settle down beavis

Still a rumor at this point, although it would make sense given how hot and expensive to produce the card is.

As a gaming card it still makes no sense at £599. Even with a few at £560 on deals, it's far too much for a top tier GPU that isn't even at the top. As an industry card it's obviously awesome for the money.

Vega56 should still be the best gaming GPU deal in the UK at the moment, but not sure how long they are going to available for. I've seen some for £225 (and even less through trade suppliers) which make them amazing value compared to ... everything else!

Fake, apparently.

The Radeon VII is a fairly useless GPU unless you need to do compute, in which case it's a bargain.

There's no truly decent GPU at the moment. The Nvidia cards are fast, but expensive, and with poor open source support.

The AMD cards have had a rocky time in terms of driver support, and *still* don't reliably reset when used with PCI passthrough.

I eventually took the plunge for a new Vega 56 for £200 (bargain!) after accidentally breaking my 780Ti. Open source support is quite good, which isn't yet the case with the RX series.

This is the wrongest thing I've read all day.

my Radeon VII seems to be playing games just fine :p
