[Videocardz rumour] Vega pushed forward to October

Seems likely, but I think they will try to push the clocks to try to compete with the 1080. So it will end up being 250W. If they were not so far behind 190W @ around 1050MHz would be great. But I fear it is going to have to be pushed to 1200MHz simply out of dire need to compete.

Fury Nano at 175W TDP is only (Average) 10% slower than GTX 1070 and 20% slower than GTX 1080 in DX-12/Vulkan at 2560x1440.
Increase CUs from 64 to 72, increase CU performance by 10-15% + add another 100-150MHz from 14nm and you can have a Vega at 175W TDP that is faster than GTX 1080 in DX-12/Vulkan and ~10% slower at DX-11. You can increase the TDP to 220W TDP and gain another 10-15% higher performance.

No. Solve the scheduler, so it can handle 4096 GCN cores, in the first place. Scheduler, was taken out strictly from Hawaii/Grenada, that is why it was marginally faster than R9 390X in DX11 games.

Using Polaris CU technology would already make the GPU 15% at the same core clock as Nano, and we do not take into account higher bandwidth, higher potentially rasterizing performance, everything that is crucial for performance of the GPU.

And I will say this again. IMO 4096 GCN core GPU with 16 GB of HBM2 is the high - end part that is competing with Pascal Titan X. RX Fury potentially?

Not in a million years, a 64 CU Vega will only compete against GP204.

Except infractions and bans are handed out then.

Sounds like a rounds-about mod callout.
