AMD Reveals Its Most Powerful GPUs with Vega at Siggraph 2017
Finally, the wait is over. At Siggraph 2017, AMD revealed its most powerful range of graphics cards. Known as Vega, these GPUs are aimed at the high-end gaming enthusiast market. The RX Vega family of cards will launch with two major variants, the Radeon RX Vega 56 and the Radeon RX Vega 64 on 14th August. Vega 56 is the base model, comes with 56 compute units and will come at a price on USD 399. On the other hand, the Vega 64 has 64 compute units and will cost about USD 499. Both cards will have 8GB of VRAM. Additionally, AMD is also releasing three different packs, each with its own sets of features. Both the Vega 56 and 64 are air cooled by default, but there will also be a liquid cooled version of Vega 64 which is only available as part of one of the aforementioned Radeon packs. Each p...

AMD’s Vega GPUs Will Be Available In 4GB and 8GB Variants
AMD held a tech summit over the weekend in Beijing. They talked about the upcoming Vega GPUs, and though there wasn’t much new information revealed, they did mention that the there will be variants of the new GPUs, a 4 GB and an 8 GB. One key point that AMD made regarding Vega is the High Bandwidth Cache Controller (HBCC), which will allow better use of VRAM, meaning that even the 4 GB GPU can perform very well. Considering that most games don’t push beyond the 4-6 GB limit, this could be a major performance boost. Additionally, both the variants will use HBM2, and most likely with the same bandwidth of 512 GB/s. Another important piece of information AMD revealed was that Vega GPUs will also may their way to gaming notebooks. Here the compact layout of HBM2 could prove advanta...
