Well, in fairness the RX400 had good performance for watt, nobody cared, looks like this time they are just focusing on performance and hoping that gains some traction.
It Needs to lower than nv equivalent pascal. Remember those are benchmarks vs FE cards not AIB!! Lets see how it is vs 1080 ftw or some gigabyte 1080 hahaaha.

Where pray tell? Cheapest I've seen in a long time was the £639 preorder here. Even then the Vega 64 at that price makes no sense.
That makes little sense as the performance isn't there compared to cards in the same price range? At least the RX480 (before mining pump) was a good price for cards in that price range.
Most of us AMD fans would be wiling to let slide the power consumption and even the price but the performance id not there for what they are charging and heat.
I could not care about 500w if it was performing 10%-20% faster than 1080TI.
I'm not a fanboy and I hate the power consumption but my gaming is racing games rfactor 2 mainly, with that, guys in our league who have 1080ti's complain of massive fps drops I'm guessing it's game issues more than nvidia issues, but my r9 390 runs triple screens with no issues, the downside is it battles with games like project cars so all I'm after is something that will let me run both well, I'm hoping the vega 64 will be the answer because I fear a 1080 will run pcars fine but give me issues in rfactor2
AMD’s FineWine will ensure it will catch up to the 1080ti in time but Volta will be out by that time. I am not getting this card because of my 650W PSU being insufficient for it but if I had a 1000W PSU I would still get Vega over a 1080 as the performance will only improve over time while the 1080 is a done deal.
People constantly arguing it's overpriced before the prices actually appear on the website
It's only 4 hours left to find out for real instead of stating as fact the unsure.
Exactly, time to hit the trail for my 4 hour burn. Back by 2 hopefully lol
Problem is there is no performance to be had for that 520W furnace of a potato.
980Ti was released on the 2nd of june 2015, so we are all waiting here to get the same performance 2 years and 3 months later, for 500W and pay more for it ? Sounds good ?

So are the US RRP figures quoted unofficial?

We know the dollar price and how that converts and it puts the water cooled RX Vega at the same price as the £640 non reference Gigabyte 1080ti.
They're not guesses they're confirmed numbers.
It's called AMD's user promise not Fine Wine.

We know the $ price as it was at the end of July - they may have revised things to be more reasonable, probably not but you never know.

Not seen it in 2 days and here 24/7
Are at these power consumption figures at the wall or at the PCI-E power connectors??
They're for the card only.

hardto resist the Silver water edition just for looks and having a free-sync screen at home .
seen a review site has Alphacool AIO attached to an Air Vega 64 so interesting to see how it can do pushed - will the TDP limit hold it back

Okay I'm confused why people are still bothered.
We know for 99% certain that the Vega64 is 1080 performance level for double the power consumption and the same price almost a year later. Then we have the Vega64 AIO which will likely be just below 1080ti price inbetween 1080 and Ti performance for double the power consumption of the 1080Ti.
Finally we have the Vega54, which is likely the main alternative to Nvidia 1070 and the only Vega remotely worth thinking about at that price and performance level.
So why are people still bothered? Even for AMD die hards with Freesync monitors it would be more worth while to sell up and just buy a 1080Ti with a Gsync monitor.
Overall very disappointing as I wanted AMD to really take it to Nvidia, instead it's like they are purposely bending over and taking one hard up the GPU dirty pipe.
The only reason AMD might succeed here is if the mining hearsay of 60-100 is real, which it won't be and I think we all know the "friend of a friend said" thing was just a way of a certain retailer to build up hype for the miners so they can price hike on launch.
