[WYP]

Is this really all that Vega has to offer?



Read more on these leaked benchmark results for AMD's Radeon RX Vega.

I would say it is what is expected.... a bit more than a 1080. If rumors are true and it will be 300€ cheaper than a 1080 then its a good card. As it would interest potential 1070 buyers.

All about the price.

Too little too late IMHO

Exactly this. Most people don't need 1080/Ti performance, and while having it is nice it's actually still a good thing for AMD to provide competition in a bigger sector.

As I'm only looking for the power of a GTX 1070 for my next build then RX Vega will certainly be an option if the price is right. No need to hate on a product because it's not the best thing on the market; look at what it offers for the price and then judge.

Even if you want a GTX 1080 Ti or equivalent there's no point in trashing RX Vega; it is what it is and will offer what it offers. Just buy a GTX 1080 Ti and be happy. No point in being brand loyal if they don't have the product you want but a competitor does.

Compared to what? The 1080 spans from 680-800€ and if the rumor says 500€ there is a huge chance it's mis translation and it's 500$ = 1080

Hmm my disappointment with it is that again AMD has nothing to offer in the enthusiast segment, where it would be so nice to have some solid competition since there's only (and sadly) two chip makers.

But the 1070 is 150watt TDP and the rumor says 300watt TDP for the Vega = if on a budget this can be a huge factor depending on power cost. It's high in Denmark.

I agree with being disappointed. I like AMD and want them to succeed to push competition but RX Vega not matching a GTX 1080 Ti is a disappointment.

I just don't understand how some people seem to think it's a trash card or "too little too late". Are GTX 1070's bad cards now? Would you be an idiot to buy one? Or is the simple fact that it was first to offer that price/performance a reason to ignore the equivalent competition?

It's people with that mindset that frustrate me. From what I can tell GTX 1070's are still hugely popular so I can't see how AMD offering competition there is a BAD thing. Disappointing it isn't better? Yes, but a BAD product? No.

Which is a perfectly valid argument and if that makes the option of the GTX 1070 the better prospect in that situation then buy the GTX 1070. I only said it would be an option; something to consider when planning a build. Not necessarily the 100% go-to for all builds in that tier and not a product to completely ignore and not even look at the specs for either..

It's what I was expecting, Around 1070/1080 performance, Now the price will be the real interesting part.
