True, I think you should do one owners thread, As we saw with the Fury X, Fury Pro and Nano owner threads they're not likely to get that many names, At least not more than one thread can handle and it'll look better than three half empty threads. Three threads is also a waste of your time.

when did we ever trust slides coming from either AMD or NVidia?
Good point.
Well I'd take their performance quoted with a best case/ pinch of salt but given the performance quoted was hardly spectacular I'm happy to 'give them' that even though I know in reality it will struggle in DX11.when did we ever trust slides coming from either AMD or NVidia?
I've been wondering why amd have asked reviewers to prioritize the 56, my gut feeling is the 64 will be slightly faster than a 1080 and priced to close to the ti which is hardly a compelling purchase but the 56 will beat the 1070 and with custom cooling and a bit of overclocking could be chasing the 1080.
So hopefully 1080 performance for 1070 money will do me.
Anyways not long now and all will be clear

I think the 56 ideally I'd want a 300 pound price, that's the only thing that'd be disruptive to the market if it can perform 1080 level when overclocked.
But the 56 is not going to be available for purchase tomorrow (maybe pre-order?) so I'm struggling to see the point of prioritising it.

But since its $399 that isnt going to happen for 6-12 months probably - and as brexit continues to lower the exchange rate to below $1/£1 it probably never will until there is a fire-sale at EOL.

399 dollars will end up at 400 pound. If it's in between the 1070 and 1080 then it's still a meh, as it's in between them price wise too.

So what did you find out? Lol
It does seem sad they would show off the nice holocube, then later send out the cheap underwhelming one. Worse part, if I purchased an overpriced liquid edition. I bet I would get no cube. AMD marketing right there...
Sometimes I feel if AMD had no marketing department, they would be better off
Apparantly they never said that the card would come with one, it was meerly a "stage aid" for want of a better phrase.
This is my point amd rushed out the 56 cards to the reviewers and ask them to prioritize so surely must have had a reason to do so
My feeling is it doesn't look good for the 64 price / performance wise.

Whatever I do it will depend on price but I also have a Freesync monitor so that'll influence it as well.
If the water cooled version costs more than a 1080ti I probably won't buy it and I'm not interested in a blower card, If I don't go with a Vega I'm not sure if buying either a 1080 or 1080ti would be a smart move at the moment either so I may wait watch how it affects pricing and listen out for Volta news.
That is just silly then in my opinion. Get consumers wet in the mouth for something they cannot have.
I can just imagine it Gregster, if they sold them and you got it; people would ask you, so which Vega card you rocking mate? You would be like Vega? No, I got a 1080Ti mateAgreed. What was the point of showing it off if consumers can't get one
I need a new card to replace my 280x and want decent upgrade for around £300 not bothered if it's vega 56 or 1070.
If I get the vega I will probably grab that new samsung 32" fastsync monitor that's coming out at some point and If I get the 1070 I will probably just stick to my tv and use fastsync.
Hopefully prices will come down a bit for me with this release.
