Best option is to ignore Vega, miners will ruin pricing just wait for Volta/Navi, AMD will hopefully make massive amounts out of the miners and improve AMD's GPU department.
 
It's not going to be sub £400, with a $399 USD RRP. Esp when 580s are £300+ atm anyhow...

Vega is a bust.

And besides, even if it was £350, this late in the day many are looking forward to Volta and aren't super excited about matching Pascal's perf/$.

This true. But not if you have a Freesync monitor.

I don't :p You might be the only person with a monitor older than mine :p Bought mine in 2012, pre-dating the *syncs.

I completely hate the idea of competing *sync standards. It effectively means I can't upgrade my monitor. I refuse to be locked in to one side or the other.

Very true.

Wonder how the AIO vega will do
 
It's clearly blazingly fast for workstation, deep learning and data centre type scenarios, yet really hasn't improved much if at all in gaming. Also looks like it's going to be extremely fast for hashing.

If in 2-3 months it's not a lot faster in games (drivers / game patches), then I'll really struggle to get my head round what has gone wrong. As far as we know, it really doesn't have much if any specialised hardware for the former that should limit performance of the latter.

Bandwidth couldn't be the only answer, since plenty of the former workloads desperately want it too, including hashing.
 
Looking at the graph it seems to suggest just over a 15% improvement when you overclock the reference blower card on launch day. It suggests the 56 is going to beat the 1070 and the 64 will beat the 1080, but I don't see any way the water version is going to catch the 1080ti.

Obviously we are looking at day one drivers on a leaked result and we don't have any water benchmarks yet, but if you take the overclocked Fury Vs the Overclocked 64 it points at a over 35% improvement generation on generation. That would have been a pretty decent result if it wasn't for just how epic the 1080ti has proven to be both vanilla and once you overclock it.

Overall it looks like a decent card, just a bit late and it is disappointing that even with the extra time they have not been able to claim the overall crown.

It will be interesting to see what AdoredTV comes up with benching and tweaking the water version, especially since I assume he is going to be doing it on his new threadripper system.

The problem for the water is going to be the power draw for overclocking to get even close to a Ti

Most people don't have 800+W PSU's so if it's a choice between £700 for the water & £100+ for a decent new PSU to power it or £650 to £800 for a Ti most would opt for the Ti as there would still be room for OC'ing the TI to get even more performance for less money spent overall. Sure you'll get a nice new PSU so there is that incentive but I don't think it's enough of an incentive for most to opt towards.

That is assuming the AIO Vega will be around the £700 mark as speculated, it may be more (would be suicide for AMD) or it may be less (but then maybe Ti prices come down as a result)

It's certainly going to be an interesting week though

AdoredTV is going fine on the water version with a 750w PSU so that looks to be less of an issue.

I just don't see water adding even close to the extra 30% of performance they would need to to catch the 1080ti. Unless there is significant extra headroom to be gained with drivers over the next 6 months... although it being AMD that is always possible.

22,600 GPU score for Vega 64. Wooooooow.....

My 1070, 20,600 GPU score.

Seen 25k on an FE card. Blows the 1070 out of the water but the ti is a good step above. Vega 56 looks to be a better buy if it can oc to nearly

Look like HardwareUnboxed review of RX Vega 56 average performance on 26 games at 1080p is on par with stock GTX 1070.

RX Vega will not be a successful but a massive failure for RTG, no point to upgrade if you already has either Fury X, GTX 980 Ti, GTX 1070 or GTX 1080.

This guy :D:D:D:D. Seriously how much per hour are you on. Gauranteed it's not enough.
