VEGA IS FINALLY HERE, ITS IN STOCK ALONG WITH SOME EPIC BUNDLES & FREESYNC DEALS!!

I don't understand AMD's new pricing, the 56 is a hotter noisier higher power consumption GTX 1070 for £50 more, the 64 air is the same vs the GTX 1080 also £50 more....

why would you?
 
Any reason why the Sapphire AIO has gone up to £698.99? I would have pre-ordered one for the initial £639.99 but for £698.99 no way.

Another place has pre-order set at £610.90 for the MSI AIO but no games unfortunately. I think I will just have to wait and see how prices are when it's back in stock.
 
I almost feel like AMD should just sell at a price to break even and take back some market share.

Imagine how many they would sell if they 64 was at £400.

Still with the ebay and paypal fees you would need to sell it for such a high price to net any decent profit. Who ever buys it to make a profit off on ebay should think otherwise.

That's the point I am making, people who do this price it very high to make a profit. If it sells or not is very much a gamble, hence it's probably not worth the risk especially on a auction/bidding sale.

That doesn't look good, seems to be a height difference of the hbm vs the gpu, which would mean its not really contacting the cooler, more likely just the paste.

Still in stock, and have been all day, so looks like the higher pricings having an affect, and the miners aren't interested either.

Honestly looks like the aio versions are being snapped up quicker, elsewhere has had blower versions in stock since yesterday and they're still there, they had the msi aio version in earlier today and it only lasted a short time.

No competitor hinting! - Thanks, Armageus

It does well in Doom. I think with driver improvements it might reach 1080Ti in that game. Would be interesting to see how the AIO Vega does, as the one in these videos the clocks are all over the place.

It is going to be interesting to see if it can be close to a 1080Ti with games that are Vulkan and make use of Rapid Packed Math.
 
BF1 performance at 4k is pretty meh, would have thought it would be able to maintain 60 in that game but its in the 40's in some instances.
