The latest report said to be based upon "very reliable sources within AMD's Headquarters," claims that AMD will be releasing three enthusiasts Radeon RX Vega graphics card SKUs on 5th June. A few days earlier, at its press conference on 31st May, at Computex, AMD will be launching these graphics cards.
The claim is coming from the tech site Digiworthy that a trio of AMD Radeon RX Vega graphics cards launching to go head-to-head against Nvidia's top GeForce gaming cards. The AMD RX Vega Core priced at $399, RX Vega Eclipse Costs $499, and RX Vega Nova marked for $599 are calculating assassins aiming to take out the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070, GTX 1080, and GTX 1080 Ti respectively. AMD's new Radeon RX Vega line will be priced to be exciting alternatives to their Nvidia rivals while providing similar or better performance says publication.
In GPUs, AMD is not a natural 'value' player, so it will not be any surprise that it doesn't undercut Nvidia pricing to be attractive to enthusiasts. In this way, it's not going to be like the AMD Ryzen CPU launches. However, better performance than the respective rival targets is still expected, as reported by Hexus.
However, remember to obtain this rumored information with a pinch of salt or two. The true AMD Radeon RX Vega facts, tech details, availability, and pricing info, and even independent hardware reviews should be available before Q2 2017 ends.
AMD Radeon RX Vega Nova will reportedly be the Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti competitor priced at $599, while the AMD RX Vega Eclipse will be handling the Nvidia GTX 1080 at $499. AMD will be the price it's AMD Radeon RX Vega Core at $399 and will be capable of GTX 1070/1080 performance. AMD Vega should officially launch in the coming week following Computex.
