I think news will surface before the months out. As for availability I think nvidia will be first, it will be can you hold off to compare against AMD releases as it may be a few weeks after possibly into november which is when the consoles will be out.
I"m still waiting for an explanation of how I can self-generate data and feedback on products that don't exist yet, but he's too busy waffling on about how Intel TDP in a speculative AMD GPU thread...While your posting history in this thread is straight AMD bad bashing - Intel good shilling like from paid troll.
It's somewhat doubtful that there will be an (AMD) upgrade for your Vega 56 for less than £400+. I have the same card, but won't be upgrading GPU this time around.Interested to see what AMD come away with. I'm looking to swap out a Vega 56 fairly soon to make use of the higher refresh rate of a 1440P monitor.

Yes the days of spending the same as your last card and getting an upgrade are well and truly over.I didn't expect an upgrade to cost less really. The Vega 56 is a good card but looking fr a boost so I guess the price tag will come with that.
Oh.... Ye I meant XTR, Erm? Crap they knowI think mr nvidia briefs would have beef if they used the naming 'RXT'

Each gen from now on you can expect to add at least £100
Joking? Maybe not...
Yup I'll not be deciding which way I'm going until multiable Ampere and RDNA2 reviews land.
With the kind of cash we are talking about these days, we all need to get it right the first time.
Plus I like to monitor closely for the first month for reported problems / card failures from the day one buyers.
+1 You have to vote with your wallet every time. It's the only thing companies understand.Very true indeed, that said, the consumer should not IMHO use that as an excuse to throw caution to the wind. If you reward anti-consumer practices with your money you can bet the house that the same company will do it again and perhaps even worse the next time. If you pay for a luxury item that's overpriced because only one company makes it and then get mad when the price is even higher the next time around, you as a buyer only have yourself to blame and not all the companies that didn't put out a competing product. This is not about Nvidia btw but any company really. We all have different lines in the sand we don't want to cross and that is fine. What bugs me a lot is those who complain about something saying they won't support it and then support it afterward.

Hence why I'm still on a 1070 and only bought that when I could get it at an almost reasonable £350. Sadly I seem to largely be a lone voice however.

Hear hear.
One thing you need to bear in mind though, is the status symbol aspect; some people actually like to pay over the odds for a particular product because it makes them feel they have access to something that others haven't, an exclusivity complex so to speak.
That's why you get people buying £60k cars when they commute by train and spend most weekends on the lash. I have a neighbor who's absolutely lovely car has seen more washes than miles.
If I'm going AMD then I need to know the drivers are stable. I'm not concerned about noise or heat, but the drivers are the main concern in addition to Freesync functionality. They don't need to best Nvidia's flagship either, I'll be happy with 1080ti + 50% performance so long as the price is right.
You mention card failures, weren't there issues with Nvidia 2000 series cards overheating and actually going on fire?
As you say, this will take time to assess, and with the console details likely to be later then it might be December before a proper informed decision can be made.
