Slightly faster, bugs ironed out, same price (theoretically), mature drivers. If only there was a 590 too, matching performance of the 1070...
And the 590 will be a Vega as far as I can tell.

At least this launch pushed AMD today to release new AMDGPU-PRO driver Version 410326 now, instead of 401251 previously.
To write sum of that 410326 one just in case, as Ubuntu package download was broken for some including me 2-3 days ago

So much misinformation in this thread.
The RX 5xx series is not Vega, yes. Vega is to come later and will probably feature something like HBM2. Even later there will be Navi, but that is still in the stars...
But RX 5xx it is not entirely an up-clocked version of RX 4xx. It actually is an evolution of the Polaris series. The power consumption in idle, multi monitor and for most video watching should be much better. Also raw performance is improved.
The German site "golem" stated that one can't just speak of a rebranding of old chip. It actually is evolved Si.

According to Wikipedia at least RX 550 seems to be Polaris 12 and the big cards are supposed to be Polaris 20. RedeonFeature didn't have much info on the series yet (last time I checked).
Acc. to the reviews RX 560 seems to be Polaris 21; RX 570 and 580 Polaris 20 and RX 550 Polaris 12.
Probably drivers should still support it already if one runs a recent enough kernel / mesa / libdrm stack. Iirc. some PCI IDs were added months ago. The question is if the energy management functions need more driver code or if that of Polaris 11 (RX 460) can be reused.Last edited by Adarion; 18 April 2017, 05:45 PM.Stop TCPA, stupid software patents and corrupt politicians!

To put it into perspective, you can say the rx300 series had cards spanning gcn1 gcn2 gcn3 , while these cards are gcn4.1 gcn4.12 gcn4.21 .
These cards make sense only because of the close release of 14-5-600x ryzen so that ppl wanting a full midrange can get also some fresh cards. While vega will follow ryzen 1700x+ prices like 350-450-550 and dumping the classic 1k+ double-chip card sometime after the release of the HEDT ryzens

It's actually the other way around.
