    Re: QOTW: AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 or Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070?

    I'm pretty much in the same boat.

    £ for £ I'm all in for a V56 but as the pricing has been so out of whack for the 64 there may not be much cost difference between the 56 and a 1080 in the end.

    Unfortunately I'm having to employ that pesky thing called 'patience' (i.e. waiting more than a day or two)

    Actually, when is the 56 actually due to be released?
    Grab that. Get that. Check it out. Bring that here. Grab anything useful. Take anything good.

    Yes I get it. Price could indeed be the nail in the coffin for RX Vega. I really hope not.
    I think towards the end of the month, but would rather put my money on at-least another full month.
    Then maybe around two more months for everything to stabilize and AIB's to become widely available.

    I've still got 2xSapphire RX480's clocked at 1400core & 2100mem and running on a 1440p monitor so I'm going to be patient and wait for the market to sort itself out.

    I know V56 will overpower the GTX1080 eventually (at-least somewhat), but is it worth the wait and money. Not too sure. It's a gamble really.

    The bit of research I've done suggests that without certain effects like AA and other post processing effects V56 can trail the GTX1080ti.
    That speaks to the lesser ROP's on Vega vs the GTX1070/1080/1080ti. That Dirt 4 Bench of hardware unboxed got me interested in investigating further.

    For now patience is key and i'd highly advise against a reference RXvega. I will be waiting :-)

    Yeah, there's no chance of settling until the aftermarkets have been out for a bit and Hynix gets in the fray for HBM2 pricing.

    Think I may just have to boot up the PS4 for a while, unless the green go silly with 1080 prices (which I highly doubt).

    Cheers mate, it seems I keep hearing so many things at the moment that for the life of me I couldn't remember if I'd seen an actual release date anywhere.

    I wouldn't hold my breath for that though. These initial release dates usually doesn't mean so much. I will keep an eye out though.

    Yeah I hear you mate, I'm taking anything regarding Vega with a lorry load of salt at the moment.
