AMD to reveal high-value Polaris graphics cards later this month

AMD is set to unveil its Polaris 10 and 11 graphics cards later this month, WCCFTech reports.

The company will reportedly hold a press conference focused on its new high-value graphics cards.

The Polaris 10 and 11 GPUs will not directly compete with Nvidia’s high-end products – instead, the graphics cards will be aimed at the mainstream gaming market, offering exceptional efficiency and cost-effective performance.

Polaris 11 GPUs are built for laptops and basic gaming desktops, while the Polaris 10 graphics cards are more suitable for powerful gaming PCs.

AMD’s new architecture will feature double the performance-per-watt of previous GPUs.

The company has stated that the Polaris graphics cards are aimed at allowing mainstream users to experience VR without paying the heavy cost of a current-generation VR Ready GPU.

AMD’s Polaris launch event will take place sometime between 26 – 29 May 2016.
