VEGA 64 UK PRICES

[Gregster]

Who gives a **** if the price is £900 and the miners snap then up? If it's a card for mining, then so what. The miners get their card, the retailers get their sales and AMD get some moneh.

I can't argue with this. Sales for AMD are sweet and needed. I hope gamers and miners get all they need

£900 would still be a terrible spot, even if 60MH/s was CONFIRMED it doesn't make an attractive mining prospect. £600 would be in line with 60MH/s when you look at competing cards... but again, that would need to be 60MH/s+ confirmed, not just a rumour spread by gibbo to nefariously boost sales I'm probably going to go 1080ti and pick up the Asus X35 when it releases to replace my XR34 if the Vega is at those obscene prices, the ball is firmly in AMD's park....

The market dictates the price, and in recent years the market hasn't been interested in AMD at the high end. In fact, it was probably the last mining boom that kept AMD going in sales. At that point, Nvidia released Maxwell and the gamers weren't interested in AMD (and haven't been interested since).

Also, if benchmarks are to be believed then AMD will be relying on miners for sales at high end price points.

It's a strange card

On one hand it's an epic fail for gamers

On the other it's awesome sauce for miners!

Personally I reckon it'll be about £550-600, if it goes much higher then it'll be price gouging due to miners.

I keep my 1080 and 1070 with my freesync monitor if it turns out to be that price!

So sad, It sounds like I should have bought a G-sync panel.

AMD have really screwed the pooch with this release.

I spent over £800 on a freesync monitor this week...

That's a lot for a monitor but at least Freesync didn't add the same sort of cost as a G-sync version would have.

I sold my Fury a few months ago and then couldn't get a 580 as planned so I grabbed a 1060 while waiting for Vega and in all honesty not having Freesync on with this particular monitor (75hz uw1440) hasn't been an issue,
With that in mind I may just grab a 1070, 1080 or ti if Vega's too much.

You could probably mine 1 bitcoin a day with all your cards lol

Have you counted them or is it a secret?

What is your favourite?

I have got about 50 GPUs, it is no secret.

I have 12, unfortunately half a them are from the 90s. A few Voodoo and Orchid cards in the mix. 12MB SLI lol

Easily sorted.



And then

You kept that a secret. I didn't know

You've got too many when you say "about"

Still time to take it back!

Were you aware of Vega price/performance before buying?

 

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

Same old story. Launch prices are high due to companies taking advantage of early adopters.

Wait a few weeks,and prices usually drop down,especially if competitors do some price drops of their own.

That usually only happens if something is good and worth having. Which Vega doesn't seem to be.

Unbelievable, Moves like this don't work if you tell someone who then tells the rest of the world.

Using bots to buy cards on mass is one thing, using them to buy cards one or two at a time using a voucher code and sending them to separate addresses because sales are limited per household is a completely different kettle of fish.

 

[spoffle]

Love how people thinj thise aee not prices. When we git preorders from all over workd with 100 bucjs ob top of what amd said .
Even if vega 64 was 600 with vat its still too much with performance kike it is... I rather preorder that 1080 for 639.

What?

 

[opethdisciple]

What?

I think he means 1080ti

 

[Gerard]

Not sure why people think retailers overpricing the cards will benefit amd, they're already bought and paid for by the retailers at a fixed price, its not like the retailers will be sending any additional profit back to amd.

 

[zophiel]

because the general theme of all these vega threads is that people are stupid. they cant read what in front of them. there is no real price information, until the final driver releases are done nobody knows how its going to perform really. then you have the obvious nv trolls who derail every thread, and the amd trolls who try to counter them, there is no real balanced view points just mock rage from both sides.

hopefully once this card gets into circulation it will all calm down and we can see some real results from some real prices.
