Well if you read the news you would know that it hasn't released yet. Release planned for when the cards ship in August according to AMD. Although I have a feeling they will be doing driver work for a while being a new architecture and all. I'm not sure why you're surprised the performance of the card WITHOUT the drivers performs like the card WITHOUT the drivers. RX and FE were always expected to perform similarly(excluding some clock differences) and just needing improvement on the software side.Where is your magic driver Anarchist4000 ? performance is the same as Vega FE basically.

My original prediction is still looking rather good. Official confirmation on parts of it as well, although testing of FE bore out most of that already. Only difference is AMD being aggressive with prices. Making what will likely turn into a $500 Titan. So a card with more features, DX12 support, higher minimum framerates, and a huge potential for increased performance already outperforming 1080. Pretty much makes Pascal obsolete at this point.
Still a bunch of details that haven't been announced. Like Vega32, the Nano sized card, more technical details, etc. Also the new shader models that haven't landed yet.

My god man, AMD told every one their card trades blow with the 1080, it's not superior with it, it's just barely matching it. And this AMD's own words, they know their card better than you.My original prediction is still looking rather good.

http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/foru...-reveals-rx-vega-price-performance-specs.htmlLet’s start with the bad news for some of you guys. The RX Vega series isn’t meant to compete against NVIDIA’s high end Pascal lineup like the Titan XP and GTX 1080 Ti. Rather, AMD is targeting the space between the GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 along with a segment slightly above the 1080 for the Vega 64 Liquid Cooler Edition.
As an interesting side-note, it sounds like the pixel engine’s Draw Stream Binning Rasterizer, which we introduced back in January, is currently disabled on Radeon Vega Frontier Edition cards. However, AMD says it’ll be turned on for Radeon Vega RX’s impending launch. Don’t expect any miracles from the feature’s activation. After all, AMD is assuredly projecting performance with DSBR enabled. A slide of presumably best-case scenarios shows bandwidth savings as high as 30%.
stock 1080 FE it wont touch AIB 1080s...No I expect AIO to actually be faster then 1080. It should sustain those boost clocks rather well!
Is there life beyond GCN?
Clearly, GCN is not the future.
been saying that since they tried to prop it up with Mantle i knew the whole point of Mantle was GCN was a turd
I think it is clear they need a new architecture. GCN was great the first couple of years but NVIDIA has clearly surpassed them in architecture by now. What bothers me is the power needs of this card considering it is still a lower clocked card then a 1080.GCN is not a turd. GCN was a beast when it was launched. It's just that AMD has been pulling every last single leg or GCN it should have been retired 2 years ago. I think VEGA is the end of GCN. And NAVI should break that tradition. Hopefully.
How else do you expect them to sell these GPU but to bundle them with a better product?rumor is RX Vega 64 can't be bought seperatly without a bundle at launch, pretty much have to buy a ryzen chip, motherboard with the card! LOL Wow.
AMD Announces the Radeon RX Vega Nano
by VSG Sunday, July 30th 2017 20:29 Discuss (11 Comments)
AMD had two press days over the weekend to cover a whole bunch of announcements- Ryzen Threadripper, RX Vega, Vega Pro and more. They provided details galore on the Vega microarchitecture, and the two RX Vega versions. Well, make that three now. AMD at Capcaicin SIGGRAPH 2017 also announced and showed off the RX Vega Nano.
Raja Koduri, Senior Vice-president of AMD's Radeon Technology Group, came up on stage minutes ago and handed over one of the very few working samples of this new card to Tim Sweeney, founder of Epic Games and Unreal Engine. The RX Vega Nano is an update to the R9 Nano from 2015 which was based off AMD's "Fiji" microarchitecture and was the then king of efficiency and small form factor support. We were only just talking about how RX Vega missed an opportunity with HBM2 to provide another mITX GPU and looks like AMD agreed.
This RX Vega Nano appears to share a common base with the RX Vega 64 Limited Edition in that it sports a silver aluminum shroud, but has a single large axial fan vs the blower fan in the latter. It also appears to have the same single row of I/O- 3x fullsize DisplayPort and 1x HDMI- and the entire card is estimated at ~5-6" in length based on a quick back-of-the-envelope calculation. We are also not sure if the packaging for the card will include what appears to be a sealed hard case with foam inserts, and we will share any new information as and when we get them.
I'm a bit puzzled about why the power requirements are so high. The 1080 Ti has a maximum power draw of 250W but the water-cooled RX 64 has a draw of 350W. That said, the 1080 Ti has a recommended power supply of 600W-650W. Why is Gigabyte recommending an additional 250W on the PSU--going off the 350W vs 250W wouldn't you expect the requirement to be 750W?
They're likely accounting for those who'll want to OC an extra 50Mhz. I'm guessing like we saw with FE, the power curve goes to the roof at speeds over the max boost.
But yeah, a 1000w requirement for a single card, much less a single-gpu card, is bonkers.

So now you need to spend at least $1000 just to buy Vega with AIO. What the hell?
Who said anything about Crossfire? He's talking about having 2 dies in a single SOC. They would be seen as one large chip.Perhaps you haven't seen the current lack of Crossfire support in games. Crossfire and SLI are both dying. nVidia has come out and said that they can no longer support SLI the way they once did. Less than 1% of gamers use SLI. I'm sure the same can be said of Crossfire. You say AMD will release a dual Vega card. My question is, what happened to Polaris? Why no dual Polaris card?
If AMD wants to release a dual Vega card with any type of moderately reasonable power consumption and heat output, they will have to underclock it to the point that it will struggle to beat a single GTX 1080 Ti. Which would largely defeat the purpose.
I have never been a fan of the dual cards, and I don't think it's fair to call them the world's most powerful GPU if and when they can beat the fastest single card.

Can't believe you will not be able to buy the liquid cooled variant without buying a Freesync monitor or Mobo + CPU. Though at $699, not sure why you wouldn't go with a 1080 Ti.
Vega is a failure in my eyes. Doesn't compete in price, doesn't compete in performance.
AMD once again is clinging to new memory architecture. It's preventing them from competing in price as I imagine HBM2 is not cheap.
HD2900XTX anyone?
Also all LE's too, ya need to get them with bundles.
Well no one else will ever buy these cards outside of people that love AMD, might as well sell them the whole package, its a good marketing strategy, unfortunately very few people will be stupid enough to this for a mediocre card, there is no pressure on nV's product stack.
Well, you don't have to buy the monitors or CPUS. The bundle includes coupons that have to be used immediately as part of the same purchase. You get a coupon for $100 off Ryzen+mobo and a $200 coupon on a FreeSync monitor. You can throw away the coupons and not buy the monitors and CPU+MOBOs if you want. It's possible to get the watercooled edition and 2 games for the $700.

its only mediocre to us. People who are building systems and buying ryzen already are in it for AMD. It won't be so hard for them to save 200 and grab this card. I don't think they are making too many at the moment so they have limited it to bundles. They probably see a significant uptick in ryzen sales and with threadripper coming up that will only go up. So why not give these buyers are reason to buy vega. I think its a great strategy and will probably sell all vegas they make.
no no, ya need to get it all at once.
As for the contents of the bundle, the bundled games are rather straightforward: the bundle simply comes with the games (presumably in voucher form). For the hardware however, the discounts come in the form of an instant rebate on the hardware, not a voucher or other “bankable” form. This means that if you buy a Radeon Pack SKU, you must buy the discounted hardware at the same time to get the discount. You are not required to buy the hardware – instead paying the $100 premium just for the card selection and included games – but the discounts cannot be saved until later. It’s now or never.
Yes, you are correct if you want to use the coupons. However, you can just let them expire if you want. From anandtech:
If they pull "announcing G-Sync lite - adaptive sync support", now that would hit hard...Waiting for Nvidia to go "Lol, introducing the 2080 GTX"
