Poll: ** The AMD VEGA Thread **

[ltron]

Well I missed out..... have to wait till September apparently. Pretty gutted really

For a card that most are slating, they seem to be selling pretty well......

It's probably miners buying most them, unfortunately. This is a pity for gamers, let's hope it doesn't happen with the 56.

Maybe they should start naming the architectures after coal mines

Or how about the RX Scargill?

I think that would suit the hot air blower model don't you?

I like what a certain *ahem* Micro firm over the pond did. If you wanted one, it was normal price. If you wanted more than one, the price was $800 each.

Vega is good, but it is so far from great that I don't see how a Vega refresh can help AMD beat NVIDIA. NVIDIA can react in multiple ways: Drop GTX 1070/1080 pricing (but this isn't going to happen) NVIDIA refreshes Pascal with GTX 1170/1180 NVIDIA destroys AMD with early consumer Volta-based GeForce cards NVIDIA will not be dropping the prices of GTX 10 series cards, I know that much and have had that confirmed by NVIDIA. The refreshed Pascal GPUs sound like the go, but NVIDIA isn't being threatened by any Radeon RX Vega series card, period. If NVIDIA really were threatened, and they aren't, they could just dump consumer Volta to the market with GV102.

I think this is warranted. What fun the fermi launch was.
