Between 1070 and 1080? ABANDON SHIP
That as to be a stunt that went wrong ...looks like that hurtHopefully
Would be funny if it came out and it was on par with 1080 ti to see all the back peddling on here. Doubtful but ya never know.
Lowering expectations is a well worn political strategy, then you hit the audience with something far better than they were expecting, everyone is in raptures.
As a workstation card it massively beats Nvidia in performance/$.
However the tradeoff for that is it doesn't have 'official' certified drivers for the professional software packages.
It doesn't have application certified drivers like a Radeon Pro, and compared to the Quadro P5000 it loses 6/9 tests. When it wins, it wins a little, when it loses it loses loads.
Although it slaps around the P4000 and P2000.
Advantage is £1k vs £2-4k, but as mentioned it's not application certified.

My worry is price. We are assuming (I am) that the release of a competitive Vega will hopefully mean cheaper prices all round. BUT, the £300 price point of the 580 seems to suggest that Vega will be very similar to current Nvidia prices.

What does that mean? How does one get certified drivers? Just apply for them?

A graphic's card reviewer knows perfectly well that Nvidia market the Titans as the ultimate gaming graphics card, sadly their ego's blind them to the fact that they're being fobbed off by their Nvidia contact because Nvidia aren't interested in giving 1200 pound cards to every hack reviewer on Youtube, Reviewers like Jay2cents get a Titan from Nvidia or a board partners every time one is released. It's nothing to do with not recommending a card like that for gaming, Nvidia recommend it all the time, The truth is they give them to a couple of reviewers and that's it.
Well just had a read..... **** looks worse than FuryX that made me go Nv first time since gayforce 440mx like 14 years ago. Ill preorder one see for myself but this looks not much faster than my 980ti!!!! What can rhey gain in 1 minth?? 20% Max??
I expected low and even low seems to high Ffs

Apply them and supply the card and drivers to those software developers, it's rigorously tested to make sure it's 99.99999% bug and issues free.
One of the reasons these cards cost a fortune, they're tuned for a specific rendering path for the developers and their techniques.

AMD PR guy after reading OcUK gfx forum...
That explains a lot,
The Leviathan were AMD's PR team.
Yup, an overclocked 980Ti is going to be a match for the frontier edition. It's bonkers :O
to be fair jayz had to kick and scream to get a titan, he apparently had to call and request and beg for the two for the Terry crews build as they kept saying "no it's not a gaming card it's a deep learning card" and when the Xp released he had to go through it all again.
if you notice basically all the reviewers had to buy titans to test them, only a couple actually got them from Nvidia to show off.
anyway, back on topic.
Did you see that PCper didn't have much success overclocking the FE. Obviously that's not that important at the moment. Hopefully the RX has a lower TDP and might not run so hot.

Gayforce? Grow the **** up.
Are you still denying that Titans are gaming cards?
It also had weird power issues, and dips; which is odd because the card is rather beefy looking for power delivery. Still lots of testing to be done in regards to the Frontier Edition.
It performs about the same but slightly slower than a 1080 when the 1080 is using Quadro drivers.
The professional software results actually just vindicate the gaming stuff. Of course if you compare the Vega professional software results with a card that doesn't use professional drivers then it tends to do quite well, but that is kind of meaningless.
