probably variance from dif hbm and the difference between aibs
They keep doing this - the R9 290/290X were overvolted as well,and loads of people could drop power by a bit of undervolting. The same with their CPUs in the past too.

I still don't see them catching up with a 1080Ti.Old tech? VEGA is top line in new technology right from the hardware. Only it's performance is matching Nvidia last year, but I honestly believe Vega needs new title to really showcase its full potential. Means waiting sadly.
450 for a reference is way over priced and I would never buy a reference cooler from either company. Unless I was maybe water cooling it.

As you say, they are just to expensive right now and may even get more expensive with custom cards.
Have you considered going Volta or quitting PC gaming with AMD's recent behaviour with pricing Shankly?
Can't see them ever catching 1080Ti but I can definitely see the Vega GPU doing better over time.
If you think I don't buy Nvidia just because of pricing you very mistaken mate.
While I have been very vocal about nvidia pricing in the past that isn't my reason for not buying.
And I have also shown AMD disagreement with pricing of Vega! But they is still so much up in air atm with this so I honestly not sure who to blame I also not been following all of it only watched Jay2cents video last night.
Navi should catch the Ti.
Yeah gibbo said that there would be a free game coming with the 580 red devil on Wednesday or Thursday.
EDIT : didn't read the link correctly my bad
Those anti-nVidia and would never buy nVidia traditionally on point of principle for those kind of reasons really should be applying that to AMD now as well.
I have no idea why you choose to buy one or another and don't really care - if people want to buy whatever that is their own business but after this launch IMO the lines between AMD and nVidia have blurred when it comes to the things I've been most critical of nVidia about i.e. contempt for their customers - with Vega they've deliberately tried to distort perceptions, basically lied at times, withheld information from and played other games with their loyal customers for their own agenda at times when there was plainly no reason to withhold it and so on.

they still matching Nvidia highend for performance "ignore" Ti and above that is a premium market. VEGA pricing isn't helping here tbh lol
Reference 1080Ti' could be had for £580 a few months ago brand new also.You can't ignore the Ti because it suits you. The fact is Vega is at anywhere from 1080 to 1080ti prices. £780 for a Vega All-in-one that should be priced against it's competitor not a flagship that performs well out of it's reach, You can buy aftermarket Ti's from £680-ish that's one hundred less, An EVGA 1080ti Hybrid SC2 only costs an additional 20 quid and a 1080 Hybrid is a couple of hundred less thhan the Vega AIO.
Which one? Pascal ti or Volta?
In my imagination I see Navi coming out with a GPU that beats Volta Ti and costs £499 and we all cheer for AMD and Raja. They end up explaining how Vega was a stepping stone to Navi.Pascal, it'll have to go some to catch Volta Ti, that'll be the next after Navi
