That demo... all 16 threads up to 100% usage, damn!

 

[parvadomus]

omg this stream ended up being boring...

First Contact Entertainment game for VR. True innovation? New gun available in the game.

The f*** is this?

 

[.vodka]

This event is all over the place. Some focus would be appreciated...?

Still, all what's being shown is interesting.

edit... Kyle Bennett from [H]? What?

 

[Glo.]

Kyle Bennet from HardOCP on the stage of AMD event. What the hell?

And here I thought my Bingo card was worthless when I got that square.

 

[crisium]

Wish I could watch this. Even just a couple weeks ago Kyle was preaching to his minions that AMD still ignored him. What black magic is this?

 

[french toast]

Ok this is crap, that multi gpu sniper elite was awesome, likewise nitro2

Ooh beshesda, interesting ....

So RX vega, ok but nothing concrete?

Let down.

AMD throwing him a bone or Kyle came crawling on his knees? Either way Inside VR added to block list along with H.

For you guys, who are not that geeky about technology as I am, it is nothing interesting.

For me, technology is absolutely mind blowing. It feels like we are in mid 90's again, and first 3D games are being released. This shows where are with VR, and where it might end up, when you look at where 3D games ended.

Kyle must have seen a significant drop in readership/popularity when he was viewed as "anti-AMD."

Being pro-AMD in this environment is clearly good for business.

Partnership with Bethesda to get their engines up to date and working better with AMD hardware.

Excellent!

This is Game Developer's Conference. The audience is developers

Kyle Bennet from HardOCP on the stage of AMD event. What the hell?

Why was he on stage? I couldn't hear the audio for it. Ironic since he has done nothing but bash AMD regarding VR.

Excellent!

I would love to see them update ESO to DX12 or Vulkan. MMOs, especially ones with massive scale PvP, seem like a natural fit for next gen APIs.

Of course it is, we know what the event is and what the audience is.

Still, it could be argued that it could be more polished. I like what's being presented. How it's delivered is my point.

 

[nathanddrews]

Vega's branding name is...

Vega...?

LOL Why not?

 

[Bacon1]

"Gaming GPU will be called Radeon RX Vega" - Raja

 

[crisium]

Vega name? Really?

Well, they did want to call Zen "Zen" but couldn't because you can't copyright that. Guess this time they managed it. Codename is the new name.

 

[Glo.]

Few thoughts about the event. Products, and technology are great. Package, and the way you are serving it - is horrible.

It is like eating your favorite food straight from the floor. AMD must work on their presentations. And let Raja talk about hardware, but not try to "sell the hardware" on stage. He is an engineer, for god's sake.

It is actually obvious why. Vega has gotten into people minds so much that it is equated with a actual product. The brand strenght is too big to loose it.

AT's article about the event is up:

[Face2Face]

so RX Vega... I wonder how they plan on differentiating the product lineup?

Whenever I hear the name Vega this is what comes to my mind.

 

[Bacon1]

Seems like they want to wait until after Nvidia announces the 1080 Ti tonight to release any more details on Vega.

 

[french toast]

Some nice info.
Forward rendering being optimised.
Nitro 2 engine 8 core 100% utilization.
Sniper elite 100% multi gpu utilization.
Async multi projection? No explanation so i take as similar nvidias tech.
Bethesda partnership to optime for vulcan and 16 threads.
Rx vega branding.

Was hoping for some vega demos with comparisons with gtx 1080, perhaps they didnt to give anything away?
