This constantly baffles me, if anyone has a sensible reason i'd love to hear it. Surely the additional cost for a better cooler doesn't add an extortionate amount to the cards (particularly to the large scale manufacturer ) , otherwise AIB's wouldn't be able to make them either at a reasonable price ?

You've answered your own question. They generally don't include better coolers on reference models (Fury X was a rarity) because they don't want to **** off their AIBs.

It's mostly the fact that they have to use blowers to ensure the reference cooler can fit in 100% of cases/enclosures. They started using double slot blowers some time ago but theres a limit to what they can do, the only option for improvement would be to go to triple slot like the HIS Turbo blowers but that would mess with multi card spacing.

Guys a heads up, try to keep it to within OcUK forum ONLY!

As you all know or should know VEGA 56 launches Monday at 14:00, we shall be doing a STAND ALONE PACK at a special, supported price again, there shall be a RED Pack at normal price, the good news is AMD have authorised us to sell thousands at this supported price, the hope the cards remains on sale for longer than an hour and though I won't confirm the exact price, it shall be under £400 ! Though we have some stock now, the bulk of stock arrives next week, Bank holiday weekend is playing havoc with shipments, so the bigger volume will arrive following week, so if the products show pre-order, just get your order in, do not wait for them to show in stock otherwise you risk missing out on the reduced price.

Also AMD have extended our supported price on VEGA 64 and they want us to go live at the same time, unfortunately we can only sell an additional 300 units, so we expect them to really not last long, the price will be £469-479 and we expect them to be gone within the hour. You will see to simplify matter these products are now called "STAND ALONE" and games are removed. New identical products have being setup, but are called Black Pack and have the games. *HOWEVER* due to the limited quantity this pricing shall go live the following day Tuesday 29th August at 13:45 so I can monitor the run-rate and remove product from sale when the allocated 300 units is sold out (I DO NOT WORK BANK HOLIDAYS & SHALL BE IN SCOTLAND). This date/time won't be moved, so don't even ask. If you cannot make yourself available at 13:45 Tuesday 29th to spend 5 minutes ordering, thats your issue, not ours, take a poo break, coffee break or even the day off.

I am giving you a heads up, this is only posted here on the forum and it gives you first chance to jump on the site and get an order in for VEGA 56 on August 28th at 14:00 at sub £400 or a VEGA 64 at £469-£479 on August 29th at 13:45.

This shall ONLY be posted in this thread!

Do we know which brands this will be today and especially if the warranty stickers cover up the cooler removal for a water block?
 
Buy the card with 16gb at that point, can Frontier at this point use the Rx drivers so has same performance or is that not what game mode was supposed to be
