Newspost taken down on request of AMD. NDA breach.
They should have used the machine learning rig to learn how to play Doom on the gaming rig!!
:p
Maybe it could Learn to tell people who says 'Will it play Crysis' to F--K Off :D 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!!
yes, but will it play crysis?
i`ll get my coat...
But will it ever launch and will there ever be any stock we can buy ?
I'm sure they will leave plenty of time between announcing it and releasing it into the wild for Nvidia to respond... as always. :wallbash: :mad:Quote:

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.Quote:

Ofcourse it runs crysis probably even at 640x480 :D
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
