AMD CEO : Gaming RX Vega Launching "Very Soon" After Frontier Edition - Out By July At The Latest
Dr. Lisa Su, President & CEO at AMD
We’re very excited about Vega. Vega is a brand new architecture and actually has really the world’s most advanced memory architecture for GPUs. What we did announce at our analyst day was that the first shipping Vega will be the Frontier Edition which will ship with 16GB of memory and will ship towards the latter half of June. You will see the enthusiast gaming platform, the machine learning platform, the professional graphics platform very soon thereafter. And so we will be launching Vega across all of the market segments over the next couple of months.
I pray AMD releases Windows 8.1 drivers for it, because I found a nice little jewel Amazon.com: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 XTREME Gaming Water Cooling Video Card (GV-N1080XTREME W-8GD): Computers & Accesso… and I'd rather jump to Team Green than Windows 10, though I'm wondering if I should be holding my breath after seeing no support for the RX 580...
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.
