So... August then. Might as well wait for Volta. AMD's motto is sadly #justwait.

I'm still excited for price drops I'm desperately in need of a 4K capable card at a reasonable price 1080ti is 1000$ here where I live.

I feel like we've been hearing news about Vega since 2014. I've pretty much given up all hope on competitive GPU cycles.

Problem is our dollar value went down the crapper relative to the USD which 99% of our goods have their values partially based on, meanwhile wages remained stagnant. Even now that the dollar recovered a bit it's at 74 cents.

The RX Vega Nova will be the Big Vega that will retail at $599 and rival the GTX 1080 Ti.

We shall see about that. 599 is quite a competitive price though. So again, as always, it comes down to 2 things: REAL WORLD BENCHMARKS and availability...

This article really makes it hard to figure out what they actually said and what is speculation on Hilberts side. Did they even list those models at all? Because right above it says rumor again. It feels like they didn't say squat about Vega, other then teasing again. They must really have problems getting it ready.

I thought they said earlier the consumer Vega will follow soon after the pro model? There was the claim it will be two month later. They really do need to start shipping the thing to consumers at least the end of July if they don't want that wild claim to be the truth.

OK, I'll wait a little longer then, 599 is quite competitive comparing with nvidia prices! Damn Lisa....kick some(thing) and get this baby in big numbers a.s.a.p.:wanker:.

In my country you can buy a 1080 ti for 726e ( custom not founder ) , 599 usd ( with VAT ) = 720e , and price will drop for the 1080 ti , is not really a good price i think , and if vega is behind the TI in game ... Waiting for reviews , and 1100 serie is coming

600$ is good if it's relative to performance and if it beats the competitors 650$ card then I call that a win.

Agreed, the article is a little difficult to follow.

Everything here will be in the price/performance ratio. With these compute numbers and the arrival of Scorpio this year, this will most likely be a better long-term investment than Pascal.

Of the people who complain about the "lack of competition", barely 10% of them will be buying $600-$700 GPUs, if that many...;) I'm far more interested on the GPU side of the fence to see what AMD does with the $200-$300 market segment--it's for certain that both nVidia and AMD sell a boatload more GPUs in the $200-$300 range than in their $600-$700 ranges--even combined...;) I'll go 4K when 4k 60-100fps GPUs hit the $200-$300 range, and when quality 4K monitors sell for ~$300, + or - $50. ATM, my RX-480 8GB does everything I want at 2560x1440--couldn't be more pleased with the price-performance ratio. And, If I should want (but probably won't) to go X-Fire, I can--which you can't do at all with the so-called nVidia product supposedly on a par with the RX-480. Last time I checked you couldn't even go to 8GBs ram on the nVidia product. Parity? Not even close, imo...;)

You don't need 8GB for this resolution , nor SLI/CFX, before you run in performance issues you better of sell that card and replace with new generation 😀

What happened to the $300-500 range? As far as I know, the 970 was a huge bestseller for Nvidia. The 1070 has also been selling well enough, I believe. You have to remember that Nvidia needs to sell two or three cheaper GPUs to make as much money as by selling one a bit more expensive one. Considering the genuinely expensive and super expensive cards, Nvidia will need to sell a whole lot of cheap chips to get the same money. It's not wasted business. Few manufacturers also want the image of being the cheap brand that people have to get when they haven't got a choice. One that they would drop immediately if they manage to get more money.

Well even a 1070 379$ by far outsells RX480/470. Around that price point seems pretty popular.

I'm not gonna lie, Big Vega is kind of a cool name.

It's not good to be over a year behind your competition; at this point there's not much else to say. 🙁 I hope they have a decisive victory in each of those price segments since Nvidia won't be that far behind with their next iteration/generation.
