Just ordered the AIO 64 at £638. Man my adrenaline is still pumping after going through the finance agreement which seemed to take forever then worrying there would still be some left at the end of the process. Now to spend the rest of the day reading reviews...
 
The problem is, even if the reference RX Vega 64 settles at £450, that means the actually worthwhile ones (for those without custom water cooling loops) will be £500-550. :(

I'd laugh so much if nVidia announce they are adding FreeSync support to their cards tomorrow. It'd make Vega completely and utterly useless in every way.
 
So AMD made a big hoohah about the performance/watt metric of the Polaris but nVidia were actually more efficient? And now they seemed to have gone backwards again!?
 
Well, had a look at the Radeon RX Liquid Edition reviews and it has not beat the 1080Ti in any games. Most of them it does not even come close.
 
I'm in the market for new graphics card and 1440 monitor. Have no interest in vega64 but hoped it would bring down 1080 prices but I doubt that will happen.

Vega56 looks a decent card and would save me paying a fortune for a gsync monitor. Either way will have to wait as I won't but a reference card.
 
Performance is good for the base model price of £450 but that power consumption is poor atrocious. AMD have got worse, not better since Fury X.

I did order a stock model that I will use with my Freesync 4k Monitor because the 4k performance is ~25% higher than my Fury X, with the added bonus it will overclock. The prices on the water-cooled version is extortionate IMHO, no way worth an extra £200. I have been very critical of Nvidia charging £600+ for GPUs, so it would be hypocritical for me to claim that AIO version is worth the price.
