Most couldn't afford it, they'll end up console
Giving up G-sync/FreeSync and it would be hello consoles due to way better exclusives.

Why did you wait so long, should have got the 1070 on launch like I did, you would have made use of it and probably be ready to sell it by now like I did. Price is not much different now then it was 8 months ago... It's like you waited all that time and crumbled right at the end. lolI have a Freesync screen, got frustrated with waiting and bought myself a GTX 1070, AMD need to step it up a few gears.
The problem is that AMD knows that their card is only performing around GTX 1080 and their are not sandbagging anything ,therefore, it is what it is. AMD knows if they say that our card only performing as GTX 1080 after one year and at same drop price of GTX 1080 than of course it will be embarrassing moment for AMD. Therefore, with VEGA and their PR is mainly focused on content, VR, developers and sever market with new Ryzen and VEGA. Do not be surprise if GTX 1080 is winning majority of DX11 games, trading blows in DX12 against Vega 10.
AMD will not go for performance crown anymore and they always make loss and terrible mistakes to claim that.

They'd still be buying nVidia cards - with AMD gone who'd be powering the consoles?
(shortly followed by needing a mortgage to afford a console).
I'm on a 290 and also almost crumbling and going with a 1070. Gibbo is not helping matters with the constant 1070 deals right now .
I waited so long because I was hoping for a price drop/something from AMD or just anything to get a nice boost from the 290 in the same price bracked. Doesn't look like it's happening and from the 480 prices, AMD jumped in with the nonsense of putting everything up a pricing tier, so I've given up on that dream for now.

you have started this thread and all you have done is bait and troll it. You don't know what performance AMD's top Vega card is so how about stop pretending like you know. Because no one knows yet.

He is the biggest troll poster on ocuk, he would love AMD to go into the ground.
Everything he posts is something against AMD, reminds me of another poster that used to come on here that was banned for the same thing.

See, I'm the totally opposite which is why I'm still waiting, all be it getting rather impatient. To me, anyone that leaves Freesync/Gsync due to buying the other companies card is absolutely mental. Freesync/Gsync/Adaptive Sync whatever camp you are in, is just to damn good to drop if you've got it. I'd find it incredibly hard to go back to gaming without it, it's a rough experience.
Caporegime
I wouldn't, before FreeSync, i was gaming fine without it, so i could easily go back to without, id rather that than go through games going, turn that down, that down, that down, and that, turn that off, turn that off, and that...... just to keep my frames up, with not knowing how long ive got to keep doing that for.
Soldato
I dont do that though, all my games run maxed out....the difference is only in the frames I get. Instead of 120+, ill get 70 which with freesync feels way higher anyway. I've never ever had to compromise eye candy, everything is always bumped to ultra. Only thing I wouldn't run is high levels of AA, but on 1440p it's not that much of a problem anyway.
Only reason I want a high end card is to replace crossfire. When it's working, I've got the performance right here of a 1080, I just want that performance in 1 card. Give me that with Freesync and i'll be creaming at the mouth. Vsync at high fps without adaptive sync feels rubbish in comparison to much lesser fps on a screen with adaptive sync.

FreeSync owners, what if Vega doesn't deliver, are you going to wait another few years for their next card, to see if that one does ?, and if it doesn't, wait again ?

Nope, I'm buying the best Vega card there is. If AMD keeps to the stand route with lots of workload and compute hardware in it'll do me very well in Premiere Pro, and Solidworks/Autocad as well without having to bother with a FirePro/Quadro.

The Furys came out June 2015, Vega, their replacements, are coming nigh 2yrs after, thats a long time to wait, so you could be waiting that long again if that doesn't deliver, and all because of FreeSync, madness.

Well didn't 980ti release roughly same time? And thats only just getting replaced.
Caporegime
Yes, but they've already brought out much faster cards than it, before its true replacement (the 1080 Ti), for those owners to upgrade to, the 1080, and the TXP, so they've really only waited about a year for an upgrade, AMD have brought out absolutely nothing for their nigh on 2yr old Fury owners to upgrade too, or their nigh on 4yr old 2/390s!.

No I'll be upgrading no matter what to Vega surly the upgrade over a 290 will be worth it.
The only reason I didn't go with Fury was because 4GB Vram and me already having 4GB I felt disappointed even if it was faster.

Loadsa doom n gloom in here tonight

Let's be honest here this wait is only a one off, and the biggest reason is AMD wanting to go with HBM manufacturer process has slowed AMD down here.
Now that's all sorted and we have HBM2 is mass production I don't see why AMD won't be back to normal release time frames with future generations.
Caporegime
Im sorry, but the HBM2 wait doesn't wash with me, not when they could have used GDDR5, and GDDR5X like Nvidia.
AMDs just wanting to get their Vega' bought, on the back of the newer memory, the HBM2, they aren't still on the ancient GDDR5 like Nvidia.
