Huston we have a problem. I was looking early morning and thinking it needed some retraction but todays fall is more of a reset, still bullish medium term above 1.3 or so in theory, hopefully
Might take a few months at this pace. This is why I hold some bitcoin as precarious as that supposedly is its been a nice hedge so far this year overall and I guess I'll hold on some more till we actually can buy Vega
It was a 400w 1060 competitor a month ago , so we're ascending to greatness clearly

It's not uncommon for a business to support less successful parts with cash generated by the more successful ones. This being said I doubt anyone here knows anything about AMD's R&D budget but man we sure like to speculate until we think it's become fact!

Nice, you're right I'd missed that. If I'd known Vega was going to take so long and be so underwhelming I would have snapped that up a year ago! Now I'd like something faster.

Old news now, but the FireStrike scores correlate with the Tweak Town leaks that performance of the 64 and 56 are on par with 1080 and 1070.
@beany_bot is right, every time i see GPU chat on Twitch channels, this is exactly what i see.. "AMD sucks", "Go Nvidia", "Nvidia FTW".
There is some serious fanboyism on just Twitch alone.
Do you mean his accent? lol
Yeah, and more I see this more I seem to prefer AMD for some reason. Trouble is, AMD make it hard to like/support them at times.
It good at 4k?

Have patience
. Mate just moved from a 290x to a 1080ti and so far he ain't impressed with it's 4k capability. He expected to much. Keep telling him it's a beast yet 4k gaming is still not possible if you want to turn the sliders up. He's more impressed with just how good his nearly 4 year old card is. I am much more impressed as i follow the hardware side and to me it's a really fast card. Just shows how much the performance leaps have slowed down and with 1 card 4k is still not ideal. Really think he was expecting 4 x the performance and not 2 x. Hopefully AMD get back in the game soon so we can get some real performance upgrades.

Its official - http://www.fudzilla.com/news/graphics/44230-amd-rx-vega-64-56-cards-close-to-gtx-1080-1070
I will be buying Vega64 (WC probably) pretty much because it is NOT nVidia - literally there is virtually nothing that could tempt me back to green short of them selling Ti's for £50.
The last good card I got from them was the GeForce2 Ultra 64MB AGP (£250 from ChainTech - I still have it in its box in the attic). After that it was a series of disappointments and card failures that they and their partners either took months to fix, failed to fix at all or even acknowledge as a problem for years (bumpgate). I was well gone by the time the lies started.

obviously this will mainly be guess work here, but do you chaps think the Air cooled Vega 64 will be able to achieve the same boost clocks as the liquid 64 when put in a custom loop? or do you think the liquid 64 chips are completely cherry picked to hit the higher boost clock?
Reason I ask, I'll prob just go for the air cooled 64 as I'm already rocking a custom water loop for my 390 crossfire setup. Pointless paying the extra for the liquid version as i'll want to pick up a couple goodies from EK.

Everyone can run into issues with cards, but I wouldn't blame nvidia for any of them. Why not try an EVGA card as they seem to have the best support available of any AIB?
I don't think the liquid ones will be cherry picked, the Nano version will be the cherry picked one which will come later, if it was me and I had a loop I'd just buy the reference cheapest one I could find.
