The new graphics cards from amd will be called radeon rx vega

As we had anticipated, AMD has held its own event called Capsaicin & Cream, where the new AMD Radeon RX VEGA graphics cards were not there, but if we talk about the new features that will come along with them, some very promising.

AMD VEGA and virtual reality

Virtual reality took a special role during the presentation, where Valve, Epic and other studios have been to present some news regarding VR. The highlight was the presence of the HTC Vive project to introduce a new technology called Async Reprojection (asynchronous reprojection). This technology was already present in Nvidia graphics cards and is now present in AMD. The idea of ​​Async Reprojection is to create a new frame from an existing one, deforming it according to the direction of movement of the user. This would allow a minimum of 90 FPS to be reached on less powerful systems.

Radeon RX VEGA: High Bandwidth cache controller & Rapid Packed Math

AMD confirms that its new graphics cards are going to be called Radeon RX VEGA and introduced some technologies that will make it stand out.

The first one is High Bandwidth cache controller (which will be known as HBCC from now on). What HBCC does is dramatically improve performance in high-stress and memory-intensive scenarios. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided with and without HBCC was used in the demonstration. AMD claims it will improve performance by 50% and increase the minimum FPS rate by up to 100% in certain situations.

In another order they also talked about Rapid Packed Math, which would improve the calculation of physics. TressFX was used to demonstrate that more than half a million additional threads can be calculated with this technology.

We have already been commenting on the alliance of AMD and LiquidSky for cloud games, which will use the Radeon RX VEGA graphics cards. AMD clears all the rumors that its new graphics would be named after the RX 500, from now on it will be the RX Radeon VEGA.
