AMD drops price on Radeon RX Vega 56 to Battle GeForce GTX 1660 Ti

AMD drops price on Radeon RX Vega 56 to Battle GeForce GTX 1660 Ti

As the title says, AMD is lowering the price on their Radeon RX Vega 56 to Battle GeForce GTX 1660 Ti. Starting today you'll see prices in the £249 / 285 EUR ranges for that still pretty dandy graphics card. You get three games as well.

These discounts could be regional, so I am not certain where on the globe it will take proper effect. Here's a press release: 

Gamers looking for the best performance in today’s most popular AAA titles, from Apex Legends to Tom Clancy's The Division 2, need look no further than theAMD Radeon RX Vega 56 graphics card. Offering high-end performance and incredible features with an attractive price tag, the GPU is now available from £249 on eBuyer and OCUK.

Today’s top titles require increasing amounts of memory to deliver the performance, hyper-realistic settings and life-like characters gamers demand. With 8GB of HBM2 memory, the RX Vega 56 is purpose-built to power the most demanding titles. Harnessing the advanced AMD Vega GPU architecture, the RX Vega 56 also features:

  • Rapid Packed Math doubles the rate of compute to allow for faster physics and compute calculations on RX Vega GPUs.
  • Shader Intrinsics allow direct game-to-hardware access on RX Vega cards to extract more performance from the GPU.
  • Radeon FreeSync display technology brings an end to choppy gameplay and broken frames with fluid, artifact-free performance at virtually any framerate, while FreeSync 2 HDR ensures low-latency, high-brightness pixels and a wide color gamut to High Dynamic Range (HDR) content for PC displays. 

Further sweetening the deal, with AMD’s Raise the Game Fully Loaded bundle,

Gamers who purchase a Radeon RX Vega 56 or eligible Radeon RX Vega 56 powered PC will receive complimentary PC versions of Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry 5 and Tom Clancy's The Division 2, three of 2019’s most anticipated titles.

Turing has been released like 5 months before R VII.
When you're releasing 5 months later, reaching almost the same perf. as the competition is nowhere nearly as good as having that same product 5 months earlier. That's almost half a year for NV - completely unopposed. Of course that's a win terms of time.
R7 is not a real product. it's a leftover Pro card, just to have something for CES.
the availability is non-existent, you can't find them anymore.
R7 is the same architecture as Vega, just like the 580 is a 12nm RX 480 refresh.....
Refresh is not a new product.

Performance = sales.
Look at ryzen, same horrible PR team, the product is just extremely competitive.
AMD doesn't have a strong product to compete in the GPU market.....

Name 1 product that is competitive with Nvidia? and please don't say Vega.

Polaris for one, and why not Vega? Vega did what it needed to to, perform against the 1070 and 1080 which it did.
