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.

Just like why the Tonga XT never showed, and 380X was not brought in until late. AMD is working to supply the corporate custom clients first, it provides for a known ROI.
then why is 1070Ti reference faster than 1080 reference ? And 1070Ti 30% faster than 1070 can't be right. Both 1070 and 1080 results are old.
You DO recycle results, I knew your results were off cause the moajorty of other reviews showed half the gap between 1080 an V64 then you reported.
GTX 1070 Ti: 388.13 WHQL
GTX 1070, 1080, 1080 Ti: 388.00 WHQL
All RX Vega: 17.10.1 Beta
NVIDIA other cards: 384.76 WHQL
AMD other cards: Catalyst 17.6.2 Beta
I retested 1070, 1080, 1080 Ti and both Vegas before the review
I can understand W1zzard having to draw a line/pick a version at some point given the complexity of testing and the frequency of driver updates at the moment.
I suppose another option would be to have a "live benchmark" tab on the main page that "someone" continuously updates as many cards as possible with the newest drivers as time goes by?
That might actually be a cool feature ... "what cards are winning in your favourite game this week?" could be a thing. ;)

If unable to spot the differences now, you can go look up the reference design for comparison. :)
