If you're after a 56, id try and get in quick on launch to pay the launch price, as once all gone, they'll be going up in price, will be more expensive than the 1080! 
Also worth noting that the V56 may have higher demand than the V64 did because it's just as good for mining but cheaper (both cards have the same memory, just the V64 has a factory overclock, when the V56 is clocked to match the difference is negligible). It still can't beat the GTX1070 while using more power, but as it should cost less than the V64 it's a less dumb decision.

And make sure you order before 2:05, because at 2:06 stock will be over-allocated by 150 cards and you'll end up with a pre-order instead.
So that's what happened.. ordered at 2.06, along with an Oculus (which was also in stock at the time) only to get an email today saying the item's not in stock and they'll ship once it's back in. Have to wait on both now..And make sure you order before 2:05, because at 2:06 stock will be over-allocated by 150 cards and you'll end up with a pre-order instead.
Yup, same thing happened to me. 10+ aio cards showing as in stock, i order one and nothing besides an order confirmation. I call today and was told it was a pre-order, which i then cancelled. Considering the listing went live on the forum at that time i fail to see how the hell all the aio cards sold in mere seconds, they supposedly had 1000 cards, obviously not all aio but id be surprised if there wasn't a decent stock of the aio model. And since that the price has ratcheted up so meh.
Referencing competitors is against forum rules, you need to amend that.

VEGA IS FINALLY HERE, BUT DOESN'T FULLY WORK
VEGA IS FINALLY HERE, BUT DOESN'T FULLY WORK
Meh. I took one look at the £599 prices today after reading some reviews and bought a 1080 Ti. That thing cost £676. I really wanted something for my 3440x1440 freesync display too but come on, that pricing is the best Nvidia advertisement.
Hypothetically Vega 56 should go for £349 that would be a really attractive proposition as you could get some 75+ pints for the difference but I have no trust it'll really be for sale for that price point for ore than about half an hour.. Perhaps for Xmas you could get a good deal..

I'm genuinely very VERY happy that I was one of the lucky few who got one of the 64's at the £449 price.
Before sales went live I was set on £475 as the absolute MAX that I would pay for the 64, and I still think that that's the maximum the reference card should be. £550 is really a silly RRP for this card regardless of bundled games (imo £500-550 should be top tier AIB prices)

I'd argue at that price range (£450-500) if you have Freesync already or some other requirement that Nvidia doesn't support / live up to the 64 is at least reasonably priced
For me the open source Linux drivers are the main factor
If the AIO had been £550 I would happily pay that. No chance at the price it launched at or the ridiculous price it is now. I understand all the factors in play with pricing, but I refuse to pay over the odds. I'll wait now until pricing becomes sensible or Nvidia release their next offering.
When the V64 was £450 it was a pretty even field, the 1080 had energy saving, G-Sync, PhysX and a slight lead in some games going for it. The V64 had FreeSync, a slight lead in some games (with the likelihood this would increase with mature drivers) and a large lead in non-games going for it.
Of course with it at lol prices the 1080 is the clear choice unless you want it for a workstation.

What Bios was it on? switch on the card for two states- as another member has suggested theres actually 6 combo's for the cards

I notice that the banner background on the shop site have already gone back to Threadripper from Vega. Bit soon? Maybe at £550 there is not much point pushing them.

AFAICT it's more to do with there being no more stock of Vega 64 variants until mid September. And Vega 56 launches in just under two weeks.
