What trend? Business model has not changed so moot point

agreed, don't rush and don't ever pay full price. Yes, you will never get a new game on release day, but it will save your sanity since you won't have to put up with the bugs either
The demos of Doom and Sniper Elite 4 already show it's ahead of the 1080. The big question is whether it can match a 1080ti. Even if doesn't, aggressive pricing would make it a worthy alternative.
Also greatly depends on what drivers the FE demos were run on. Were they Radeon Pro drivers, or Beta RX Gaming ones?
Either way I do expect a performance bump ones the consumer gaming card is released, but FE should be a nice eye opener.

The Doom demo was suppposedly running on Fiji drivers with a debugging layer.

Was mentioned when they showed it off to the press back in December.

Which means the Vega architecture is quite similar to Fuji otherwise the river wouldn't work at all.

Or it accepts similar instruction sets? Doesn't necessarily mean it's based on the same architecture.
Thanks.

Indeed. Same can be said for hardware too. Or cars even.agreed, don't rush and don't ever pay full price. Yes, you will never get a new game on release day, but it will save your sanity since you won't have to put up with the bugs either
They can't. Cheap keys tend to come from places where the average income is very low.
Those keys aren't going anywhere without them losing a load of sales.
was vega 10 and 11 ever official names?
Code names, like Fiji, Polaris, Tahiti XT and so on.
Vega only because the consumer card name because AMD saw just how popular it was online.

Except it is the biggest change since the introduction of GCN

Considering the previous GCN changes have been quite iterative then it doesn't necessarily mean a great deal.

I tend to do just that but the rise in average game prices puts me off even buying a game I'm looking forward too until it's months old,
What trend? Business model has not changed so moot point
The trend is in rising prices, not that long ago AAA games tended to be around £35-£40, then the dlc's started and the season passes came along increasing the total cost by around £15-£20 quid, That made the total price off a game roughly £50-£60, Nowadays prices have increased by another £15-£25, even more sometimes so yes there is a trend even if you choose not too see it or care it is there.
Maybe if you buy foreign codes and then use Russian addresses you still get a decent deal but isn't that illegal? Since the key sites have really taken off the savings found on them has gotten smaller and smaller.
