Here's the Hexus article forecasting price increases in Q1 (not sure if already posted), though they say it's only US$5-20 extra - but I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out somewhat higher than that.

Only a $5-$20, peanuts of an increase on my future $1000 midrange GPU purchase.

To get on the Roll of Honour all you have to do is post a pic with your user name on it of your Vega 64.

You should change the lights to blue on where the PCIe connectors go.

Hah, I might just, but I'm not sure if that's the LED setup I'm gonna roll with, anyway. Something something blue lights and sleep problems, though the setup definitely looks cool with all them blue LEDs lit up...

No, don't be silly, a true computer nerd never makes his bed.

Blue is definitely the way you want to go. It really works well with the Red lights in RADEON.

By default which way does the LC cool, is the fan pushing air thru the rad and should be ok with the rad mounted on my back exhaust port, or do I need to turn the fan around ? Cheers

opethdisciple · 6 Jan 2018 at 19:21

I just had a look at the prices for the 56/64! :eek:

I had a look last night and naturally thought the same! :eek:

BriT · 6 Jan 2018 at 19:59

£900! just wow.

Ree · 6 Jan 2018 at 20:24

wonder how long till it hits a grand. a few weeks to a month tops?

Martini1991 · 6 Jan 2018 at 20:25

My Vega 64's gone up more in value than my house.

LoadsaMoney · 6 Jan 2018 at 20:31

Its like investing in the stock market, we've all bought shares (Vega 64s), now were just waiting on the best time to sell

Steampunk · 6 Jan 2018 at 20:39

The price pretty much undermines the whole "Vega +Freesync cheaper than Nvidia+Gysnc" BS they did at the launch. It's still immaterial if there's no supply though.

If I was stupid enough to buy another v64 for crossfire, I would have to take out another mortgage with them prices.

Fan pushes through the rad. Most cases will have sufficient clearance above & below the exhaust mounting position to accommodate the tanks at each end of the radiator but even if that's a problem you can either use a spacer (or another fan) to offset the radiator for clearance.
