With a 970 and a crappy tear happy monitor do you think I should use fast sync rather than adaptive vsync? (Even with adaptive it tears)

Since I bought my 1700 I've had to cap the frames in BF1 to 60 fps as system too fast now for monitor.

Only one way to find out really - test it and see.

One thing worth testing with FastSync as well is the effects of things like framerate caps (generally you don't want them) and max pre-rendered frames - not sure if the nVidia drivers over-ride it in FastSync mode or not but some games have their own setting - increasing it slightly can potentially actually have positive effects with FastSync especially if you are using low values for minimum latency.
 
Top RX Vega to cost same as GTX 1080Ti

https://www.nordichardware.se/nyheter/radeon-rx-vega-prislapp-sverige.html

NordicHardware has obtained preliminary pricing information from Swedish distributors where the Radeon RX Vega price tag lands around 7,000 SEK excluding VAT. However, this is the purchase price for retailers and with VAT as well as own margins it seems to be a price tag that rarely lands at around SEK 9,000 including VAT. Sources of NordicHardware also testify that prices are generally different between manufacturers and models, and prices are currently without any detailed specifications. In other words, there is a possibility that the final retail prices change at the last minute, but our sources mean that prices are real and final. Something that made people transparent to Swedish dealers expresses the following around;

Sources to SweClockers have informed us of prices at around €900 to €1000 with tax, something that has also been confirmed by Swedish sources. This would mean a price of about 9000 Swedish Crowns for the top end card - in line with the top of the line GTX 1080TI models.

At that price it's €200 more than some AIB 1080Tis. It can compete?!?!

Lmao this whole thing seems off. Priced around 1080ti with so far 1080 performance. The magical Merlin driver better come or the Vega we have all seen is not the full core :D:D:D. A 600w beast is incoming lmao. Psu to run your card and another to run your system once overclocked.

9000 SEK is around £840. That puts it at the very top end of the 1080ti price structure. Something is very wrong with this, 4 days to find out of it's the source or AMD's pricing.

Either it can compete or and have yet to plonk the final pricing on it, that can change right to to the last minute.

I doubt it given what we have seen so far tbh, I hope I'm proved wrong though!

In before they've only been showing/demoing cut down Vega Pro; and FE really was from borked revision that's terrible for 3D but decent'ish at compute.

I would assume they are talking about the AIO water version and not the stock cooler. Aio gtx1080ti's are £799.99. Still that's still lower priced and if the performance gap is what we suspect then it's an utter fail of a price.

This pricing wouldn't fit in with the 4k build for $1000 that Raja was going on about. Maybe the cut down card will be way cheaper. Possibly the top xtx will only come in AIO variants and will have a nice performance gap to the xt and the xl cut down version is the 4k at $1000 build he was talking about.

If the launch day reviews are comparing it directly to the 1080ti that looks promising at least, more so combined with 1080ti pricing.

Then again AMD could have just lost the plot ^^

"We've managed to best the Titan Xp in workstation tasks with FE; and now with Vega XTX managed to best it once again in gaming. By 33%!*"

*Testing was done with Sniper Elite at 8K, 8x SSAA. Vega XTX managed 3FPS. Titan Xp 2 FPS
 
All the talk of NVIDIA'S G-Sync tax, how many of you honestly believe that NVIDIA have any say In the price set for most of these monitors.

They are that price because they will sell at that price not because NVIDIA has any say in it.


If NVIDIA really wanted to sink Vega they could just adopt the Adaptive Sync standard as G-Sync lite and make the AMD argument a completely moot point.

That would be 50% quicker...even more pumped for release day now

This is not true and monitor makers have said that extra costs go into designing a G-Sync monitor and the sales are not high so the price has to be to make a profit. This does not need to be done with Freesync hence the savings.

Some display makers say Nvidia’s module requires more room inside the monitor enclosure. While that may not seem like a big deal, creating a custom product design for one type of monitor raises development costs considerably, says Minhee Kim, a leader of LG’s PC and monitor marketing and communications. By comparison, Kim says, AMD’s approach is more open, in that monitor makers can include the technology in their existing designs.

“Set makers could adopt their technology at much cheaper cost with no need to change design,” Kim says. “This makes it easier to spread models not only for serious gaming monitors but also for mid-range models.”
