Of course the alternate way to look at it is that sales are back normal after going up 80% during the mining boom?

Will be interesting to see what happens to the price of more normal cards. NV are expecting a bad quarter regarding mining sales and I'm not expecting a new crypto boom soon. Cards like the 570 & 80 and may move to a new lower price point although maybe not on the vega range that are more expensive to manufacture.
I've managed to fight the temptation this time, phew. Will see what prices are like later in the year before upgrading the GPU in second machine. Two FE 1070 Ti's are working well in the main one

No, that's not the way the free market works. Supply and Demand is way old fashioned. What happens now is that OcUK posters see a random video card for sale used somewhere then decide Vega prices should be approximately the same and that's the price it gets sold for. New. With Warranty.
Cost of manufacturing, R&D, marketing and all those other troublesome concepts are deeply flawed.

Well it's only fair. Gamers and philips-screwdriver-users are obviously top of the totem pole in terms of computing knowledge. Occasionally, they have to roll up their sleeves and give those incompetent hardware and software engineers who are Doing It Wrong a course-correction.No, that's not the way the free market works.

Vega 56/64 at launch: Only comparable performance to 1070/1080 but higher price and higher power-consumption and hotter running wasn't exactly appealing.
The only people that would even considering them over Nvidia's offering are people such as myself that already own a Freesync/Adaptive-sync monitor.
Almost had a heart attack yesterday when my 290x became stuck on a boot with nothing displaying, and I thought I was going to need to buy one of these expensive cards to replace it. Thank god it was only the graphic card bios that got corrupted, and fortunately the 290 series has dual-bios. New AMD cards are probably going to be a long way away, but I will wait for the GTX1180's launch to hope for further drop on the Vega. If they are all sold-out by then so be it.

Double-post.
Might I suggest you lay off the crack pipe for a bit?No, that's not the way the free market works. Supply and Demand is way old fashioned.

hmm i'm desperate for a new card ..but will not spend £550 on a vega 64 .. once I add the water block it's $650 and be honest it needs water to thrive ...
so if ya want to throw in a copper block .. i'll take one

Nvidia will be fine though, as they have gaming cards, so their cards are still flying out, while AMDs are now surplus to requirments, and just sitting in warehouses etc... collecting dust.

An optimist might consider these discounts a prelude to something new being on the horizon come the end of June
Good deals again Gibbo, you must have serious Jedi negotiating skills
@Gibbo has serious clout with manufacturers. That's all I have to say

Still a rip off, no thanks.

If you just want a card for gaming, you want a GeForce.
Don’t believe a word this guy says. He is clearly trying to keep Radeon all to himself selfishly. Just look at his sig
