This is quite disappointing to say the least. I was expecting it to at least be in between 1080 and the ti version (well closer to or on par with ti) but it is basically on par with 1080. Looking at the fact that they are 1 year late, i do hope it is as good for crypto-currency mining as the rumour said. We (consumers) need competition to stop the prices going thru the roof as nvidia at the moment can put their high end gpus for whatever price they want as there is no competitors. I love Ryzen cpus and i think they deserve a praise, something i can't say about vega. Sad...

Well if AMD had money like nvidia+intel have i am sure they would do better soo stop whinning it's ok only they need to tweak prices like for example:
Vega 56=300$
Vega64=400$
And then they would sell like cookies.
No they wouldn't because the market is already saturated by Nvidia. They'd sell more but it probably wouldn't offset the margin loss on cards that already have way lower margins then what Nvidia is selling.

Thought, hey this is better than expected... trades blows with the 1080... wonder what the cost is... oh its £100 more? what! why would anyone spend that much more for the same performance... and a hotter and more power hungry card (almost as much as 1080sli), is HBM2 that expensive for them ?
These cards should be cheaper, Liquid cooled one is going for around 650-700 pounds here, the same price as a 1080ti... Very confusing why they would price them so high... only reason i can see them doing this is because of the cyptocurrency??
Also somehow 499USD = £599
UK always getting screwed with pricing

It's striking that AMD fails at power efficiency over and over...will they ever learn?

nVidia won big time, at best 56 and 64 outpace 1070 and match 1080, too late with zero added value.
NVIDIA was clearly so far ahead, that even one year later the GTX 1080 reigns supreme, not talking about 1080TI, nvidia will lower prices of 1070, oced 1070 will offer even better value outside of mining.
But at least AMD tried, that still could mean something.
