Not bad for a not gaming GPU. 🙂

I see it now people are going to be flocking saying oh its not better then the 1080 ti. The fact is it doesnt matter if its priced to compete. Im waiting to see the rx sales price and benchmarks, may be my next gpu.

So basically wins some, loses some.

The arguement "is not a gaming gpu' is not one.
If they provide gaming mode, then it's meant for gaming.
Plus no to mention that NV Quadro cards with Quadro drivers still perform the same as the same geforce equivalent.
Example, Quadro P6000 is as fast as titan xP
They kinda screwed themselves marketing gaming in it, they should have taken that out.

Well it's stupid for AMD to show benches in computational stuff against the Titan Xp and not Quadro cards and then expect not to compare those to cards in gaming also.

As a RX480 user , il say this , i kinda knew all this would hapend when they stoped to hype VEGA , was 90% shure it will be a fail product , i really hope AMD next time would stop developing stupid product's VEGA was nothing but a money sink , they literaly burned money , why they had to bother with all the HBM2 still make's me mad, in stead they should have just focused to make a bigger refined polaris chip to beat @ least the 1080 but cheaper , but no they got stuborn with all the HBM2 crap , while NVIDIA milks the market whil normal gddr5 , i even lost all hope for NAVI to , i dout GPU division from AMD can do anything @ this point.
We will for shure have the same problem but with gpus that happend with cpu's , nvidia will lead for some year's to come while AMD will try to keep it's head above the wather .

Well if this card's game equivalent aka RX VEGA will be at the price point of gtx 1080 or near it will be a win for AMD. But if it is near 1080Ti's price point they are as good as doomed and closed. Nvidia will dominate more aggressively than before. The gap will be probably larger than last generation battle 980ti vs furyx.

Or better yet, don't release a card with no clear target for what it should be used for.
Then call it game development mode and don't put this on your website:

It's pretty clear why they kept delaying it, and delaying it more.
Not HBM2...
... but the lackluster performance.
I am an ATI (well, AMD) fan, have used all their generations since X850 Pro, all the way through X1950 later a big jump to R4870, then 6950, then 7970GE ... but I stopped after.
Because they simply lost, and continue losing to this day.
Sad, but true.
I was really hoping for a comeback with Vega, but seems that is not going to happen. Competitive price or not, it is a slower and more inefficient GPU than nVidia's offerings from last year.

Optimistic here
Well, I guess I'm the only person that's pretty optimistic at this point. With results being inconsistent and all over the place (clearly driver related), the clock speed not actually reaching 1600 but averaging 1400, not having optimized gaming drivers, running software none of which written to take advantage of any of it's advanced features (alleged features anyway), and no DX12 or Vulkan, yet still manages to be in 1080ti territory here, 1080 there, 1070 over there, I'm looking forward to the gaming variant, optimized drivers, and modern games to take advantage of the architecture.
But most of all, price/performance. I don't have a 1080 now, so if I can flirt with 1080ti at a price point below current 1080 prices, plus get Freesync out of the deal, I'll be good.

Interesting to see Fury X comparison. Performance gain is all over place. It says quite some story.

it does seem gaming mode is to facilitate people testing on the same machine for now. If Rx Vega does come with better drivers I expect Vega FE will have an improved gaming mode.
I'm seeing p5000 at ~$1800 to 2000
where did you see $850?
