I want a card capable of running 4K VR (or higher res) and the VR headset. That will see me happy

Cutting edge eh? I hope so
I predicted TitanXP/1080Ti level of performance for top Vega about a year ago now, but that does not look like it is happening on release. Though with their fine wine tech it maybe true in 2-3 years time
As long it it is priced for the performance it gives today, then I am happy, as the fine wine part then becomes free performance in the future.

The 1080 was perfect for me @ 1440P and let me run with pretty much all settings maxed, so 1080 or above will see you smiling in games
Exactly it's why I'm going to be okay with GTX 1080 performance.
There'll be plenty of occasions when it will but not with modern triple a titles, 60+ will be great, I've a ultrawide1440 which is only 75hz but as long as I can get my games to stay above 60 with minimal fuss it'll be fine, I'm not a competitive gamer who needs higher framerates.

It'll be interesting to see what they do to entice us to upgrade when we do finally have gpu's capable of running 4k VR, 4k & uw4k at 144hz.

If what I was told and saw demoed some 6 months ago at an AMD event is true it should be there or there about. We may yet be pleasantly surprised.

Me neither, but 60-80fps @ 1440p on highest settings is my main goal. 144fps in some games would be a nice bonus

I am happy with 60fps at 4K. I hardly need AA and tend to turn off a bunch of other settings I find useless like DoF, motion blur, chromatic aberration etc which then frees up a bunch of fps.

That could well be the case. Falling behind in DX11 titles is a story we are all too familiar with. For me, I will probably buy one if the wife lets me and if they meet what I am looking for. Only problem is, I am not really sure what I am looking for and really my whole system needs some modernizing.
You know this when your laptop out performs it in basically every metric for a fraction of the power

If it's 1080 performance I want it at 400 tops.

Remember guys Vega is just a graphics card.
Reading through some of the previous pages you might think otherwise
Yea, no big deal right, why worry about it when you can just buy 4 every time a new one comes outRemember guys Vega is just a graphics card.
You guys do also realise that AMD sorted out their dx 11 performance/frame latency along time ago now.... IIRC, it was with the the omega drivers?
Also, AMD did some stuff on the hardware side for polaris including a way of handling the over used tessellation in nvidia's games according to matt on here.

£400 sounds nice for that kind of performance. If AMD are going for the same kind of product placement that they did with Ryzen then anything is possible. The last time I remember AMD/ATI releasing such a large core in relation to what was around at the time we had 9700 Pro, that card at that time was epic, nothing came close. Now I am not saying that Vega will or can pull off an upset but its certainly interesting looking on if you are a fan of tech

Hopefully we'll get close to that, One of the great things about going with AMD is that we get cards that keep their priority in AMD's eye's for much longer, For example the Fiji cards are two years old so they've been flagships for an age in tech terms where as Nvidia has gone through 5 flagship cards, Based on how hard Vega's been for RTG I'm betting we won't see Navi for a good 18 months meaning that those who buy RX Vega will get their money's worth, as we have with Fiji.

Poor choice of words?
They should start putting a chilli on the reference card design. It would be apt for them and a good joke!

I guess time will tell in the meantime it has come to my attention that the card is clearly somewhere above 1,000,000 on the scoville scale. Right now we are trying to work out if that is just the heat its producing or if that is related to performance
Well at some point you need to start pushing new technologies and methods of doing things. But im certainly not the one to say when it is the right time. Perhaps the required investment to get dx11 spotless for AMD is just to much? that said my rx 480 had no issues with the dx11 games that i played. Was a awesome card for the price i paid.
