AMD to Release Full Range of Vega Graphics Cards

AMD is set to unveil a full range of new Radeon graphics cards based on its new Vega architecture, according to reports. Anonymous sources have confirmed to Fudzilla that AMD will be making a major push against market leader NVIDIA in the coming year, launching GDDR 5 – and possibly GDDRX 5 – models “soon.”

“Vega architecture will be introduced into the complete range of AMD’s graphics cards,” reports Fudzilla’s Fuad Abazovic. “Our knowledgeable industry friends have told us that you can expect top to bottom designs based on Vega architecture arriving soon.”

“Last year when AMD showcased Vega on its roadmaps, many assumed that this is will be the HBM 2 card and they were right,” Abazovic explains. “There is an HBM 2 card based on Vega architecture that should attack Nvidia in the high-end space.”

“But there will also be other cards, as Vega hits other memory interfaces and not just the HBM 2,” Abazovic adds. “You can expect to see GDDR5 variants too. Our sources had no information if there will be GDDR5X card based on Vega architecture but it would not surprise us. Nvidia made a good product using this type of memory as it sits at the right price/performance ratio.”

AMD is yet to release a high-end graphics card capable of competing with NVIDIA’s beastly GeForce GTX 1080 and Titan X, but hopefully the new Vega Radeon range may see the emergence of a worthy competitor.
