    AMD’s resident graphics guru Raja Koduri has revealed a bunch of new information regarding RX Vega that it is for sure to excite Radeon fans. So let’s get down to juicy details.

    Gaming AMD Radeon RX Vega Card are faster & cheaper than frontier edition is the first big piece of news that Raja has unveiled is that gaming oriented Vega graphics cards will, in fact, be much better optimized for gaming and will not only deliver better performance but do so at lower price point.

    Consumer RX will be much better optimized for all the top gaming titles and flavors of RX Vega will actually be faster than Frontier version!

    This is actually quite the shocker, considering that AMD’s Frontier Edition is already a 25+ TFLOPS monster and according to Raja is the world’s fastest Compute GPU.

    On the compute side of things..Vega FE will be the fastest single GPU solution (>12.5 TFlops FP32) when it’s available and our NCU packs several additional optimizations, including Rapid-Packed-Math which delivers >25 TFLops of FP16

    Gaming Vega Will be Showcased At Computex

    Raja also confirmed that the gaming oriented Radeon RX Vega will be showcased at this upcoming Computex less than two weeks from now.

    We’ll be showing Radeon RX Vega off at Computex, but it won’t be on store shelves that week. We know how eager you are to get your hands on Radeon RX Vega, and we’re working extremely hard to bring you a graphics card that you’ll be incredibly proud to own. Developing products with billions of transistors and forward-thinking architecture is extremely difficult — but extremely rewarding — work. And some of Vega’s features, like our High Bandwidth Cache Controller, HBM2, Rapid-Packed Math, or the new geometry pipeline, have the potential to really break new ground and fundamentally improve game development. These aren’t things that can be mastered overnight. It takes time for developers to adapt and adopt new techniques that make your gaming experience better than ever. We believe those experiences are worth waiting for and shouldn’t be rushed out the door. We’re working as hard as we can to bring you Radeon RX Vega.

    On HBM2, we’re effectively putting a technology that’s been limited to super expensive, out-of-reach GPUs into a consumer product. Right now only insanely priced graphics cards from our competitors that aren’t within reach of any gamer or consumer make use of it. We want to bring all of that goodness to you. And that’s not easy! It’s not like you can run down to the corner store to get HBM2. The good news is that unlike HBM1, HBM2 is offered from multiple memory vendors – including Samsung and Hynix – and production is ramping to meet the level of demand that we believe Radeon Vega products will see in the market.

    Raja also commented around challenge associated with HBM2 ramp add credence to our thesis that 9month long HBM 2 delay pushed AMD’s Vega launch much further back than the company had hoped for or either intended.

    Gaming RX Vega Cards To Come With Additional “Goodies” Versus The Frontier Edition

    RX will be fully optimized gaming drivers, as well as a few other goodies that I can’t tell you about just yet….But you will like FE too, if you can’t wait:)

    Raja also confirmed Vega cards at least Frontier Edition models, it will come in two versions. An air cooled version like that one he showcased at AMD’s Financial Analyst Day earlier this week and the liquid cooled version that will be faster thanks to higher clock speeds.

    Is there a difference in performance/clock speed between the water and the air cooled version or is one just quieter/cooler? A: There will be a slight difference in clock speeds, and therefore performance as well.
