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.

DETERGENT for 15 minutes. He seemed to enjoy it ...

Haven't seen real benchmarks yet but it isn't looking great. We're all in "wait and see" mode so i can't be too critical. People who have already invested in a FreeSync monitor will probably get a Vega and pray to the driver gods for some efficiency gains. My thoughts on this is if AMD is this far behind right now then what happens when NVIDIA releases their new flagship card in Q1 2018?
For how hot Vega 64 looks to be i would go liquid cooled. But then i would be thinking "damn, that's the same price as a GTX 1080 Ti !" and spend a month waffling on the purchase. I don't think this is a disaster but it looks grim : /
