Rebrandeons confirmed. About the only good news is that hopefully AMD's Linux drivers won't be broken for these cards simply because they are literally overclocked/overvolted polaris parts from last year.

Hopefully.

Polaris Evolved is Vega?

I just pulled the trigger on an RX 580 myself. I am still anxious on if there is support in place for it yet. As best I can tell there is no explicit "polaris20" support in git linux/drm/mesa.

Polaris Evolved is Vega?

No, Polaris is next month. These are just higher/newer Polaris parts.

[hoohoo]

Polaris Evolved is Vega?

What's Vega?

What's Vega?

Is just the new videocard for higher performance, they should be like the fury.

RX550 will be out April 20 so maybe it's the same for RX560

This is normal.
It always happens with both nvidia and amd cards.

Polaris Evolved is Vega?

I don't think so...
This is just a refresh of last years' Polaris. Which is something that always happens. And was to be expected.
My guess is that Vega will come later (June/Jully ? )...
