    They should have used the machine learning rig to learn how to play Doom on the gaming rig!!

    Re: AMD Vega tackled DOOM at the Sonoma Instinct event

    Maybe it could Learn to tell people who says 'Will it play Crysis' to F--K Off Now that would be something. So AMD RX 490 is using VEGA Hmmm 4K at 68fps which is a very playable framerate I'm looking forward to what the higher end VEGA with 16GB HBM2 can do. Is this the Card to finally beat the Evil Nvidia -queue the Darth vader theme tune- Will it save the Galaxy far far away or will EVidia fight back with the Pascal death star, Only time will tell. Might even be the 1st AMD card i go for in 10 years!!

    I'm sure they will leave plenty of time between announcing it and releasing it into the wild for Nvidia to respond... as always.

    This card looks to have potential, but I don't know where it fits in the range, how much it costs, when it will launch, when it will be available & I need to buy a new PC early next year.

    I also appreciate that it's demo'd using a game that favours AMD. So I seem a while away from Linus giving it a good go over and being able to actually buy one (especially a 3rd party cooled OC version).

    Re: AMD Vega tackled DOOM at the Sonoma Instinct event

    Sounds like there are a lot of 1070 and 1080 cards unsold out there, which might not bode well for Vega.

    So far it starts to look like 980->980Ti situation might repeat. Hopefully AMD pulls out better-than-1080Ti card this time so there is some fresh wind in the high end segment.

    we already know what will happen, Nvidia will strike with 1080 Ti which is like Titan XP performance, it is the same story every f****ing year, so AMD high end card should beat Titan XP from the get go as Nvidia Volta will be released Q3 2017, so there is just less than a year for AMD to win the market.

    The Instinct release claimed 25TFLOP for the high end card which will be Vega. That is FP16, so we can expect half that rate as the FP32 figure which at 12.5TFLOP is more than P100 and about double an RX 480.

    I'm tempted to blame the depressive effect of an impending high-end launch. Everyone knows 1080ti & the 490 are just around the corner, and the 1080 pricing will tumble when they launch, so why buy now?

    I suspect you are right, though perhaps the retailers were a bit caught out by how fast the demand surge subsided. Not sure if GPU mining is still a thing (or was it ever as big as the hype?), but the after effects of that might also contribute to a smaller than expected market for high end GPUs.

    It was a thing, but the volume of high end card sales has always been quite low so a new market could really change the sales figures.

    It seems to have been replaced by ASIC mining though, you can no longer earn back the power cost with a GPU.

    Re: AMD Vega tackled DOOM at the Sonoma Instinct event

    Ofcourse it runs crysis probably even at 640x480
    However would you be willing to pay near thousand dollar or more for a gpu which a 200 dollar gpu will do fine
    For instance one of the guys on our lab did that once and came to the conclusion he was a moron xD, for buying a card which costed him 4000 dollar to get the performance of a card which normally cost around 450 dollar. So the lesson learned him do not buy a superb proffesional card to brag at home.
    Its simply not worth it xD
