I hope they dont pimp out as best card for whatever at X price point, while the RX 400/500 have been impressive to me(Ryzen awesome as well IMO though hyped slightly more than should have been though thankfully said hype bore far more fruit than with Bulldozer "8" core BS lol) seeing as I am an adamant non Nvidia user/purchaser for many reasons, I am also not fond of when something is touted as being priced at X MSRP/SEP and yet 99% of time never ends up this way on any but press samples or outright junk cooled designs, hell even the one whatever thing I seen Lisa Su do said herself "first VR 8gb card at under $200 price point"..That grinds my gears (TM)
I am hoping they nail the 1080Ti level, likely will once overclocked (might be they left the best of current GCN design for VEGA) but realisticly, will probably be between 1080 and 1080Ti level, price is very hard to say, would be sick if was priced slightly above 1060 but below 1070 competing with 1080/1080Ti.
Suppose just depends on production costs, what various partners will end up overcharging for as usual..I hope they have fancy whatever in it to ensure will use X power maximum, like the 7000 series, when rated at X TDP, that tended to be the maximum power it used as well (usually only hit when overclocked especially 7800 or below, about that when 7900) unlike RX 400/500 which tend more oft than not to use more then rating which confused/pissed off many users and media alike "Card is rated X TDP so why is it using X power" FFS TDP is not power it is cooling capacity needed to dissipate, guess it is hard to understand this lol.
Cannot wait to see what it brings, likely I will not be buying as $ is not available, am pretty sure my old Phenom II 955 will not be able to drive it like it deserves to be, which means new top to bottom, which means even more $, so its going to take awhile.
Seasoni G 650w coming in today
Fractal Design Define C coming in (almost out of stock everywhere, 4 failed orders)
now comes the ram/motherboard/cpu/cooler/2k monitor and maybe a new SSD "master" if the price is right, so I can keep the Crucial MX that I have as a secondary..really really not like having to go for the Win10 POS route, but, am used to windows, and win7 though <3 it, will be incompatible for "modern" cpu, more so if have to wait till Zen2 next year.
