It's all about price. A 1080 performance Vega for around £350 would be a good card.

And would sell like hot cakes.

That would make the Nvidia cards look very very expensive.

To use a boxing analogue. Ryzen was a good double jab, I'm now just hoping that Vega is the right hand follow up.

They teased Vega at a Bethesda preview event for the game a couple of months back.

So 10th April theres no details but in 20 working days they'll release both 580 card refresh and Vega in time for this game release. Seems like if they are being forced for time the Prey game will come out but this Vega is going to arrive whenever they feel its good and ready.
Probably what was said about Deep Learning is the bigger deal for them and sets the schedule. In the same way they keep going on about VR like its massive, these hot topic issues and delivering an adequate response to what they see as growth potential is what drives their product release more then what our specific sector of the consumer market is interested in especially.
 
problem is that the 1080 will have been out over a year by the time vega comes out. It will be nice to have a £350-400 price point but if it's around 1080 performance Nvidia won't have to drop prices that much to compete from their current level and those of us interested in the higher performing segment of the gpu market will have already have invested in NVidia gear leaving only AMD diehards struggling on with their mid range performing cards to upgrade from. AMD really needs to stop playing catch up and either decide to stick to the mid range or to try to compete properly at the top end, not compete with last years top end......

bit of competition might be nice at the top end from my perspective...one company having the top six or so performing GPU's in their current and recent inventory isn't great for us consumers!

still will have to wait for actual performance and prices to be released

That would be too funny if he did. But I am pretty sure he has learnt his lesson with multi gpu. Apart from benching, crossfire or sli, it is ****.

yer multi gpu support has been shocking/dead the past few months which makes driving 4k 60fps hard let alone the 4lk/144hz screens "people" have been calling out for

It depends on the game though I suppose. Games that benefit from the extra hz like overwatch or CSGO would easily get over 60fps I would imagine and obviously other older games.

Not in a rush for more than 60hz on 4K myself, be a lot more interested in HDR/OLED as I don't play many twitch games and 60hz/fps is fine for me personally.

would you guys pick a 1080p HDR @ 144hz or 4k SDR @ 144hz ?
personally i would pick the 1080p

Tough one. Would need to see them both in action. But there is such a big difference to me from 1080p to 4K. But why waste HDR on 1080p anyway, might as well have it on 4K ;)

Even £400 for a 1080 performing Vega would be good.

It would be okay. Just.

As has been pointed out the 1080's have been out a while now and a few have already been sold for around £450. Makes it an easy price drop for Nvidia and yet again AMD may still struggle to gain market share.

people playing CSGO seriously tend to play at 1024x768 for a more focused real world FOV and larger pixels on a big screens help with headshots ive been told

See I never understood things like that. Unless I am playing professionally or something I would never consider doing that. Sure it is fun to have a bit of advantage and kill more, but to do that? This is probably why I don't play fps games online much, some people take things too seriously and take things to another level. But I suppose you did say seriously. Don't think many people on this forum play games seriously in that way anyway.
 
Its about responce times, same reason they have 1000hz for a mouse. It is a big deal potentially, but only if vega was somehow the best. Give people a competetive advantage and it matters even to the lower ranks.
Ive heard pro players say they do want 1080p but nothing can guarantee to maintain the highest frames at that level. They also often have everything set lowest quality for similar reasons I think, csgo alledgely relys on cpu far more
The ideal minimum for csgo is 300fps, its five years old so I cant see why not. If this memory type helps that situation it'd be a real positive in reputation for the card. Ages ago I bought a 2900XT for this reason, the 512 bit bus width. I dont remember it especially helping me at that time, different game which was biased to nvidia imo and I'd guess csgo is biased to nvidia

I don't quite get it as well, high frame rates i can understand maybe it's a placebo thing as I don't play FPS's to a high level (I do love Titianfall 2). There must be a hardcore CS player in this thread lol
