In addition to the release date, the database describes the Radeon RX Vega as having the following features: a 1 GHz core GPU clock, with a 1.2 GHz boost clock, and 8 GB of HBM2 memory running at 1 GHz (2 GHz effective). The Vega seems to carry a dual memory controller, doubling the memory bus width to 2048-bit, when compared to first generation HBM. The graphics engine contains 4096 shader units, as we'd already reported a month ago. It counts 256 TMUs, 64 ROPs and 64 compute units. The total computing power of Vega is 9.8 Tflops, shy of the GTX 1080 Ti's 10.6 Tflops.

If the information contained on the site is accurate, we would recommend that AMD fans wait with bated breath until full benchmarks are available because, according to TPU, AMD's best effort is lagging behind Nvidia's (non-Ti) GTX 1080 and is considerably slower than a GTX 1080 Ti, in 1080p gaming. It's been our experience that AMD fares better when you up the resolution and level the playing field. For a card of this caliber, 1080p is indeed not the resolution you'll be playing at.

But with 64 ROPs, best of luck pushing those pixels.

Huh?

It literally says:

Based on TPU review data: "Performance Summary" at 1920x1080
Radeon RX Vega performance estimated based on architecture, shader count and clocks.

This is an estimation based on a previous leak (TPU made it shortly after the leak that showed a 1200mhz sample if I remember right so the date it was added here makes no sense unless it was re-added/Edited). The only bits of info on that that are facts are the memory config, the render config (@1200mhz for the Pixel, Texture and FP32 rates) and the board design (TDP will likely change as well), everything else (including the frequency) is either guesswork or from that compute benchmark leak earlier, for comparison heres TPU's entry for the Vega Based MI25

Otherwise that Poor Volta is just what it is like all the past hype, overclockers dream etc.

Even Ti would be a bit too late already if you ask me.

This is concerning for me as i play on 1080p.. Oh well, back to waiting again i guess, for Volta to see what it offers. Not gonna catch my breath as usually pre release benchmarks are quite close to the release, unless if they are faked. Probably 10-20% difference at the most for the final release.

Sick of the Nvidia milking, bad drivers and near non-existent SLI support.
Nvidia drivers are fine here.

CF is just as bad. Multi GPU is slowly dying. Less and less support on game release.

Multi GPU, never again. I'll rather lower graphics quality and get a smooth experience, than having to deal with issues, stutter, terrible frametimes, bad scaling or downright lack of support.

Why would people believe that Vega is a 1Ghz video card, about 20-25% better than a 2 year old Fury X ?

It doesn't make any sense.
Who would believe the 580 is only 4% faster than a 290, a 4-year old card? Because it is.

Vega may very well be 1200Mhz boost clock and around 1080 performance or a little less as estimated by its DOOM and BF performance.

Well to the first point, the 580 exists and people have benched it.

This on the other hand is a webpage with information we known to be factually incorrect about vega
