The question now is will Vega release before 1180.

Ah, they dropped the ball quite hard on the GPU front. It would seem the theory that Nvidia were worried about Vega and released 1080ti yearly to cash their chips will be just a theory. It i starting to look like they new they will be moving forward without real competition in the high brackets and just launched what they had. I hope this is not true but...

If the 500 series is a true thing why someone should buy the RX 580 when he can pick the 480 8GB for less money and make a small overclock to reach the same performance of the new card?
I was expecting a 490 powerful like a GTX 1070, and Vega. Now instead it seems we got this 500 series crap. wtf

AMD's rebranding department is probably the busiest people in the company!

The situation have changed. NVIDIA sucked money from the customers for nearly 3/4 of a year. Now, when Vega will be coming out, NVIDIA lowered the prices and overpriced Pascal became much more suitable for regular gaming users.
I mean, Vega seemed to be very powerful against overpriced Pascal... now, odds are even. And maybe...MAYBE, when Vega is released it wouldn´t be that much competitive against current Pascal as it was against overpriced Pascal.
And another version. NVIDIA is very aware about Vega´s strength, so lowering the prices is just another try to suck dry the customers, and in summer, after Vega release, we will see Pascal Refresh (Ti models of 70,60 or GTX 11x0 or GTX 20x0) Which will be more competitive against Vega.
Future is unclear, but in favor of a regular customer.
Buying a GPU now is a nonsense, same as buying a CPU month ago.

The defense industry will buy a million of them. Your future soldier.

Again?! they do like their re-branding!

They should just drop Vega at this point and just focus all their effort on bringing Navi to market sooner.

Asking from the "why another rebrand?" guys: did you also asked it from NV 1060-1080 rebrands? I just can't understand what's the problem with the release of these GPUs. These were rumoured earlier and it's completely independent of the Vega release, which was expected for a May-June start. NV also launches 1060 with higher memory bandwidth, so this step is nothing to cry for.

They should have upped to clocks to above 1500 and this would be more worthwhile. If Nvidia's GPUs can reach 2000, why on Earth can't AMD get even to 1500?

why is this called a re-brand but the new pascals are called re-freshers ?

Well, if you have an XFX RX480 GTR , then you pretty much have the RX580(if nothing will be changed but gpu clock). Running @1400MHz only eating up 80-110 W . In some bench-s going over 110 W.

WOW........MAN I was soooo interested in waiting to see what AMD was going to offer, but now I feel as if there was a slap in the face toward the consumers.
Any one here looking toward a Vanilla GTX TITAN!!!??? I have four all of which are waterblocked with XSPC blocks and back plates. Stock coolers are included and "can" be placed back on for a small fee ($25)....
$275 a card-$300 if you want a stock cooler on it as opposed to the water block. Either way it all comes together with all of the parts required for both coolers. If someone wants two or more I will included the single slot SLI connectors from XSPC.......one will have to buy the other spaced connectors if needed more/further than one card spacing.
These cards still have 6-7 years on the extended 10 year warranty I have purchased. If the buyer is so inclined and would like to still honor the said warranty the card would have to be sent from "my address" and RMA innitiated from myself.....EVGA made it clear that after selling the cards that warranty would be void..... I do not like that answer at all and would do my best to still honor the warranty if someone wasn't a numbscull and destroy the card in a physical way as that is the only way the card would be disqualified from a warranty service.... Just saying...
PM me please if anyone is interested and if there is a place on here I'd like to know where and how to make sure I am in the correct area with my proposition.

I have an MSI RX-480 GamingX 8g that's been running at 1380/2200 for several months. Power is set to +25%, and fans set to keep the card at 70° or below. After dozens of hours of gaming, I've had no problems. So why is the 580 going to be "better"? I wish AMD would stop doing this. It damages their credibility. Calling this a refresh, and renaming the card the RX-482 wouldn't be so bad, but giving it a whole new series number is nonsense - it borders on false advertising.
