AMD Vega Leaks, Specs, Update: Radeon RX Vega Packaging Revealed, Coming With Quake Champions?
AMD’s Radeon RX Vega graphics cards are supposed to arrive this quarter and their packaging has now been leaked.
AMD Radeon RX Vega graphics cards are expected to release in this quarter and their packaging has now been leaked by the trustworthy source. The Radeon RX Vega graphics card will be powered by AMD's top of the line Vega 10 graphics core that comes with brand new chip architecture, which is aimed at high-performance PCs.
According to the leaked packaging, with the courtesy of Videocardz, the AMD Radeon RX Vega packaging is very simple and there's nothing too fancy about it. Unfortunately, no details on specifications are listed apart from a few features that are already sported on current Radeon RX 500 series cards. These features include DirectX 12, Vulkan, Radeon Chill, FreeSync 2 and Radeon ReLive live capture support. The leaked box also reads "AMD Radeon RX Vega" and "Bring Gaming To Life," which are supposed to be just some marketing labels.
The front side of the box has a shot of Quake Champions, which is probably that the game will come as a bundle promotion with the card. In the leaks, there was also a limited edition packaging for AMD Radeon RX Vega graphics cards pictured a while back. As standard models ship in the packaging pictured, the limited and higher priced variants will ship with better packaging which is sold directly be AMD, as reported by Segment Next.
Recently, AMD drivers have automatically installed game icons for Quake Champions on the desktop, which now allows users to apply for the forthcoming beta of the game. A quick revision was launched that allowed users to configure whether or not they want the extra icons cluttering their desktop. The company is now said to be working with Id Tech and Bethesda as their official hardware partner, offering support and optimization in their games for upcoming Radeon GPU and Ryzen CPU.
There is much more which is to learn about the upcoming AMD Vega GPUs and the next couple of weeks will be very excited. Intel has given in to the pressure and the company is pushing out products before what was originally planned. Nvidia is also reportedly working on releasing Nvidia Volta early as well. This is all just because of AMD Radeon RX Vega.
