Main point in english.
The consumer model of Radeon RX Vega seems to be a really expensive story. Swedish dealers testify to price tags in class with the GTX 1080 Ti.
Around 9000SEK inkl VAT = 835£
The source say that prices look genuine and final. But that it feels wrong

If those prices are true, I can't see anyone buying them. I know I wouldn't buy one. They are in direct conflict to others saying that Vega is 'fast and cheap like Ryzen'.
lots of shaders big die + HBM2 = £

Vega "leaked" prices are BS. Just placeholders.

While you may be right about Vega being expensive, you, I, and everyone else never actually believed those rumours to be true.
At this stage I'm really hoping for a $500-550 air cooled fully unlocked variant—which is less than what I originally hoped of around $600—and $600 for the fully unlocked water cooled version.
It makes sense to use placeholder prices. Get the sites setup ready for immediate sale, slap in an overrated price to prevent shooting yourself in the foot and let days count down.
When you put the actual price up, the hype of "omg guys its 500sek cheaper than before" it can sometimes sell itself without effort.

My Swedish isn't perfect, but the source is a retailer = The price comes from AMD as i understand it. But setting the price 200£ above the intended price just seem wired
But yes if the price shows 850£ and then when et launches shows 600£ might make it look better

It won't IMO. Just noticed this morning that you can now get a blower 1080 for £449.

Founders £488

Heck, even a full blocked WC card for just over £500

If AMD are thinking of charging £600 for a GPU that uses 100w more, is hot, loud, cheap looking, ugly and slower then they are high. Really, really high.
It will probably throttle too.
IMO? the big Vega needs to be £400 but I just can't see it happening. In that case nobody is going to buy it (because they too would have to be high) and it's just going to be a shelf filler until it dies a slow death.

If the prices are indeed incorrect then I'll be getting the top end watercooled version when it hits but no way am I paying 1080 Ti money for a 1080 class GPU.

We don't know the price of 4GB HBM2 stacks. We know that 8GB HBM2 stacks are reported to cost $160, but we don't know the price of 4GB stacks. They might not be that much more than GDDR5X. I can't find a price for GDDR5X. According to this image I found on reddit—which I can't corroborate right now—the Fury X's 4GB of HBM did not cost much more than the 290X's 4GB of GDDR5.

In a blind test performed with HardOCP, 6/10 were shown to be unable to tell the difference between a 1080Ti/Gysnc system and a Vega/Freesync system at 100Hz 3440x1440p, 1/10 favoured the Nvidia system, and the remaining 3/10 preferred the AMD system stating smoother response time, possibly due to the VA panel on the Freesync monitor.

That doesn't really say much though, They could have limited both the systems to 100FPS.
A rig equipped with a RX-580 and a different equipped with a 1080 Ti can both do 100FPS in Doom no problem at 1440P, The real difference is going to come down to the games with very shiny FX that are taxing and the FPS difference there.
