Custom-design Radeon RX Vega Cards by Mid-October
Still reeling under supply issues and overpricing, AMD's Radeon RX Vega line of graphics cards may finally be available in custom-design products from the company's AIB (add-in board) partners by mid-October, according to a Hardware.fr report. ASUS was the first to announce custom-design RX Vega 64 and RX Vega 56 graphics cards under its ROG Strix series, back in August. The cards were, however, nowhere to be found in the markets.
AIB partners will begin announcing their custom-design RX Vega series products in the coming weeks, with retail availability slated for mid-October. Radeon RX Vega 64 is currently available in three AMD-reference design SKUs, the standard reference-design, the premium "silver" air-cooled reference-design, which features a brushed aluminium cooler shroud and LED ornaments; and a more premium AIO liquid-cooled variant with higher clocks. The RX Vega 56 is available in vanilla standard reference-design.

Which implies a lack of optimisation to me. Will there be a DX12/Vulkan update to this game?
Maybe it will also be targeted in the next driver release.
Unless it was something you were going to spend 100s of hours in (Skyrim, Star Citizen or other open world game or some online thing) I'd not be buying a card based on the performance in one title.
cool!
With that price difference, there shouldn't be a "worst outcome" for any title.
I mean, can you show me 1 title where the GTX 1080 Ti gets beaten by a GTX 1070?
2. Actually the cheapest Vega64 costs £470, the cheapest 1070 costs £380. That's a £90 difference (VAT inc.), which is $122 with VAT.
AMD still cant get their own stock in stock for more then 5 minutes, what hope do AIBs have? And at the current price, vega 64 is a trainwreck, and 56 is undesirable next to the 1070. And AMD's stupid combos suck up what little stock there is.
AMD doesnt seem to realize you need to provide the product for people to buy it. Not allowing the GPUs to be sold outside of combos is more boneheaded then anything nvidia has done in the last few years.You still digging for excuses on vega 64 being a junk GPU? Cool.
Everybody known vega 64 is a slower, much hungrier 1080 competitor. It fails to keep up in many games, and most people know that most games are not DX12! Even in DX12 games VEGA barely manages to keep up! Sooner or later, you have to admit that vega was a year late, a frame short, and too hungry to truly compete, especially at the ridiculous prices AMD is selling them at.
Out of the four local Microcenters in my area, there's about 30+ V56 and about 10+ V64 in stock. No one is buying them because of pricing. Even Bestbuy.com/Amazon and Newegg is selling V56.
If you can get the temps down (or stick it under water like I did) you can turn the voltage down and save a lot of power. The HBM2 starts loosening timings at like 60 C. Keep it under that and it helps bump up the FPS
It's a golden opportunity for the 3rd parties to solve the temp issues, make it quieter, faster, etc. There's no need to OC the core on these either
They still aren't worth $700+ though
TPU tests BF1 and DeusEx in DX12 only, while their DOOM results are OLD, Pascal cards got a fair bump in doom performance some time ago already. TPU shows V64 23% faster than 1080 at 4K, the difference is only 10%.

And that horrendous price....
PC2 is just embarrassing
To the threadcrappers & trolls, this is good news because there is steam behind them now, better than any overhyped/priced Founders Edition card. Just remember without competition consumers suffer.
4990 NOK that is with 25% VAT, remove the VAT and the price is 512 USD, with standard 5 year "return right" (effectively a 5 year warranty covered by the shop and importer)
