he Vega 56 appears to be the most intriguing card of hte lineup, especially given its performance compared to the GTX 1070.
I'm really looking forward to this card.

Went ahead and ordered a 1080ti ftw3.
frick it, got tired of waiting.
Doubt I'll need freesync with that card anyways @1440p with the buffering and performance shouldn't really dip below 60...

@ 1440 you should be good, @ 2160 you will need a 2nd one.

Ya. thought so.
The 56v is limited to 300w tbp. That's no bueno comming from a fury. The reports of mining at power saving settings being good just sealed it. No point in even trying to get this card even if AMD could make up grounds some on drivers.

Thats a lot of ground.

We're going back the tahiti chip days it looks like. So much potential, such shitty drivers

Not saying they would catch up or anything. Just saying at best case scenario it wouldn't matter. 
Late edit: You forgot the "even if" before it.

Its the same arch basically. Drivers wont give us that 7970 driver boost.
Stop being UH, you know better.

Woo, my 4770k @4ghz bottlenecks this thing at times.
Still not bad considering the thing was only running @ 94-97 % most of the time.
3d mark
The worst offender is No Man's Sky when entering the planet's atmosphere. FPS is 120ish, but gpu usage is only 80ish %. At least it's smooth, doe. R9 was stuttery as frick during that time going anywhere from 38-50 fps. Well not stuttery, but microfreezing.
CPU usage is high during those, doe. Can hit 96% usage. =/
'Bout that time to overclock further and do a fresh install. Physics score dropped roughly 10% since last time.

Not really now. AMD is lacking far behind geometry rendering.
Although, the Vega mining well at low power levels appears to be false. Although they did release a block chain driver recently. Will be interesting to see what people can do with it. Hopefully for us gamers, it doesn't work out that well.

Yeah idk what blue is talking about.
No one is shttting on it but to say this thing has potential, it doesn't. We had this discussion with the launch and rumors of the VEGA FE launch.

Bruno Gulotta, 35, an employee of Tom's Hardware Italy — a brand owned by AnandTech parent company Purch — was on holiday in Barcelona, Spain, strolling along Las Ramblas with his partner and two young children, when he was struck and killed by a van that also took the lives of 13 others and injured more than 100.
When he was hit by the van, Bruno was holding his 5-year-old son Alessandro's hand. His son was yanked away to safety by his mother, who had their 7-month-old daughter, Aria, strapped to her chest when the van struck.

Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
I was actually right the whole time, 1080 performance for a bit cheaper. Ho hum.

I thought the air cooled 64 was $599.
EDIT: Or I guess demand is still fricking up the pricing and availability.

Yeah the demand/availability has driven them up by hundreds.
Only for about 5 minutes at 8am on launch day could you get one for $499. Marked up since.
Like PCGamer said today, it'll get there again, but who knows how long it will take:

Eventually things will sort themselves out and we'll have standalone Vega 64 cards priced at $499, or even lower, but whether that will be in the next week or two, or months in the future, is impossible to say.

Mining has fricked everything up.
