RE: AMD's Radeon RX Vega 64 might just be a miner's dream
Its a very aesthetically pleasing piece of hardware. On paper, the mining potentual looks good. I saw some leaked benchmarks that suggest the Vega 56 is about on par with the 1070; however there are higher lower minimum framerates at 1440p.
I feel like nvidia will counter with a price drop to the 1070 to keep it as the first choice for gamers.
The driver development story will be interesting to follow for the vega chips as I feel we will see real improvement as these mature.
Excellent post. :)
Fairly certain Vega 56 will be faster than the gimped 1070. I agree about the development story. Not just drivers, but as games start to utilize Vega's new features. Particularly in the coming years, I can see the Vega 56 outperforming even the GTX 1080 - the raw specifications are just so far ahead.
