yeah, with otherwise naked women prancing around with the cards hiding their private parts something. "Buy the new AMD cards now, so she won't be able to hide them anymore!". 😉
