AMD's rollout of Vega hasn't been without issues and up until now we hadn't seen a single mobile variant. That changes today as AMD teased the first Vega-based mobile discrete video cards at CES 2018. No specifications have been announced so this is still a "placeholder" announcement until the company has something real to announce. No word was said about design wins but the first gaming laptops with Vega should launch sometime later this year.
AMD discussed its first mobile discrete graphics solution based on the "Vega" architecture. This razor-thin Radeon Vega Mobile GPU is designed to enable new, powerful gaming notebooks in 2018 with extraordinary performance and incredible efficiency.
AMD also announced that Radeon™ Software will add support for HDMI 2.1 Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) technology on Radeon™ RX products in an upcoming driver release. This support will come as an addition to the Radeon™ FreeSync technology umbrella, as displays with HDMI 2.1 VRR support reach market.
Ubisoft announced that Far Cry 5 will support Radeon™ RX Vega specific features like Rapid Packed Math as well as Radeon™ FreeSync 2 technology. Radeon™ RX Vega owners will be able to enjoy Far Cry 5 at exceptional fidelity, with stunning frame rates and beautiful image quality.
