AMD RX 580 and RX 560 leak

Yeah sadly it seems to be Gigabytes turn to drop the ball with their AMD gpu's,
It's only fair though It was MSI and Asus's turns last time :D

From the 1080Ti perspective also, the Gigabyte cooler isn't cutting it either but it is a much bigger chip and needs a beefier cooler.

I think you was impressed with the G1 because you came from a noisy Titan X and/or because you have not seen the better coolers available Gregter. The cooler on my G1 gaming is not much of an improvement over my MSI Gaming 290. After spending some time with the card I am certain the huge AMP Extreme Edition coolers are on another level. Which is only natural anyway, they are a lot bigger and heavier, so much so you end up with sag.

Still, I would much rather have a AIO watercooler on a card, as long as the manufacturer does not take the mickey with price. I would be very happy with a Fury X type cooler on Vega as long it does not have the whine issue Fury X did. The benefit of AIO for me is super easy installation (no need to mess about like you do with custom watercooling), you get all the heat being dumped out of the case, a lot less noise and obviously a lot lower temps :)

Yer, could well be spot on. I had been water cooled for a number of years and my last air cooled was my Titan X and that blower was ******* loud lol

think it was trying to get the price range down personally, Turbo card would be picked up for those that want to water cool a reference board and doing it cheaper , although taking longer then an FE

Least it seems them and other vendor's are taking AMD products more seriously :D
 
They do it because they sell.

24hr passed and around 300 units 500 series sold which is crazy because even I recommend customers buy the G1 480 8G at 209.99
 
oh i see, so when is the RX vega coming out? being a cool name they should have stick to 590 or numbers, I suppose rx vega sounds like titan x but way cooler, also how much do you think the rx vega will cost, estimation?
The current release date it Q2 so any time before end of June. However there are signs that it maybe in May sometime. Hard to say what the price will be as it depends what the performance is for each card. There will be minimum two cards, but I think there will be 4 in the range. I am expecting 1080Ti or there abouts for performance, but most here think 1070/80 performance. We will see.
