AMD’s Scott Wasson talks about the future of Radeon
I listened. He said nothing we don't know.
When specifically asked about when RX Vega will actually be available to buy in quantity -- his answer was actually non-committal. I would like to hear what's really going on behind the scenes. Seems something is wrong.
He strongly implied -- no more RX Vega reference cards. Those were all made by AMD, I once read. Sellers just put their logos on them. Apparently, AMD won't make them anymore for some unspoken reason.
For now, look for overpriced but often sold out custom RX Vega cards.
Looks like Nvidia has the higher end market (RX Vega vs 1070 and up) to themselves for a few more months -- and maybe much longer.
Competition is good -- but on high end GPUs there will be no competition for months
