Might be a European thing? unsure personally, 1070's are cheap here going for as low as £328 when 1080's as low as £489, comparing that to the Vega 64 cards which are going for £549+ it's hard to see why anyone would pick Vega.. Sadly no Vega 56 pricing here yet, so cannot do a comparison. But Liquid64 is going for £700 and 1080ti's are going for as low as £669 :/
Very messed up and confusing pricing over here i guess, either they screwed up pricing of its due to mining and companies still trying to make a buck on that
Crypto is definitely inflating all the pricing here in the US at least. There were 1070's going for $390 in May that are selling for $470 now. I don't know why that wouldn't effect UK pricing though - maybe just less miners in the region. No idea.

this is a step to the right direction for AMD. finally a product that can exchange blow with the green camp on the mid to high-end although the 1080ti is still the king of the uber high-end.
i can only see this number improve over time with driver optimization down the line, thumbs up to AMD =)

Will be very interesting to see how overclocking the hbm will effect the performance on the vega 56

Thanks HH, great review as always. So the 56 is the only attractive part in the Vega lineup, despite its higher power draw vs the 1070. I think Nvidia will not sit idly by or give AMD any breathing room. Would expect a statement from them in next few days or weeks about a Volta release, simply to take the wind out of vega sales. If they push volta forward and give a firm release date, that could do it.
