Getting Radeon RX Vega?

Divide Overflow · Aug 3, 2017

I'm eager for the reviews and to see what options non-reference models provide.

Me too but at what cost over the reference cards $$$

hapkiman · Aug 3, 2017

Negative.

CandymanGR · Aug 4, 2017

I am sticking with my GTX 1060 6gb (i am playing at 1080p). Waiting for Nvidia Volta, voted for "not upgrading".

XiGMAKiD · Aug 4, 2017

Still focusing on upgrading my CPU+MB+RAM and with the rumor about Vega is pretty good for mining, so yeah the answer is no.

But looking forward to read the review

amit_talkin · Aug 5, 2017

I am gonna stick with my 980Ti until black Friday

.

RealNeil · Aug 5, 2017

Will gladly read all about it. But no, I'm happy with 2 1080FE, 2 1070, three 980Ti, and two RX580s.

JalleR · Aug 5, 2017

No i will get a 1080TI

Aquinus · Aug 5, 2017

I wouldn't mind a new 4k and a new video card but, I don't commit to something without seeing the numbers first.

I would like to have one, just cause they seemed to have abandoned the R9 3xx series. But the only vega I really want, is the Vega FE for not only gaming but workstation stuff as well.

PLAfiller · Aug 6, 2017

"Sticking with Polaris" and "Not upgrading this round" can have the same meaning in a way. I mean I bought my RX560 two weeks ago or so. Yeah, I am skipping Vega, but you could also say I sticking with Polaris.

Melvis · Aug 6, 2017

my gtx 970 is fine for gaming at 1080P gaming so no upgrading for a yrs yet.

Hugis · Aug 6, 2017

Still happy with my 780ti classy I won here at TPU, thanks @Norton and @the54thvoid

I cannot vote.

I have a GTX 1060 6GB and I'm not upgrading to anything any time soon. Perhaps my next GPU will be GTX 3060 (or GTX 1260).

I'm in the same boat: all mid-rangers, only upgrading when performance jumps by 50% or so. I don't see the point otherwise.

That's exactly my reasoning. I'm upgrading only if I get at least a 70% performance increase GPU-wise and 50% CPU-wise. That's why I've been holding on against upgrading from Intel Core i5 2500. Nothing that Intel has released up to this moment (except their HEDT parts which are ridiculously expensive) beats it by 50%. In terms of IPC increase Intel has largely stagnated. Perhaps I will upgrade to Coffee Lake (6c/12t) - that'll be a tremendous increase in multithreaded performance (since I occasionally compile/encode). I'm all for competition but Ryzen hasn't really convinced me at all. My last AMD CPU was Athlon 64 X2 5200+ EE and I bought it only because Intel Core 2 at that time was extremely popular and equally overpriced.

I can confirm that. I went from 2500k to 6600k and the biggest gain was the motherboard. I now have PCIe 3.0, M.2 ports and a few USB 3.1 ports (one of them reversible). SpeedShift has improved so it can deliver cpmputing power faster when needed, but I can't say it makes a noticeable difference.

Waiting for Volta and 2018 OLED TV with HDMI 2.1. OLED itself will be the biggest jump in image quality coming from crappy LCD.

Eh, one day you'll look at OLED's shortcoming with the same disdain and forget about everything it brought to the table when introduced.

Keullo-e · Aug 9, 2017

Probably a Vega 56. Now kicking with GTX970SLI and no need to upgrade yet.

EarthDog · Aug 9, 2017

I wonder what this (feels incredibly premature) poll looks like before the release and a new one after.....

Capitan Harlock · Aug 9, 2017

Waiting reviews and aftermarket models .

Jism · Aug 11, 2017

Yep i'm buying it. Together with a 1950X and 64GB of DDR4 RAM. And a fat-ass SSD while i'm at it as well. There is no better moment to completely upgrade my current AMD system and still have best performance for the best possible price.

Durvelle27 · Aug 15, 2017

Need more reviews first with updates drivers and Overclocking

Capitan Harlock · Aug 15, 2017

I will wait for aftermarket cooling solutions and driver optimization too.
I didn't see so much difference vs my Fury X and didn't seems to be reasonable to got with Vega 64 instead of Vega 56 for a lot of things .
If good partner solutions comes out and drivers too Vega 56 is going to be my pick XD.

Still holding out for non-reference models. If I had to choose now I'd probably go with the 64. Leaning towards the Vega 64 mainly because of the 2nd bios,
