I think that at £450 the Rx Vega is a worthwhile upgrade, I am a little tied in because of freesync.
Why anyone would buy an Rx Vega at £600 is beyond me, there isn't £600 worth of performance.
If I wasn't tied in to freesync I would have gone Nvidia.
I have an Rx Vega and am most happy with the performance (beta drivers) upgrade from my 290X, power isn't much of an issue the 290X is 290w.

Could not be bothered to fire up a Titan Xp so just used an ordinary Titan P.
Same settings as Hexus
Pascal Titan stock clocks
6950X @4.0 (Hexus had an advantage as they had their CPU @4.4)
Goodness knows how they do their reviews as my score is quite a bit higher than theirs.

Yeah. Some times I wish had the time to create my own channel/website.
Cannot believe some of those guys, youtubers also, get hundreds of thousands worth of free gear every year, and doing botched jobs. :/
I don't even need the gear. Just be loaned them to run the reviews and return them back.

Meanwhile, in Australia, I can get screwed for $899AUD for a Vega 64 air reference - no bundle (24-48hrs) or pay $699 for a Galax GeForce GTX 1080 EX OC (in stock). Same seller, not even a look around.
$200 more for what?
I'm an AMD diehard but this is just retarded.

That's not what he's saying though is it.
Compare the price AFTER you've figured out what it compres to with regard performance. Once you know it's performance then you can judge whether or not it's VFM from it's price.
No point comparing two cards at the same price if one isn't even in the same league of performance.
I disagree two equally priced cards in the same gaming market are going to be compared. It's as good a comparison as any. The fact that one rips the other a new one means its performance is very poor indeed and that's what it's judged on. I know AMD would like it to be compared to a lower tier Nv card but then they should price it as such.
Edit:
A similar example I went shopping for a bike recently with a budget of £500. I looked around at what I could get for £500 and chose the bike that offered the best specification at that price. I think that's how people shop generally as in I have £xxx to spend on a gpu what offers me the best performance at that price.

But price is what denotes what one can afford.

If you chaps can prove that you get different scores to those you see in reviews with identical hardware components, software versions, and test configuration then you have a point - and should challenge the reviewer directly, as they do sometimes make mistakes. Otherwise, the simpler and likelier explanation is that without replicating their set-up and testing exactly, you're bound to get different scores.

The card is good, bar power and heat. But the launch and reception of price could not have gone any worse.
Pretty bad launch all in all.

Is this super Vega out yet?.... Been checking this forum for a year and boring.... Glad I went 1080ti
Maybe hexus did screw the graph, tell them, I grabbed a random example.
But what's this comprehension failure when people are saying this:

It's pretty simple.
RX Vega 64: £548.99
Geforce GTX1080ti: £649.99
VEGA Frontier Edition: £899.99
Nvidia Titan XP: £1149
If you're looking for a card for professional use then depending on your software the Vega cards match or beat the Pascal ones at every price point. This is one of the big reasons it's done so well but for some reason people keep trying to dismiss the appeal of Vega for professional use (presumably because acknowledging it would debunk the fake narrative that they're terrible cards and only miners want them) but it's definitely there. A friend of mine even held off ordering new workstations until he could secure V64 cards for them (enabling him to order the workstations with the cheapest GPU option then replace, it's common practice in the field).
And as for the "not £600 of performance" that's 100% true, but then none of the four cards above are worth their price just for their gaming performance, they all have tricks up their sleeves that make them appeal to different buyers.
That's literally the same comparison, just starting at different ends.

Comparing the price of two equally performing cards is
The exact same comparison. Value/money.
