AMD has announced two new GPUs, the Radeon RX Vega 64 and 56. The GPUs are named in reference to the amount of "compute units" included. Both GPUs have 8 GB of High Bandwidth Memory 2.0 VRAM and will be released on August 14.

The Vega 64 is priced at $500 and is said to be on par with Nvidia's GeForce GTX 1080. The GTX 1080 was released on May 27, 2016 and has a TDP 105 Watts lower than the Vega 64.

    What the hell did you buy, and what the hell are you running that gets 7 FPS? I think you can get better than that with integrated graphics on almost any game these days. And the "locking up for 30 seconds" makes me suspect an entirely different issue is behind it all - that sounds more like thrashing swap than a GPU issue, despite your claim that you had plenty and no disk bottleneck.
