[videocardz] Vega postponed a few times according to aibs

[tential]

Although no one will officially confirm this, AMD Vega was postponed few times (according to AIBs). The reason for the delay is not related to any yield issues, but performance. AMD is clearly trying to boost it by optimizing software to the very last moment. This might also explain missing reviews of Frontier (even from the most trusted tech sites). The reality is that the very first person to provide gaming benchmarks of Vega Frontier is probably going to have the most popular content in months.

Pcper has a card on order. Will be interesting to see who gets their reviews out first. Or just even the first comparable bench.

I'd be interested to see their performance. Not changing my card anytime soon but it's nice to see how it will compare.

Sort of plays into the "Vega needs to be sold at least X due to HBM2 costs" talk.

Same. I was waiting for Vega at the start of the year but when the 1080Ti dropped I decided to get it. I'm not surprised if this is indeed true. The pathetic Vega demo at CES was the first warning lights that Vega might have performance issues.

Guys, we already have a whole thread dedicated to Vega leaks and rumors. And this doesn't really bring anything new to warrant a new thread.
