To be honest i think people will be surprised. It will show better than what we have seen so fare unless AMD somehow f up the driver. No im not saying it will catch up to the 1080ti(cause it wont) but it will show better than it does with todays Frontier edition benchmark. Also the power draw will not be 2x of the 1080. That said the OC capabilities will be limited i think past the Aqua editions top boost speeds as they always are with AMD. But it all doesn't matter anyway cause they could have built it to brew coffee and people would still complain that it can't go to the shopping mall for milk(who the .. drinks milk in their coffee anyway :P ).

Lol classic Ngreedia. Thx god we have Amd or we could be paying for driver support
 
im really in a predicament. not sure whether to wait for vega, or just jump and grab a 1080, due to the price id be looking at the OC value FE version. Would anybody have any doubts about the value cards?

Wait for the Vega reviews and decide then.
 
If the minimums are as good as they make out, then I may just grab a Vega 56. If not waiting for xx70 variant of Volta :)

Well, one saving grace is that Nvidia improving it's products in response to Vega benefits consumers.

I doubt any Titan owners were considering swapping to Vega and i also doubt any potential Vega customers would be considering a Titan so while this is a nice perk i doubt it will put even the mildest dent in Vega sales.

Personally i'm still looking forward to the official reviews, and as with most Amd releases they launch with too much hype, things settle down and end result is a pretty good product, just look at the 290/x, out lived all the competition.

I think the Vega 56 might be OKish,especially since the TDP is much lower and the Vega 64 water cooled edition has 30% more FLOPs for a 64% TDP increase. Looking at the $399 RRP,that would equate to around £365 with VAT added.

it might be ok with a decent coooling

yep it was the same with the 7970 and 290, initial disappointment but after the dust settled people sat back and said actually there not bad after all

You have miners and brexit to thank for that.

If we didn't have such issues the 1070 would have been closer to £300 at launch.

Miners and Brexit for the most part. Nvidia also slapped $50 on the price of Pascal compared to Maxwell. If truth be told not an awful lot considering they had no competition.
