Now you know AMD has found out how to use system ram so the 4 GB will be just fine. See, when a game needs something that is not stored on the video card ram, the driver will just call up that data from the system ram.
See, it is genius. No need to worry about the vram.
HBM allows you to use system ram as ram without penalty. But, no one has to worry about it anyway. Because AMD drivers are so smart that they automatically store everything you will ever need in the vram that is available. The problem with vram is that we have been using too much vram. See, think about it. Less is more.
Nvidia is doomed. They will never beat vega until they figures this secret out. The only way to beat vega? They have to put 2gb vram on the 1080ti. They wont be able to touch it as long as they are using too much vram. Anything over 4gb is too much. If nvidia released 4gb 1080ti cards, they might be able to tie vega performance. It will absolutely need to be less than 4gb to beat them!!!!
Okay okay...I got one more.
Vega will only need 4 and 8gb because it is a gtx1080 (non ti) competitor. Its not powerful enough to need more memory.
The 4gb vega will be the single chip variant, the 8gb will be the dual chip on a single PCB.
The dual chip vega will actually be able to beat out the GP104 in the few games that support multi GPU.
Oh, and the delay is due to AMD trying to get one DX12 game to launch that has proper multi GPU support. This one game will be the only game people talk about on forums, no matter if they only sell 60k copies..it will be the end all be all game that is in every sites benchmark suit and the only game benchmark that matters. All other games will be considered not true games and will be disregarded outright as worthless cherrypicking.
What ya think?
