I suppose it depends on the games played and how recent they are!! :p

And that 3840x1600 res is pretty epic, esp on a 38" UW :cool:
 
@Gibbo, wow are you for real, I just got this last week when it was £389.99 thinking it was not going down because you said in your previous powercolor deal post that prices were gonna go up, these were your words - ( Some cracking prices from Powercolor here guys for long Weekend Promotion, or even an AMD Friday come early, prices will go up slightly next week or when stock sells out: ), so I pulled the trigger, and thats after I waited and waited to see if it was going to go down to a bangin bargain price like this. This is deep and im fuming!

You were always asking me regarding Vega 64 and namely Sapphire would come down, I said no at which point you ordered one of these cards, you were not asking about this specific card.
Also when these were done at £389.99 a couple of weeks ago, that was best price.
Since then Powercolor offered me a deal on a new batch of stock which landed this week enabling the power price we now have.

If it helps our CS department can refund you £25, just drop a post in CS section linking to my response here and they can sort that for you.

Your right, I was looking forward to the sapphire one but there too steep in price especially for a card thats been out nearly 2 years. The 56 is not far off from the 64 especially if you tweak the voltages and Powercolor gpu's are the next best thing for AMD cards, thats why I got it. Thanks for the refund offer, I will take it, and a big up respect to you for this!

Hi Gibbo, I have done what you advised me to do and I was wondering how long does it usually take for a reply and for the whole process in general?

They are not EOL, the problem with VEGA is they are down turned the production simply because the profit is none existent and also the demand poor.

So people like Sapphire still make them, but they charge a lot more.
Powercolor have decided to really reduce their inventory and pretty much stop making VEGA as they feel it loses them money, now they can move production more onto their own product lines like chassis, Vega NANO (their own card, not official AMD product), RX series and I believe Powercolor will do some more work on their own sound card technology.

As with all things if you make and sell an item which makes low or no profit, to continue doing so would bankrupt the company and lets face it if we lost Powercolor AMD would be in a bad place, especially as XFX seem to be very quiet and none existent these days.

VEGA will also get a nanometer reduction, but of course it is believed it won't be consumer level and just for AI, corporate and professional customer bases. The big next thing from AMD is NAVI in late 2019. For now they can focus on the sub £300 market with RX series and from time to time bang out a few VEGA cards for good measure.

Kept reading VEGA as EVGA through that...
 
How long is this deal going to last? Is this the best price we're going to see for now or can we expect to see any more drops between now and the end of the year?

Is that not what people said when RTX was coming out, oh all the old cards will drop massively because the new RTX cards will be cheap. Then realism set in and the old cards went up in price.

yeah but why gibbo ? the rtx cards themselves arnt great value and people know this hence they are going for the 10 series ..
but with amd IF they keep it around the same price and hit higher clocks it would be value ..
1080ti cheaper than a 2080 ...value .. not your fault just NVidia being jerks because they can ..

I'm desperate for a card my 290 is on it's last legs ..was thinking of the 56 but can't get a block for it ..
and I'm hoping they do knock something out high mid range like the vega ..
