I am but I'm not planning any upgrades soon, maybe in the first 1/2 of 18.
I have a gtx 1080. So, no. I'm not buying a Vega. It's a half year to late.
not until they knock £50 of it at least ..
which wont be long NVidia will be lowering there prices on the 1070/1080 ..
What does it matter now if men believe or no?

Maybe if the prices are reasonable. My Rx 480 is bottlenecking my Ryzen 1700x but Vega seems expensive and late to the party.
Am using a R9 290 currently, which seems to run everything i play at 1080p just fine. so no immidiate need for an upgrade.
That said, i am planning to make a secondary rig at some time, and the Ryzen 1600 X looks really neat. Currently Vega does seem like a nice match with that.
Since my R9 390 died recently and I got my money back, and I really want to make use of FreeSync, I'm definitely buying it, unless it turns out to be totally worthless, in which case I'll consider an RX 580 as a stopgap. Or maybe I'll just get a GTX 1080 and finally give up on Radeons, though I've been using them for like 7 or 8 years straight.
Would like to sell my 1080 and get a Vega 64 based card but I'd want Vega to be beating the 1080 consistently otherwise it's not really worth the hassle for me. I do want a new freesync monitor though..
I'm giving my son my Fury Pro card so I'm definitely in the market for Vega 64 as I already have a 144hz freesync monitor. However, I'm not going to pay gouged mining price and if it's not available by mid Sept I'm buying a 1080ti.
I am waiting for my GTX670 worth replacement for 4k gaming. Unfortunetly for vega i dont have freesync so it will be totally based on performance per $.
As for now i dont mind the power consumption, but i need card on 1080ti performance lvl.
Not personally,
I am not in the market for an upgrade and my pair of Maxwell Titan X's in SLI are still performing fantastically for all my needs.
If I was going to be upgrading soon, then I certainly would be considering AMD Vega.
There's so much advertising and other junk in PC gaming these days I tend to wait until complete editions are released on gog or similar which means there's not a lot of point in my buying a high end card.
Probably would if it was released in an even vaguely timely manner - especially with the 1800X discount - but as it stands? Even if it splits the 1080 and 1080 Ti it is too close to Volta's release.
No, I got a second hand R9 390 in February for not very much money (before the mining craze hit). That will be fine for a while longer.

No, everything I need from a graphics card can be met by a basic integrated graphics system.

GTX 1070 is good enough for me, the reason to swap would be for Freesync however I'm feeling like upgrading to a 144hz/1440p/21:9 monitor when they release and even if it costs me £900 I'll do it with G-Sync. I really want AMD to release something and get competitive in the GPU scene but they seem to busy with CPU' atm.
