Details for AMD’s upcoming range of Vega powered graphics cards have started to emerge, with the top dog, the Radeon Instinct MI25 outperforming Nvidia’s Pascal powered Titan X graphics cards handily in certain applications, and crushing Maxwell without issue. Currently, there are three distinct versions of the MI range, the MI6, MI8 and finally, the.

AMD’s Polaris range of graphics cards perhaps represents one of the companies most successful and also frustrating products for a number of years for hardware enthusiasts. While all of the cards (perhaps most notably the RX 480) are damn impressive given their respective price point, the lack of any competitor to Nvidia’s higher end.

AMD’s Radeon RX 490 is one of the most mysterious graphics cards in recent memory; a GPU we were certain would have appeared on retail shelves by this point. But yet this is evidently not the case, and as 2016 is drawing to the close and rumours of Vega take over the news, we’re.

The AMD rumor mill has been busy of late, but not quite as busy as AMD themselves. The company are planning to enter 2017 with a bang, fully replacing its processor lineup with Zen and readying to release Vega, which is the follow up to their highly successful Polaris range of graphics cards. But.

AMD’s current lineup of Polaris graphics cards is steering the company back on track to be once again highly competitive to Nvidia’s range of discrete graphics cards – but only up until the mid range. With the absence of the RX 490 GPU, the most powerful Polaris based card in AMD’s arsenal is the.

There’s one certainty in the graphics industry – nothing is stagnant. Earlier this year AMD released the Polaris range of graphics cards, spanning from the RX 460 all the way up to the Radeon RX 480, but these rumors show that we’re we’ll be seeing new revisions of Polaris which offers a large boost.

It’s been a pretty interesting couple of weeks in the GPU industry (okay, that’s a subtle understatement), with a whole slew of news from both Nvidia and AMD on upcoming graphics cards and architectures. But Vega news is particularly prevalent at the moment, and another source has popped up citing that we’ll not only.

Like the expected lull in a storm, news from AMD went pretty quiet for a few months after the firm released their Polaris lineup of graphics cards. Since then, most of the news coming from the coming has been focused on their upcoming next generation CPU’s, Zen. But times are a changing as yet.

AMD’s plans for Vega 10 are starting to come together, and if the latest rumors are accurate we could see the company show off the long away next generation Radeon products by the end of the year. With the release of Vega 10, the company are hoping to counter Nvidia’s iron grip of the.

AMD did quite the shakeup of the mainstream graphics cards earlier this year with the release of the Polaris lineup of cards, comprising of the RX 460, RX 470 and finally RX 480. But we’ve been waiting for the company to jump into the bleeding edge arena, with silicone capable of pushing the frames.
