A glimmer of hope for AMD RX Vega.
Sure they are a year late and the power consumption from what I've seen is beastly, but let's not forget:
-
The card hasn't even launched yet, wait for reviews.
-
Driver improvements may help with things like power draw and allow for higher gains with Vega over the Fury cards.
-
According to userbenchmark, the Vega Frontier Edition card holds it's own against a GTX 1080 despite still having very young driver support and a few features disabled.
I'm going to buy Vega anyway and help out AMD. Clearly something went wrong during launch and there are rumors circulating that RTG has had some funding cuts, so hopefully my purchase will help them develop Navi and come out on top for a change.
Either way, hating a card before it launches is a little silly.
