It's sad, I was one of the people saying, "Wait for Navi, we could have 1080 perf for £300." Disappointed is not the word. Thanks, Obama.

Vega 56 worth it at around £200?

100% agree, watched the unveil and the prices, can't believe its same company giving us the awesome ryzen 3000's!

I took one look at Navi pricing and bought Vega, and I'm never going to buy a blower card in a million years either. I bought one years ago, never again.

I think hardware unboxed had B450 and 3600 as price/performance combo king.

Yep rather disappointing, considering some have been less than £240 previously.

I paid less than that last week!
Glad I didn't bother hanging on now.

Haha, Colour me surprised. TBH its even less than i was expecting rofl
But like i said EOL or not they know they will sell given their position in the market and the price of navi. Wouldn't be that surprised if we actually saw a bump in price when navi comes out for the few remaining cards.

Not sure Navi will stay at rumoured prices though as low sales will bring the prices down.
Dude you should remove the reference to a competitor. This forum is owned by OcUK and it's against the forum rules to post them.
Great. Now *I'm* really uncertain about what I want to do.
Yup I'm not buying either unless it drops some more.
Even Donald Trump can see this is a bad deal.

If OCUK are going to do a really good deal then they make a song and dance about it on the forum, writing was on the wall when there was nothing about Vega on the GPU board.
When deals?
shop prices of v56 have gone down within the last hour, not very exciting though..
sapphire pulse, was £289.99 now £269.99
powercolor red dragon, was £278.99 now £269.99
asrock phantom (blower), was £269.99 now £248.99
maybe there will be a sweetner for forum members like an extra game code or smth?
Yeah it needed to be £250 or less and I'd promised myself I'd pull the trigger.
Guess I'll shop around.

Vega 64's already given us 1080 performance for £300.
Sure but the current Vega 64 price is more like £380.
And I expected Navi would be somewhere between the 1080 and 1080 ti, for £300. Of course we all know how that turned out.
e: Really considering pulling the trigger on the blower model now for £200.
It will be noisy, and that will make me sad. But the Pulse is too expensive at +£70 more.
