Yes, but I'm buying that frontier edition;)

That's great I totally get your enthusiasm, I also can't wait to see Vega and as a Ryzen early adopter I get it. But I actually think you should probably wait to see the RX release before you buy anything if your goal is gaming. I haven't been keeping up with the latest info from the past couple days. But I get the feeling the FE is going to be a server (bit coin farming version) and the RX will have higher specs and better support for gaming.

Dabigsiebowski2964d ago

I'm telling you this as a nice guy on the internet. Do not buy the frontier edition unless you know it's true purpose. It is not meant for gaming and you will look like a fool if you ever show it to anyone who actually knows a thing or two.

Another day another graphics card.

Ashlen2964d ago

I get where your coming from. But Vega with it's HBM2 memory and new computational methods is really pushing the industry forward.

It's like Ryzen and it's 8c/16 threads at an incredibly cheap price (not to mention the 16/32 chip on the horizon) is forcing the industry to move forward with more cores. Increasing clock speed can only go so far, the utilization of more cores yields vastly more computations with much less power draw,

cartoonx12964d ago

same was said for fury x, but the extra bandwidth was not enough to compete against nvidia's highend. they really need to fix their driver support too, often times amd had better hardware gimped by their software support. but its been far too long since, i really hope this time they can release something thats atleast better thn 1080ti. no point in competing against 1080GTX-1070GTX that are almost an year old.

Ashlen2963d ago (Edited 2963d ago )

No, this is incorrect.

It doesn't have to be the absolute fastest card on the market to have an impact. Like Ryzen which for example isn't the fastest CPU on the market but it's the new tech of offering more cores cheaply that is what is moving the industry.

Vega with HBM 2 and it's new memory controller will be able to support terabyte(s) of memory as well as it's other architectural improvements that improve the way the graphics pipeline works for rendering. And as it stands the rumors are that the FE pushes 13tf+ and that the RX versions will have even higher clocks. So that would put it ahead of Nvidia.

And whats really important is the price. It's not just how much power it can offer it's price per performance. The fact of the matter is the highest end cards are not the ones that sell the most. The highest selling Ndvia cards aren't the 1080 and the 1080Ti it's the 1070 and the 1060.

Plus since the 480, driver support has been much better they have had new drivers released for most every big game.

Think that rumor that they'll still make a new console but at a profit at $1000 will be true though. The series consoles will remain their cheap alternative throughout next gen I would say. Keep in mind that game pass and pretty much going 3rd party is their main focus. They want to bring xbox everywhere.

If they don't maintain some kind of console presence, I think they will lose gamepass subscribers and just become a 3rd party publisher who eventually sells everything off

Xbox games are releasing on all platforms. Who needs this hardware? PS or PC is all you need

Flewid63812h ago

I've never owned an Xbox in my life and I have GamePass.

thorstein11h ago

The only Xbox I owned was the 360. I have gamepass for my PC.

GamerRN6h ago

Majority of Gamepass users are currently on console...

Even if they could get it down to $800 for a box that can run with comparable performance to a PS6 (at, say $200 cheaper) the population of people willing to buy such a thing would be so limited.
It would be the worst of both worlds.

Dark SNES Games Not Made For Kids

As consoles go, the SNES has quite the family friendly image. But, just like a Pizza Hut when you look at its hygiene rating or taste its pizza or breathe inside a restaurant, it’s not always good for everyone.

The golden age. No ESRB*. No ratings at all. It was glorious.

*I know the ESRB was formed by the industry to prevent others from stepping in and taking control.

Darkegg1d 21h ago

Interesting on ESRB. “ The industry, pressured with potential government oversight of video game ratings from these hearings, established both the IDSA and the ESRB within it to create a voluntary rating system based on the Motion Picture Association film rating system with additional considerations for video game interactivity.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/...

Is that how the industry isn’t required to offer consumers a transferable digital token to sell games they no longer play or maybe don’t like? And then treat us all like pirates? That’s how the government is not involved, they had to placate the situation to avoid oversight.
