A triumphant return to high-end gaming GPU’s for team red with the AMD RX Vega. What we have here, is the most powerful Radeon GPU ever. Let’s take a look at this new hardware.
Recently, I wrote an article detailing the possible specs of a PS5 console. In that article, I speculated that in some form or another, a version of this AMD Vega would make it into the console. Now, AMD has officially launched the most powerful Radeon GPU they’ve ever made, the AMD RX Vega. This is a true return to high-end gaming by Team-Red. AMD has capitalised on value GPU and staying out of the High-end battle, dominated by nVidia. This changes everything. They’ll be going toe-to-toe with the Big Green giant. Vega will come in 3 flavours, RX Vega 64 Air-cooled. RX Vega 64 Liquid-cooled. And finally the RX Vega 56 air-cooled. All the above will have 8 GB of HBM2 memory and be packing a 2048-bit memory interface. Check out the full specs below.
