Gigabyte WILL release Custom Radeon RX Vega 64 Cards

Yesterday news broke the web coming from Tom's Hardware that Gigabyte would not be releasing custom RX Vega cards. That information contradicts with what we have been hearing from Gigabyte. In fact the past few weeks I have been talking with several board partners on the AIB cards.

Fact is that Vega 56 and 64 custom cards are delayed due to reasons we believe to be GPU availability. As it looks right now half October, but more likely at the end of October you will start seeing custom Vega cards. Now back to Gigabyte. Tom's Hardware Germany reported that Gigabyte would not be releasing any custom cards for both Vega 56 and 64 with maybe just a G1 version for the Vega 56.

According to sources within Gigabyte the cards will be released in week 42 or 42 (store availability), which again confirms my earlier assumption of 'later' in October. Here is what we have confirmed, Gigabyte is planning at least 4 custom cards for just Radeon RX VEGA alone, one of them we heard is water-cooled.

Not sure where you are located but here in the U.S the 1070 are between $400 and $450. The 1070 Tis are around $500 bucks and the 1080s are around $550.

The new 1070Ti ranges between 5200 SEK to 5700 SEK it seems.

ESCENDING

Around 620 to 670 USD.
(EDIT: Ah but that store only has two custom EVGA models in so they would be higher priced.)

A 1080 Ti sits at between 8000 to 9000 SEK, 9K versions tend to be water cooled but not all are.

That's around 950 USD to 1000 USD.

1080 models seems to be around 6000 to 7000 SEK so 710 to 830 USD from a quick comparison aided by Google again there's a lot of custom models and the prices can vary a bit as a result.

1070 seems to be around the 5000 SEK mark so around 600 USD then.

In comparison to the other countries in Europe Sweden tends to range on the more expensive side (Finland seem to be having it worse though.) and compared to the US well the entire Europe is probably more expensive than the US MSRP prices for hardware.

The Vega 64 and 56 initial launch was something special though, stores setting whatever prices they could get away with almost. Sold out too so there were a couple of stores having prices up to nearly 10.000 SEK because of limited stock and the GPU's being very highly sought after which well yeah higher than average prices isn't anything new, that sort of pricing though is not something I have seen before however.

For a quick Vega 56 comparison using the Sapphire model the Pricerunner and PrisJakt websites can give a little overview of how it varies at the moment.

So from 4750 SEK which going by price conversion comes out at 565 USD (US MSRP for these being some 400$ I think it was.) and then up to 5950 SEK or just above 700 USD.

For the 64 (air) model from Sapphire.
https://www.prisjakt.nu/produkt.php?p=4422253

There's one store selling for 5700 SEK and then most others range around 6000 to 6200 SEK with one store going for a full 7000 SEK.

So that's 680 USD to 740 USD and for that last one 830 USD.

EDIT: And for that last product you can see a out of store pricing right at the bottom for 9500 SEK.

I'm looking forward to seeing how a nice AIB cooler does on Vega 64, and especially on Vega 56.
