When I made this video it wasn't even out, but I pieced together all of the information we knew about it building up to its launch in the hope of capturing what it felt like to be almost there... but not quite. Here, I cover its story, from announcement up until a few weeks before official benchmarks.

0:07 - Vega on the roadmaps, speculation about announcement
2:04 - Pre-announcement framerates and information
2:44 - AMD's After the Uprising
4:23 - Responses to announcement
5:07 - Later events that mention Vega
6:27 - Vega FE release
7:00 - RX Vega's marketing
8:04 - Fury X VS 1080 frametimes - Think I've found the reason: AA!    • What's Up With The Hardware Unboxed R...
8:26 - RX Vega's price and offers
9:40 - Finewine

Hoping that this video will get people up to date with the situation and that it will be interesting to look back in in the future, when things have long moved on. I've tried my best to be factual though I also share my hate of fanboys from both sides on a number of my videos as I thought it was quite a big part of the Vega story to date. In short: see this video as entertainment, and follow up on the references below if you want to learn more.
