AMD's first Vega 10 card may launch in December
 

Pricing to be similar with GTX 1080

On Wednesday, a possible release date surfaced for AMD’s upcoming high-performance GPU based on Vega 10 architecture with HBM2 memory.

Since March, some sources expected that AMD would bring its Vega 10 launch forward to October in order to regain some high-end GPU market share from Nvidia’s Geforce GTX 1080 and 1070. We were later able to confirm towards the end of September that at least one Vega 10-based card should be launching, at least on paper, before the end of this year. Now, at least one source has said the card will be announced and launched in December, with the company then planning to ship higher volumes in early 2017.

AMD has already stated it does not plan to release any higher-performing Polaris 10 cards above the Radeon RX 480 that was announced in June. According to a product roadmap from its Capsaicin event at GDC 2016 in San Francisco, the term “Polaris” is positioned on the chart right at the “mid-2016” mark, while “Vega” is positioned right above the year “2017.” At the very least, this gives the indication that a Radeon product announcement based on the new architecture could happen before the end of the year.
