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.

    This is a generous offer, thank you. I hope at least I can reimburse your packaging and shipping costs.

    Please send an email to imbrie2 who is at the domain zotline doubt com. (Of course I hope you will doubt part of that address.) I will then reply with a mailing address.

    It looks like the 270 is the better card, though I've already proven myself pretty poor at selecting. This page makes me think there are only drivers for WXP. (I'm on W7.)

    For the 6970 I hear it runs hot and the fans are loud. Has that been your experience?
