AMD has now unveiled its new high-end lineup of Radeon RX Vega graphics cards today. The new GPUs have been created to compete with NVIDIA’s offerings for PCs. AMD released its last flagship card, the Fury X, back in 2015 so it’s about time that the company came out with a new flagship card.
AMD has teased its Vega architecture multiple times over the past year and it’s now revealing more information about the GPUs today. The company is launching three new graphics cards with the flagship model being liquid-cooled.
The company promises that its new flagship card is going to provide 13.7 teraflops of performance and that users will get over 200 percent of the throughput-per-clock over previous Radeon GPU architectures.
The standalone Radeon RX Vega 56, which has 56 compute units, will be released on August 14th for $399. The Vega 64 air-cooled card will also be released then with a price tag of $499.
AMD has also introduced Radeon Packs which bundle games with discounts for AMD hardware. Those who want a liquid-cooled version of the Vega 64 will have to opt for a Radeon Pack. The Radeon Packs start at $499 for the Vega 56 and go up to $699 for the liquid-cooled version of the Radeon RX Vega 64.
Three Radeon Packs will be offered and each bundles Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus and Prey with a new AMD Vega graphics card. Customers will also receive a $200 discount on Samsung’s 34 inch curved gaming monitor, a $100 discount on select Ryzen 7 1800X processor and 370X motherboard bundles.
