The upcoming AMD Radeon RX Vega GPU family is designed for enthusiastic PC gamers as it promises to enhance the graphics of computers as well as virtual reality games. Gamers are anticipating its release as it could revolutionize the way gaming machines process data to render high-quality visuals. Here are the things you need to know about the AMD Radeon RX Vega.
Previously, AMD cards utilized both Polaris architecture and LiquidVR technology, which made it capable of producing good virtual reality (VR) experience. However, without high-end memory support, a fully immersive VR gaming performance is impossible to deliver.
According to Digital Trends, this is how the upcoming AMD Radeon RX Vega would solve the problem as a next generation graphics processing unit. GPUs are used fundamentally for 3D applications, and they come with the sort of a single-chip processor that works by generating realistic lighting effects to change all the objects every time a 3D scene is redrawn. Its mathematically-intense tasks usually put a strain on the CPU, but not the Radeon RX Vega.
The latest graphics processing makes things way easier for the CPU. In fact, AMD plans to launch its new high-end high-bandwidth memory (HBM2) powered graphics cards in two variants, 4GB and 8GB. There are rumors that the product might debut on May 30, during the Computex Convention. However, AMD may delay its launch for a special event ahead of E3 2017 on June 13.
AMD's new flagship chip promises to give users a graphics card that can finally compete with its rival, the Nvidia’s GPU stack. These Vega-based cards will transcend even Nvidia's (NASDAQ: NVDA) most powerful graphics card for gaming, while also supporting smooth 4K display.
