Brand loyalty isn't as important as getting the card you feel is right for you. If you start playing the waiting game for computer parts you'll probably never buy anything. If this is the card you want, buy it now.

I just bought a cheaper RX480 to hold me over till Vega comes. Vega will be the 4k upgrade so will require me also buying 4k TV and 4k monitor, have my eye on a TV just waiting for a sale or a good price match.

AMD's Epyc Servers Launch June 20, Consumer Vega GPUs Follow in July - ExtremeTech

As for consumer Vega, AMD has stated it will launch the card at SIGGRAPH, an industry event from July 30 – August 2nd. This fulfills Lisa Su’s earlier remarks about launching consumer Vega within a couple of months (from mid-May). But SIGGRAPH is a professional event, not the sort of place where one normally launches a consumer graphics card. It’s possible that AMD plans to do a joint announcement at the show, with a combined professional and consumer launch, but we’re still wondering about what kind of availability and pricing AMD will be able to offer to the general market.

Best-case, the company has engaged in some sleight-of-hand to bring a more potent GPU to the consumer space than many are expecting.

Just to inject my opinion, Windows 10 is superior to Window 8.1 is virtually every way.

Hi,

This review of the AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition is just out:

For anyone interested in purchasing an AMD Vega Frontier Edition I just found the following Gamers Nexus Teardown:

AMD confirms Radeon RX Vega will launch at SIGGRAPH 2017

AMD will launch Radeon RX Vega at SIGGRAPH between July 30 and August 3 in LA

The official Radeon Twitter account tweeted: "We can't wait to announce our new Vega products, including RX at this year's #SIGGRAPH - make sure to follow us for more details". Boom. Radeon RX Vega confirmed for an early August reveal, but I'm confident we'll hear much more from AMD between then and now, and I'm sure some NDAs will be thrown onto the table, too.

AMD launched its new Radeon Vega Frontier Edition recently, with some so-so gaming performance that rivals a GeForce GTX 1070, but even some of the largest people in the tech industry - including influential tech YouTubers, are comparing its gaming performance against gaming-focused cards. It's not a gaming-orientated card, but a professional card that can game if the owner wants to, instead of switching between graphics cards for professional, and then personal/gaming use.

Radeon RX Vega will be tuned for gaming, so expect improved gaming performance over the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition. We'll know more about it soon, and I'm sure with the amount of content you see me writing every day - you can count on the latest on Radeon RX Vega as it happens here at TweakTown.

AMD confirms Radeon RX Vega will launch at SIGGRAPH 2017

So I have the FE's (had to get them for a test project) and my numbers are pretty much in line with what the other reviewers came up with. I expected these numbers for the most part, especially when it comes to the gaming side of things. Then again, I also did not get these cards to game with them.

One site I do not like to reference is "Videocardz", but so far their pre-release benchmarks have mostly been accurate and they've put a table up on what seems to be RX Vega, putting them in line with factory overclocked 1080's. Am I hyped up? You betcha - all I need now is my cooling manufacturer (EKWB) to come up with waterblocks with the next 2 months and I'll be a happy camper!

I hope it can compete with the GTX 1080ti
