Last week there was an AMD event in Sonoma, the world press was there. At the event many topics have been shown including working samples of AMD VEGA. Marc Sauter from Golem.de today posted a photo that he probably should not have released.
The photo shows a working VEGA setup in a demo room running Doom at ultra quality settings in an Ultra HD resolution, I know this was a demo room because I have attended this event as well. The photo is as Golem.de explains is Doom running at 4K Ultra. The card is outting an FPS of 68 fps, with the “Vulkan” API enabled and what probably is a very early unoptimized engineering sample.
A couple of things pop out, first off is the hardware device ID is revealed 687F:C1 and the second thing just has to be the graphics memory amount as the screenshot clearly is showing 8GB of HBM2 memory, with an estimated memory bandwidth of 512 GB/s.
Back to the hardware ID, 687F:C1 anyone remember this post on AOTS? Go have a peek at the screenshots, courtesy of Golem.de
