i have an i3-6100 3.7GHz, 2 cores 4 threads. will buying an rx vega be pointless? will the cpu bottleneck the performance?

Oh yeah, Budapest, so if you're around there, you know the drill from last time:
>If you're in Budapest or Portland, go take some videos and leak them here, then leak them to VideoCardz so they can then be leaked here too

>>61416193
I wish i could.
Anyway CLC one is nicely overprovisioned.
I wonder if they are going to demo it with TBR and primitve shaders enabled.
Because it's motherfucking time.

Cut down Vega for $350 pls Raja

>>61416208
Maybe Vega11 and maybe Q1 2018.

>>61416208
$299

>>61416218
By which time we'll also have GV102/GV104 right? Seriously AMD need to hurry the fuck up. I want to get into the adaptive sync meme but no way am I paying the G-Sync tax

update: i googled and tried this calculator with an nvidia 1080 and it says i will get 23% bottleneck. how bad is that?
even if it is bad i will need to upgrade my GPU anyway, and since rx 580s are overpriced as fuck (even after miners selling them back) i thought buying an rx vega would be a smart choice.

>>61416208
three products kind of imply that
water cooled variant probably will be 600-650 max
step lower 450-500
and 300-350

>>61416716
>i googled and tried this calculator
Dumb normalshits

>>61416170
Will Vega come in a blue edition?

>>61416716
it's going to be bad. I'd spend money on infrastructure first before GPU, or just get 560/1050ti for now

>>61416716
What should I do now?

>>61416815
Get a new GPU so it doesn't bottleneck your graphic card

>>61416815
get a third GPU, that surely will help

>>61416831
And then get a fourth.

>>61416804
certainly not in a green.

I think I saw some rendered images with a black/red scheme, but I don't think that they are official.

If you mean a water-cooled version, then probably yes, since it's basically the same die.

>wait for vega

Why did I believe... Why do they always have to disappoint me

>>61419357
>they
Who?

AMD whole R&D department

>>61419505
They have like two missteps being R600 and Bulldozer.

>>61416192
Yes, dual cores is absolutely a bottleneck, even 4 cores with no hyperthreading is a bottleneck in some games. 4core/8threads is the bare minimum if you want to play videojiames comfortably.

>even 4 cores with no hyperthreading is a bottleneck in some games.
>tfw I fell for the ''an i5 will be more than enough for ANYTHING for at least 5 years'' meme and got a 6500
I haven't felt so cucked before.

So was it confirmed that many of the features promised for Vega are currently disabled in the drivers? I'm talking about the tile based rasterization, culling, and some bandwidth stuff. I've heard that some of those features are not enabled and are why FE is doing do poorly in games and drawing so much power. Bullshit? Or master plan by AMD to have RX blow everything out of the water from left field?

>>61420137
Not master plan, more like "The drivers aren't finished/stable enough for release"

>>61420137
>Or master plan by AMD to have RX blow everything out of the water
will know tomorrow
they wouldn't make people sign NDA in Budapest? that would be crazy

>>61420137
They want another R300.

>>61420137
>currently disabled in the drivers?
And people were wondering why AMD would disable features, before throwing its card out to the public

>>61420855
Stability?
FE is marketed as prosumer card.

>>61416208
That's the price of an RX 580. No way you'll get Vega for that.

I think the cheapest Vega will be around $450 to $500, with their flagship probably being at least $650.

>>61420079
What graphics card do you have? And are you planning to upgrade it any time soon? You probably aren't that "cucked".

>>61420898
Literally the only reason it exists is to say they launched vega on schedule

The other shit isn't finished

>>61421982
It works as compute board.
You can even tinker with ROCm.
Though Maxwell was delayed two quarters, not two month and no one complained.

Honestly, I'm pretty close to just buying a 500 series. If they have the release date be early September I can manage, but got damn. Get your shit together, AMD.

>>61420079

It WILL be enough, even more so if directx and vulkan become mainstream. Having a beefier CPU only makes sense if you're playing above 60 fps. If you are not, then you're good to go. Don't listen to AMD shills misinfo who try to pretend that suddenly games need 23448902348923749238 cores to work. The vast majority doesn't even use 4 cores and most of the ones that do still only hammer the first thread.

>>61422243
>Get your shit together, AMD.

Shut the fuck up and wait.

>>61422282
directx 12*

>>61422299
The difference being nvidia wasn't eating amd's dust for a year and a half like AMD is.

>>61422318
Maybe AMD has some other revenue sources so they can give ~0 shits about halo offerings for some time while cooking new uarch?

Maxwell was never delayed

AYYMDPOORFAGS lying to cover for their dying, bankrupt company, beyond pathetic

>>61422379
>Maxwell was never delayed
Oh boy.
OH BOY.
Let's not do that.
