And it looks like AMD is working on at least three Vega SKUs.

Fingers Crossed!

Hopefully they will be cheaper that nVidia cards

Give me 1080 performance for sub £400 from a good AIB partner with decent cooler and I'll bite.

same here :)

so to sum it up, it will be 2x480 performance+, so GTX 1080+, now the price game that will change everything.

I am waiting patiently.. Come on AMD we will Love your VEGA.

Btw will there be mobile gpus or they gonna go the nVidia desktop in laptop route ?

So, tomorrow to sync with prey? It's odd, normally an etailer slips up this close to a launch

Same. Pricing is going to be key though.

Most interesting thing to be will be the comparison back to the Fury X, which has the same 4096 shaders. On pure clockspeed alone it should be ~ 50% faster, but that would only get it into the same ballpark as the plain GTX 1080. So I'll be looking very closely to see how much they've managed to improve the utilisation and IPC...

Wish they'd hurry up. My 570 (GTX, not RX :surprised:) is almost as crippled as I am and I need a new monitor to boot :)

I'd be perfectly fine with ballpark 1080, as long as it's under 1080 prices.

going through the numbers in the hexus 1080ti review, it's not a massive ask. Multiplying all the average 4K frame rates of the fury X by 1.5 to represent a 50% faster clocked fury 2, the average delta is only 9%. That is for the founders edition, admittedly

(1080ti led a 50% boosted fury X by 17, 9, -11, 12, 17, 10 % with the results in the same order as the games in the hexus review)

I can't believe we're still speculating after all this time. Until Vega arrives and reviews appear, I'm not listening to any of the 'fake news' that keeps fanboys on both sides dribbling into their pants. :D

At least Vega is great for News sites. You can report on it forever, always coming soon, always people waiting to be disappointed.

I'm wondering if there'll be a Nano replacement hence making the three?

That appears to be the plan, Vega will more or less be a Fury replacement.

I went from the r9 290 to a r9 fury nitro and to tell the truth there was not much difference if any , lets hope vega does better .
