AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Video Card Pricing Revealed, Pre-Orders Surface

AMD Radeon’s latest and greatest yet-to-be-released Vega GPU showed up in listings from Sabre PC and Scan UK stores. This includes both the reference air-cooled version as well as the liquid-cooled Vega frontier. Other than the difference in cooling solution, the listings reveal that the specifications are identical. Both are operating at 1600MHz clock speeds and both cards have 16GB of HBM2 memory. For display outputs, both are equipped with three DisplayPorts and one HDMI port. The manufacturer code for the air-cooled version is 100-506061 while the liquid-cooled version is 100-506062. Just in case you want to hunt down the cards in your local retailer and see if it is listed anywhere else.

United Kingdom Pricing

Scan is based out of the UK and it appears that they have since pulled out the page displaying the Vega Frontier prices. Thankfully, the eagle-eyed folks over at Videocardz.com saved a screenshot displaying the pricing and information:

The air-cooled Radeon Vega frontier costs £1,139.99 while the liquid-cooled version is priced at £1,656.49. These are workstation cards and thus, priced higher than graphics cards for gaming so keep that mind. The listing also boasts the FP32 TFLOPS performance of 13.1. This is a distinct advantage compared to the NVIDIA Titan Xp which only hits 12 TFLOPS in FP32 peak single-precision performance. Professional workstation and HPC solution supplier Exxact Corporation outlines the performance difference in an overview article. The performance difference can be as stark as 69% in SolidWorks, and also showed 8% advantage in Cinebench.

United States Pricing

SabrePC is a California-based company providing workstation and HPC hardware solutions. Their pre-order page is still up and lists the Vega Frontier pricing at $1,199. The liquid-cooled version has a $1,799 price tag.
