All this comments. Just wait for the gaming version of this GPU, maybe it will be clocked higher, also it seems there are issues with the drivers, so like any AMD GPU, performance will rise, a lot with future drivers. I should know.

if this fails with its target applications then we have a problem. gaming is something else.
maybe because the other drivers give even worse gaming performance, so they put in a gaming mode to unlock some gaming features and performance.

There is a chance, that it was a problem with the testing

At least AMD could make a better design for this workstation card, it looks like "retro" design , like 10 or more years old style. That said, the performance of this AMD Vega FE with that 300+ Watt power draw is really disappointing 🙁

It performs worst than GTX 1080 and it costs at least double from GTX 1080, wonder who will ever buy it?

This situation is not really a surprise. AMD had Vega chip ready from last year but they missed the opportunity because of HBM2 memory being buggy and not ready for mass production. So the product was delayed and delayed until now when it is not really relevant on the market and the price is over the roof.
I really hope they have received some money back from SK Hynix or whoever makes HBM2 because they were left in the dust for so long.
I would point out also the fact that NVIDIA was wise. It knew that HBM2 was buggy and skipped it for Pascal. And they, as usual, made the right decision.
