Not surprised. Well I hope they realise that the longer they take, the cheaper they will have to be. For me anyway. But they are better of delaying than getting slaughtered in reviews I suppose.

in the original post where that chart came from, it was said that it would only affect "custom" RX Vega parts. There is still Reference parts that can and are likely to launch.

Yeah I caught that, hopefully it's true (custom cards tend to come a fair way after too).

Too obvious a marketing opportunity for AMD, won't happen.

If it's using more CPU then that's a good sign that Vega under DX12 shouldn't have the CPU draw call bottlenecks that we saw in previous generation of cards under DX11.

If the rumour of the reference model being $599 is true it'll need to be extra special to sell for that.

Yup but time is precious as well.am piling up an inventory of games that i will be playing on my new Ryzen + Vega system.. one is probably languishing in some warehouse and the other is yet to be produced... sometimes i feel like getting 2 ti's but now i have invested so much time in vega

Yes Hungary is probably one of the largest markets for RTG.. makes perfect sense
Too expensive unless as you say it is something extra special. The XTX should be that price at the most is my expectation. But if that rumour is true the XTX will end up being £600+ which to that I will say no thanks and wait for Volta sadly
We need price for performance to improve 12+ months on, not stay the same or get worse.

If it is that much I'll try not too.

Yep, price will definitely matter. It needs to be very competitive as they are very late to the game and less efficient. Otherwise will hang on as I got a 7970 recently and that plays everything I am currently interested in playing anyway. Replaying a new Deus Ex mod called GMDX which runs nice and smooth maxed out at 4K
My other games I just play 1080p on my Plasma TV, so happy to wait for Volta if AMD over price
Have you tried Dues Ex Revision? It's free if you own the original on Steam.

It's getting later and later
The smart move will be waiting to see what Volta's all about if Vega get's any later. That said there was a rumour about a shrunken Pascal being a possibility and it makes sense if the competition isn't there,
The positive for getting Vega is you know it's gonna take AMD forever to get Navi out the door so you'll remain the priority for a lot longer than Nvidia's gpu's.
Could be, Or maybe they're just using a show other's are doing and tagging along.
AMD do something like that with Hawaii. They booked a room next door to where an Nvidia event was taking place and then invited the gathering press to come around for tea, biscuits & a sneak peak at the 290x giving the Titan a run for it's money.
If Sapphire do something similar to the Fury Tri-x and it has the same chip & performance as the water-cooled version I may go with that.
The one thing I don't want this time around is the cut down version.
Genuine question. . .Apart from the obvious 'decrease in performance' why would having the cut down version be bad? Im not saying that you said "it would be bad" btw. . Im just wondering
Yep. Played that on release. That game added and changed quite a few things about the game, GMDX tries to stick more closely to the original from what I can see so far. Really enjoying it
Which is ironic considering how much the HBCC has been advertised as a major improvement. I wonder if something's not working correctly there of if it's HBM2 related, or if something's just disabled (or enabled which would not be in the gaming card)...

I was the same with Ryzen, so many times i had a 7700k in the basket.. i held off and the reward was worth it
By then it has already launched though.
