AMD Radeon RX Vega 64, RX Vega 56, RX Vega Nano Official Slides, Full Specifications Detailed – Flagship Model Compared To The NVIDIA GTX 1080, Has 300W TDP
..AMD has also announced the new Radeon Pack promotion with their Radeon RX Vega graphics cards. These include the following:
Radeon AquaPack with RX Vega 64 Liquid Cooled for $699 Radeon Black Pack with RX Vega 64 Air Cooled for $599 Radeon Red Pack with RX Vega 56 for $499
The AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 Liquid, Air and reference models will be shipping with these packs. The starting price of the Radeon Red pack is $499 US for the reference model which grants you two free games (Wolfenstein II and Prey 2). The higher priced Radeon Black Pack for $599 US grants you the game and a $100 US discount on a Ryzen 7 CPU while the top end Radeon Aqua pack will get you all of the above plus $200 off of an Samsung ultra-wide Freesync monitor for just $699 US...
The reveal did not add much to what had been rumored and leaked.
August release (ASUS has a custom card coming out August 14 -- so, not just Reference cards). Package-pricing or card-only-pricing (packages are surmised for the purpose of keeping "miners" from buying all the cards). Looks like the basic air cooled RX Vega list price is $500. Performance similar to GTX1080 was hinted -- with better minimum framerates hinted.
We won't know for sure what we've got until the cards are released and we see the independent test reports -- nominally during August.
