I imagine a few have Freesync screens and wanting a GPU to power them and hence why the irritation at AMD for no news.
Literally 2 months wait for Vega, which is a short time for those waiting. No big games coming out (that I know of) in that time, so hopefully then, they will have HBM2 sorted and drivers up to scratch. Summer is here as well guys and the sun and beach are calling
On the topic of 'HBM2 shortage', does anyone know why GloFo can't produce memory?

Patents/cost/different altogether.

That'll be me then. I've got a lovely 34" 1440 Freesync screen that my Fury is managing with but I could really do with more performance. 1080 level would be fine but I'm unwilling to give up Freesync.
True, but then they should just admit to themselves that they're essentially either cash-strapped, or suckers for value-for-money. Ain't nothing bad with that. Just gotta keep waiting...
I have a Freesync 144Hz, 1440p - 27" monitor. I was hoping to get one VEGA this month but now it's too late and I don't want one anymore
I'm pretty sure HBM is patent/royalty free (at least I've seen it touted several times). And with the minimum commitment agreement between GloFo and AMD I would've thought that AMD would've pursued them making HBM as well...

Don't like the sound of any of this..... Been waiting since March. 970 still hanging in there. It's true tho that the summer is here and my gaming machine isn't going to see much action.
Winter is coming
Amen.

...you're starting the Vega 20 thread with the aim of hitting 700 pages?
Definitely August, no one here will have a RX Vega in their machine before August is my guess, well, maybe Kaapstad
Navi... Yes, that is what I am waiting for
That is not to say I won't have a Vega/Volta in my machine before that though, all depends if the games I want to play next year come out before Navi

I will leave that with TNA.
Did anyone found out what was the fps for that Prey demo? It was ~120 or close to 200?

lmao what a superb assumption. Never realised spending £600 on a monitor and a further £550 for two graphics cards meant someone was cash strapped
Hah! lol. I will start the Navi thread next if anything. But maybe even that is a bad idea, one guy got upset that I started a new thread for us (like the mods suggested we should). At least I am making the effort in keeping the OP updated, unlike the old threadI will leave that with TNA.

I don't consider myself cash strapped but if I spent that on just graphics and a monitor my girlfriend would kill me.
Hey, there's a reason they're cash-strapped...
...famous last post?

A bit of a silly statement that.

I admit it sounds odd, but my point is: either you can fork out the cash for this or you can't. If you really have that sort of money lying around, then you have no problem going for a G-Sync and a 1080ti right now. And it doesn't matter if Vega arrives and turns out to be faster than Volta.
What I'm trying to say is: I think most people (myself included), can't justify spending that much money on gaming rigs. And when they do, it's a stretch. And when the next big thing hits (and it always does hit every other year or so) they feel numb. And when they've spent £500 on a monitor, they feel locked in.
If you feel locked in, then you've overstretched. I'm not saying that in the sense that you're in poverty or something. I'm just saying that even though you actually can afford a £500 monitor and card, you can only justify that to yourself once. Then you start waiting for Vega because you have Freesync and are frustrated and vent your frustration for your first-world problems here. I can understand it but I can't empathise, because that's just me.
P.S. Maybe my viewpoint is skewed because I can actually afford to spend £1000 per year on a gaming rig, I just think it's
