Calm you tits guys, Vega is imminent but i hope it will release as AMD want it and not crippled by GoFlo manufacturing process.
New video by NerdTechGasm about in-depth (pre)-review from Vega architecture revealed slides. Good video long video imo though i don't really understand some of it.
We already speculate some of it like tiled rendering, geomeotry throughput improvement but still interesting nonetheless.
I hope he stay making this type video instead of going "mainstream" for more clicks.
How does rx560 compare to 1050ti in terms of performance and price? Main game is rocket league =D
Performance wise 1050 Ti is still faster imo, if they price it similar or higher compare to RX460 then 1050 Ti will win price/performance too for around RM700-RM800.
Hi, I just updated my old amd driver to crimson driver 17.1
Can tell me why I cannot go to that section where u can set the settings for every application? meaning i want this application to run at certain settings and I need to import the 'exe' of that software?
you should still able to set profile for each games/softwares in Crimson.

AMD card good for bit coin mining? why heavy depend on GPU for mining rather than CPU?
Alternate coins, mostly Ethereum i think. Bitcoin or many other famous Coins difficulty is too high for consumer GPU to make good profit or any profit since there is ASIC available for the job that give good hashrate while using much less power.
In Vega Frontier Edition page they said this. "To learn more about the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition graphics card, visit http://radeon.com/frontier and we’ll be providing further details by mid-June"
Not launch but details.
Then told us to wait longer for "lower-priced" gaming optimized Vega. I interpret that as let us sell these Vega aim at professionals with high profit margin first for awhile until price for HBM2 come down considerably. Vega for gamer in 2018.
Actually on recent Reddit AMA with Raja Koduri he mentioned that they will show RX Vega on upcoming Computex 2017 late this month but it will only available on store later which i hope few more weeks after that or in July at most.
Some recap from the AMA thanks to DrawStreamRasterizer
Main goal of Vega was to create an architecture that can handle large data sets and game at 4K at 60fps.
The demo during Financial Analyst day was an air-cooled Frontier Edition, not an RX Vega card. There will be water cooled versions of Vega that will run slightly faster.
Frontier uses 2 x 8GB stacks of HBM2.
Both HBM1 and HBM2 provide plenty of bandwidth.
Raja will look into OC'ing HBM2 and a 16GB RX card.
RX Vega will be shown at Computex. It will not be available the same week but nothing else has been ruled out.
Frontier runs comfortably using 1x6-pin and 1x8-pin but RTG put 2x8-pin on the production card for more headroom.
Raja is keeping his beard until Vega launches.
Infinity fabric allows for the joining of multiple engines on a single die, and offers high bandwidth and low latency.
There has been no mention of using Infinity fabric with multiple GPUs.
Frontier was designed for an array of workload usages. RX Vega is for gaming and will be faster than Frontier.
Vega will support Tensorflow, Cafe2, Cafe, Torch7 and MxNet via MIOpen.
Pro versions support hardware virtualization. He did not state out right if this included Frontier/Vega or or not.
The High Bandwidth Cache Controller (HBCC) helps increase minimum framerates and can improve performance even more if it's specifically coded for.
Developing drivers for GPUs is really hard.
Raja expects to grow ROCm to improve machine learning and compute. Another ROCm comment.
Raja replies to a comment regarding particle physics simulation, saying this will be improved via the new cache and infinity fabric.
New geometry pipeline in Vega improves throughput per clock cycle and will require no extra work on dev's part to utilize.
Radeon Vega Frontier will be the fastest single GPU solution for compute.
Radeon Instinct will provide dramatically better performance per dollar compared to the competition
RX will have different drivers than Frontier that are optimized for gaming as well as additional goodies.
Vega is the first GPU architecture to use Infinity Fabric and is in no way a re-hash of Polaris
Radeon Chill will continue to be improved and will be updated soon.

Hi, want to ask is there any solution for PC-to-PC game stream for AMD R9 280X? Eg: stream from my bedroom gaming pc to living room weak PC. I looked around and I can only find solution for Steam specific games, as well as NVidia solutions.
I tried Splashtop, really really bad. Any other possible recommendation?
I don't think there is any alternative for Nvidia gamestream other than using Steam home streaming.
Can't you add games to Steam and use it streaming feature?

Support For -Prey® Up to 4.5% performance improvement measured on Radeon RX 580 8GB graphics when compared to Radeon Software Crimson ReLive edition 17.5.1(1)
Fixed Issues -NieR™: Automata may experience a random hang or application crash after short periods of gameplay. -Forza™ Horizon 3 may experience very long map/launch load times. -The primary display adapter may sometimes appear disabled in Radeon Settings while driving a display from the linked adapter in Multi GPU system configurations. -Radeon RX 550 series graphics products may experience a system hang when entering sleep or hibernate modes.
alright then, which brand does better performance/cooling/OC/RMA? Sapphire or ASUS?
For R9-Fury? Sapphire Nitro offer best cooling performance and Asus Strix come in close 2nd but aesthetically i prefer Fury Nitro, one of the best looking card in recent years imo.
OC wise 1150mhz is good, 1200mhz is damn good. The chip is not known for overclocking capability btw, i'm not surprise if you can't get it past 1120mhz.
this is what i found on the net, concerning vega performance (not very convincing/positive)
quoted from notebookcheck: " CEO Lisa Su, however, held a press demonstration to reveal the new 16-core Ryzen Threadripper processor with support for 64 PCIe lanes set to launch this Summer. She also showed off a PC equipped with Threadripper and two unnamed Vega GPUs in Crossfire running Prey in 4K resolution at a locked 60 FPS. According to our own benchmarks, a single GTX 1080 already averages around 71 FPS in Prey when on the same 4K resolution, so the fact that AMD chose to use two Vega GPUs to achieve roughly the same ballpark results isn't very telling of what a single Vega GPU can bring to the table. "
If AMD picked the best benchmark (i.e. the benchmark where they got the best result), then vega is already in deep trouble if crossfired cards cannot achieve the same performance as one GTX 1080.
side note i couldn't get any result googling for RX580 in CF mode doing Prey for 4k resolution, for reference
According to Raja those card ran "comfortably well above any single GPU".
From TPU benchmark 1080 barely meet 60fps average@4K.
thanks... interesting read. but it does not do anything to dispel any doubts, eh... maybe by design? i mean, maybe they want to keep us in doubt for now?
anyway, the demo by AMD CEO quoted by notebookcheck was apparently "locked at 60 fps." if this is indeed true, it doesn't really mean that it was the limit for the setup. however, locking the fps just fail (to me, at least) to demonstrate the potential that threadripper has, or even the vega Xfire setup.
Yup, i think they want to destroy Vega hype train. Hopefully they didn't re-create unnecessary hype near launch day.
I recall many complaint about the demo seem stuttered/full with screen tearing which mean it's not locked at 60fps imo. That could also mean it ran below 60fps.
The demo they show simply mean "look we got it running, at 4K ;D" to me, not showcasing their performance.
