This is not helping perception of the Vega launch!! :p
Just as AMD was getting some great goodwill due to Ryzen this happens!! :(

I'm actually really excited for Threadripper still, and was going to get a Frontier Edition or top Radeon RX Vega card to complement it for my content creation work; and possible FE for my old man's Solidworks ryzen machine as well.

I'm a bit iffy now haha; although no one has tested FE with Davinci Resolve, Vegas or Premiere Pro yet.

The cheapest version of Solid Works costs $4000 If you can afford that then buying a card with actual pro drivers will be easily affordable and a lot less money.

In the end it doesnt really matter. NVIDIA are probably laughing at AMD right now looking at the current state of AMD's lineup and their soon to be released Volta cards. Hate to say it but Vega is irrelevant at this point. Even if AMD is aggressive with pricing, NVIDIA will be more than happy to lower prices after a year of milking customers and it would still be a better buy looking at TDP. I always thought GTX 1080 performance was the worst case scenario but AMD proved me wrong.

However bad their line up is I don't think anyone can laugh at amd when miners are buying every single card they make.

Well TBF,as long as AMD can gain some more marketshare in CPUs,hopefully this means more money can be put back into graphics. I am looking forward to see how Raven Ridge will do though.
 
looking at the PCper review its not doing too bad at production stuff which i would suspect would improve with driver updates...also nice to see the naked card too

I completely agree. It seems the old R&D and staff cuts up to 2015 are still really hurting the GPU department.

I'm really looking forward to the Q2 earnings call, and Q&A; those chaps are sure to bring out the hard questions again. One that'll be on all their minds is Vega, and Vega Frontier. What's going on there.

Oh dear. Looks like the most we can hope for is that the RX version and proper drives it brings it up to around or slightly better than 1080 levels.

What a disappointment.

Not just drivers, actually has the new architectural features Not working. They tested the rasterization and found tiled based rasterization isn't even working.
That's a major performance feature not even active, and AMD hasn't gotten back to them yet about it either.

1440Mhz Vega card barely able to beat a Fury X or 1070 is shocking really. Firmware, drivers, or messed up production stepping, or all of the above. It doesn't help AMD is being so quiet as well.

AMD already told PcPer the drivers of the Frontier are "older" ones, and not comparable to Radeon RX; yet also didn't put out a statement about it all either. They could have at least mentioned on their Frontier Edition website/page that current gaming performance is not indicative to Radeon RX Vega and drivers.

why not just get an AIB 1080 for £500 then? you don't have to wait for 2-3months for decent partner cards /reciews to come out, you don't have to wait for the price scalpers etc.

Cause NV ****** me and AIBs off with ******* encrypted bios. I dont want to pay for licket down ****. I want to mod bios and brick.my card if i want to. Noobe will tell me what i cant do with **** i paid over 600 quid for.
