AIDA64 Beta Adds Support for Upcoming RX 500 Series
As we inch ever closer to what is seemingly one of tech's least well-kept secrets (the launch of the RX 500 series), trickles of information keep appearing in various forms. Now, a Beta version of AIDA64 (version 5.90.4208 Beta for those of you keeping tabs) has added official support for AMD's upcoming RX 570 and RX 580 graphics cards.
These new cards are reported to be higher-clocked versions of the proven RX 480 and RX 470 graphics cards. There is some talk regarding how AMD is now employing a new, higher-efficiency LPP (Low Power Performance) process, which would allow this increase in clocks to fit around the same power envelope of their lower-clocked precursors, the RX 480 and RX 470. It may not mean much to either argument, but the fact that these chips are apparently still code-named Polaris 10 on AIDA64 could mean that no relevant changes in the production process have occurred.
The cards are expected to launch either on April 11th or April 18th, depending on whether previous rumors about a delay do materialize as truth. You can check the full release notes on this version of AIDA64 after the break.

They'll probably launch RX 500 first and Vega later.

preliminary support for AMD Zen 12-core and 16-core HEDT CPUs
As for the respins i doubt I'll be trading up at this rate , I'm going to give Vega a shot in this rig before swapping out the CPU etc ,it'll be interesting(likely just to me) to see just how it plays out with a sixth GPU upgrade.
Or if it's possible.
