Stepping away from the Ryzen hype train...

I thought I would go ahead and start to move some focus off OF Ryzen.

AMD has the RX5xx in-coming in April-ish.

Unfortunately, rumor has it that it will be re-brands of the 480 ect...

Feel free to chime in on your thoughts!
Thy already stated that Vega, will be called Vega. If they are going to rebrand cards, those aren't Vega. 👹

"VEGA will be released later, quite honestly expect that to be released end of May/June in the Computex time frame"

Obviously.....
Well if the prices are worth the price to performance then it's okay.
Seems they have possibly delayed until April 18th:

I prefer intel, AMD has always had cooling problems so the difference that you make in priucing will be made up just to cool the processor. At the end of the day, Intel is more stable and I think about down the track.
Man, this sucks. I just bought my RX 480 like a week ago.

I don't see the 580 being that much better than the 480....
I mean it should have a few more cores and a little faster clock speed but it's still based on the 480....

If anything higher overclocking potential would be the main difference.

ohhh lol GPU, yeah still prefer nvidia on this one. It's an each to their own situation.
Not a fan of rebranding. I hope they give us something a little different...

You wanna say AMD had cooling issues?

You mean reference 290's running hot? One single card from AMD.


What about Nvidia's Fermi line that literally melted motherboards if you tried to run furmark.


Old meme from the Fermi days.

The clocking is something that they really gotta work on AMD needs to just tell Global Foundries to fuck off and use Samsung.

But it's so true!

AMD takes time to get their drivers optimized where Nvidia is generally fast out of the gate but gets worse as time goes on.
Just adding

Like Pentium 4 from Intel and Athlon 64 arquitecture from AMD
