I am after some RX Vega's but I am not going to pay that much for them, i'd rather wait.

They are still in stock so there doesn't seem to be that much demand

Surprised the miners havn't snapped them up

Maybe, just maybe even they aren't completely stupid.

Ive always enjoyed custom sapphire cards but if this price is as they reckon then no, too much.

That is obviously a big problem for Vega 64 when we consider the fact that GTX 1080s can be had for as little as £499.99. The obvious question is, then, why would anyone buy a Vega 64 card when it is slower, more power-hungry and about £150 more expensive?

Have we reached 'peak insanity' for GPU's yet with these prices?

Mining aside, this feels like an even worse launch than Fury. Will a node shrink turn things around?

Still flabbergasted my 290 is still keeping its head above the water (1440p is definitely more of a struggle with newer games but usually it's easily fixed/tweaked).

So there will be no extra performance from Custom cards, just better/quieter cooling. Which I guess most people suspected would be the case.

The reference cards with a two quick tweaks get better results than the custom cards without needing a third power connector.

Looking back, those people who bought the Liquid Cooled Vega cards for £599 got a great deal and those who were lucky enough to get the reference cards at launch didn't do to bad either.

In the top PC World review he say's

The Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 64 Limited Edition eliminates Vega's heat and noise issues with the most impressive cooling we've seen, but its performance doesn't match its price

and he's talking about the $650 American pricing not £750 like it's priced here at OCUK.

LoadsaMoney · 15 Dec 2017 at 17:42

Cracking price that, same as the reference.

nashathedog · 15 Dec 2017 at 17:51

It seems Sapphire have done a great job like they usually do but I'm gonna give Vega a miss. I'll reconsider if it hits $600 once they stop selling, I can't see that taking long.
