Yesterday news broke the web coming from Tom’s Hardware that Gigabyte would not be releasing custom RX Vega cards. That information contradicts with what we have been hearing from Gigabyte. In fact the past few weeks I have been talking with several board partners on the AIB cards.
Fact is that Vega 56 and 64 custom cards are delayed due to reasons we believe to be GPU availability. As it looks right now half October, but more likely at the end of October you will start seeing custom Vega cards. Now back to Gigabyte. Tom’s Hardware Germany reported that Gigabyte would not be releasing any custom cards for both Vega 56 and 64 with maybe just a G1 version for the Vega 56.
According to sources within Gigabyte the cards will be released in week 42 or 42 (store availability), which again confirms my earlier assumption of ‘later’ in October. Here is what we have confirmed, Gigabyte is planning at least 4 custom cards for just Radeon RX VEGA alone, one of them we heard is water-cooled.
