Poll: The Vega Review Thread.

What do we think about Vega?

  • What has AMD been doing for the past 1-2 years?

  • It consumes how many watts and is how loud!!!

  • It is not that bad.

  • Want to buy but put off by pricing and warranty.

  • I will be buying one for sure (I own a Freesync monitor so have little choice).

  • Better red than dead.

I bet it's in response to people saying how the free items aren't free as the cards with games cost £110 more than the cards without the games, The solution: Put the prices of the cards without games up to the same price as those with games. Genius....

You're right, card on its own is now the same price as the one with the Free Games :D :D :D

this is what puts me off buying any console. if only they had mouse support... plus the online fee would make you end up spending more in the long run :D

so if I got a console all I could play are third person games

dont forget 30fps too! yuck :p

Why are AMD struggling with volume?

Nvidia seem to not have this issue.

I don't think AMD are losing any sleep about the small fry seeing shortages for gaming.

Apple noted the performance in professional work and they got busy together.

I found it interesting to know that Vega 56 and Vega 64 will be sandwiched into the new imac pros which are a screen with a computer stuffed into the back. Alongside an 8, 10 or 18 core Xeon cpu, so a beefy workstation.

Looks like the insides will bear zero resemblance to a regular pc, a circuit board of an older one I've seen shows gpu components rearranged on a large custom board that also holds the cpu socket and everything else normally on a motherboard.

Anyway, as thingy suggested, Apple may once again be a suitable target of blame for component shortage. Any Vegas reaching the shelves may be the trickle that isn't earmarked for imac stockpiling for the launch in december.

So after all the argy bargy that it's not competitive enough for gaming it's being packed away in apple computers for professional use which is appropriate.

Could be why there's shortages, sounds more realistic that it really is due to professional use noting the good professional performance rather than miners doing something very stupid or hordes of people wanting one for a Freesync screen.
