AMD finally shows off the latest Radeon RX Vega family of GPUs.
There are three variants of Radeon RX Vega: Radeon RX Vega 64 Liquid Cooled Edition, engineered with 64 compute units to be the most powerful Radeon ever built; the Radeon RX Vega 64 with air cooling, and the Radeon RX Vega 56.
Radeon RX Vega graphics cards are built on the “Vega” GPU architecture, putting pioneering graphics technologies previously reserved for high-end graphics products into the hands of enthusiast gamers. Packed with capabilities like Rapid Packed Math, the High Bandwidth Cache Controller and new Geometry and Pixel Engines, the Vega series will help push the performance envelope while gaming in low-level APIs like DirectX 12 and Vulkan, giving developers more flexibility in designing the most intricate and beautiful virtual worlds in games.
The Radeon RX Vega boasts a computational of up to 13.7 TFLOPS of peak performance to power through even the most demanding games and VR applications. Radeon RX Vega graphics cards support Radeon FreeSync technology; enabling smooth, vibrant HDR gaming4, 10-bit display support and low-framerate compensation. Radeon RX Vega graphics cards support HDMI 4K60 and DisplayPort 1.45, enabling high-resolution and high-refresh displays powering experiences such as Radeon FreeSync with high-refresh, Ultra HD, ultrawide, and single-cable 5K resolutions.
Designs feature a satin-brushed aluminium shroud, an anodised aluminium backplate, customisable GPU tach meter and iconic LED illumination, and controls for dual vBIOS. Air-cooled versions boast the latest isothermic vapour chamber for maximum heat displacement while the liquid-cooled version features a next-generation cooling design incorporating a high-efficiency pump, zero-bend radius tubing and a Nidec Gentle Typhoon fan for quiet operation.
Radeon Packs
Built around the new Radeon RX Vega graphics cards, Radeon Packs are designed to allow gamers to make upgrades much more cost-effectively than were they to buy each component alone to drive silky 60+ frame-per-second 4K gaming in more than 100 popular titles.
Radeon Packs include a $200 discount on the 34” Samsung CF791 curved ultrawide FreeSync monitor, and a $100 discount on select Ryzen 7 1800X processor and 370X motherboard combos — $300 in combined hardware savings.
There are three options for Radeon RX Vega:
- Radeon Red Pack – Featuring the Radeon RX Vega 56, an air-cooled card priced at $499 SEP.
- Radeon Black Pack – Featuring the Radeon RX Vega 64, an air-cooled card priced at $599 SEP.
- Radeon Aqua Pack – Featuring the Radeon RX Vega 64 Liquid Cooled Edition, priced at $699 SEP.
Along with the Radeon RX Vega graphics card, the discount on the Samsung monitor with Radeon FreeSync and Ryzen CPU+motherboard, each Radeon Pack also includes, in select regions, two highly anticipated games in Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus and Prey for free, an estimated $120 value.
AMD is also offering the Radeon RX Vega 56 on its own, under SEP $400, and the Radeon RX Vega 64 air-cooled card priced at SEP $499. Radeon Packs and Radeon RX Vega graphics cards are expected to be available starting August 14th.
