AMD Confirms Radeon RX Vega is Launching at SIGGRAPH 2017

In a series of tweets, the official Radeon RX Twitter (and AMD employees) have confirmed what we were already told: that the gaming version of the company's Vega architecture would make its debut at this year's SIGGRAPH. Also, when asked about the Frontier Edition's (lacking) gaming chops, AMD's Jason Evangelho has come out with the warning that we all expected, and that we ourselves conveyed here: "it's premature to worry about a product's gaming performance by judging a different product NOT optimized for gaming."

We've waited a long time already, why not just a few more days? SIGGRAPH will take place between July 30th and August 3rd.

FordGT90ConceptGaming never uses anywhere close to 16 GiB. Those cards are intended for compute and render workloads.
Yes that is correct but the VEGA 16gb is more of an higher frequency since this is depended on the amount of stacks. Games don't use that much memory that's obvious. Maybe it has been changed and the top VEGA for gaming will equip 8GB of memory maximum.

8 GiB per stack is the maximum HBM2 can do. It's also available in 4 GiB, 2 GiB, and 1 GiB stacks. I don't think we'll be seeing a quad-stack like Fury X. If we do, it won't be Vega (doesn't have 1024-bit memory controller).

Made a cool $400 on AMD stock by buying when it plummeted. Time to roll that into a Vega card for my Ryzen rig. Freesync monitor so sticking with AMD.

I only hope this memory configuration will come along with the performance. otherwise bummer. :P

The obvious will be obvious. Moving along...
