AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition technical specs and benchmarks

Summary

AMD started Radeon Vega Frontier Edition sales 27 June 2017 at a recommended price of 999 USD. This is a high-end GCN 5.0 architecture desktop card based on 14 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at gamers. 16 GB of HBM2 memory clocked at 1.89 GHz are supplied, and together with 2048 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 483.8 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is 2-slot card attached via PCIe 3.0 x16 interface. Its manufacturer default version has a length of 267 mm. An additional 2 8-pin power connectors are required, and power consumption is at 300 Watt.

It provides outstanding gaming and benchmark performance at 76.36 percent of a leader's which is NVIDIA TITAN Xp.

Compatibility, dimensions and requirements

Information on video card compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop video cards it's interface and bus (motherboard compatibility), additional power connectors (power supply compatibility). For notebook video cards it's notebook size, connection slot and bus - if the video card is inserted into the slot instead of being soldered to the notebook motherboard.
