# Computex2017: AMD talks about the AMD RX Vega, but does not teach or give data

AMD talks about the AMD RX Vega in the Keynote of Computex 2017, talking about a possible launch / presentation in SIGGRAPH 2017 and little else, since it has not shown any prototype or has given specifications on these graphics.

AMD Vega graphics cards are already almost a year late and everything indicates that we will have to wait more. According to AMD until July we will not see the first AMD RX Vega, as he said this morning in the Keynote that they have given in Computex 2017. We have data that points to September and that is that AMD would be following in the trail of NVIDIA, launching a version first assembler and would later let manufacturers customize this graphics card. AMD's problem is precisely NVIDIA and its graphics cards.

To date, NVIDIA has no competition in the high-end range and AMD's latest invention for the mid-range is absurd and not worth it, so much so that an AMD RX 580 consumes the same as the GTX 1080 Ti, therefore it that you save in price, you will pay it in electricity in excess. Returning to Vega, it is AMD's solution to compete with NVIDIA's GTX 10xx Series, a family that we will see replaced in September / October of this year by Volta GPUs.

AMD curiously has chosen the SIGGRAPH 2017 event as the central axis and where the AMD RX Vega will be presented and it will be that moment when the AMD graphics cards finally see the light. It is curious in this regard that they have not given data on their AMD RX Vega graphics cards, not a single piece of information, we have not even seen one of these graphics for gaming, but it is curious as a few days ago, at the investor conference, They showed the Frontiers Edition, something that caught our attention.

EXCLUSIVE: AMD VEGA FOR GAMING WILL NOT REACH THE MARKET UNTIL SEPTEMBER, AS SOON

The main point in favor of AMD Vega is that they will work with HBM2, therefore they will be endowed with a large bandwidth for memory, something that can increase the performance of this graphics card. AMD faces another problem and that is that the HBM2 is not that it can be found anywhere and in the amount that you want, currently the stock of these memories is quite limited and it is not known when it will be in greater quantities, so Therefore, we must add another problem to the already existing problem.

Lisa Su has worn a Keynote that has not really disappointed, at least in the Vega field, since we have not seen the graphics card, we have not seen technical data of these graphics cards and the 'gameplay' they have put, moving Prey, it could be with a Vega, with a Polaris or with a GTX 1080 Ti SLI, because there is neither data from the graphics card nor does the FPS counter appear. One more AMD event, without heat or cold.

    1. As we already knew that we would not see an AMD Vega, we went to sleep and rest, to face the day with strength.

        1. Do not say anything that makes a capture and among the group of death they insult you and such, do not say anything that they are watching you.

  1. Okay, 580 consumes like a boring heroin addict on a Sunday afternoon, but it doesn't reach 1080ti either, it stays above 1080, which is absurd in itself.
