I'm just waiting for the vega release so that they drop the 1070 prices to sub $400 levels!

If they did learn, we will find out that Vega consumer chips uses only 2 stacks of HBM which cost less in both interposer space, power draw, and of course price. This is the main advantage of HBM2, the more flexible stack configuration.If they are actually using HBM2, supply might become an issue. Not to mention, it would be difficult for them to price such products competitively, considering the rather minimal benefit higher VRAM bandwidth seems to offer. I would've hoped, they learned something from the 'Fury' experience.
Probably like Fiji they cannot realistically design it without HBM from a TDP-power demand perspective, the HBM helps efficiency.If they are actually using HBM2, supply might become an issue.

are any of the current amd cards able to run doom at 4k/60? I don't think any can
On something else than Doom.
Can't believe that some folks here would be satisfied with 1080 level performance for AMD's flagship that will be released 8 months (and counting) after the 1080.

I have a Fury X painfully trying to drive a 3440x1440x75 display and i'm stuck with freesync, so i guess i'll take anything, ha ha ha.

I think it depends on price. Everyone is expecting this to come in far cheaper than the 1080. If it can trade blows with a 1080, and sell for $100 cheaper, Nvidia will just release the 1080Ti, then drop the 1080's price to match the new Vega.
If this card is near-parity with the 1080, the only way AMD can really win is to sell it for significantly cheaper, below what Nvidia is willing drop the 1080.
I completely missed any Doom involvement in the Nvidia launch or pre-release teasers.
Even so, at that time Doom didn't have the Vulkan patch, and was a more balanced benchmark.
When run under Vulkan AMD GPU's perform significantly better when compared to Nvidia GPU's than in typical titles on the market, which means it is a misleading title to use to show representative performance.

fair enough. guess that does not bode well for amd imo.
AMD would be in a better position if the new card offered Pascal Titan level performance and at a cheaper price. Nvidia would have no counter other than release a 1080ti which still wouldn't offer TITAN level performance. But if AMD's cards offers 1080 performance, then Nvidia has plenty of options like you just mentioned. If the card was faster than a 1080, then Nvidia's counter wouldn't be as effective.
If AMD could produce something faster than the currently best available card at a lower price, of course they'd be in a better position. It's been a few generations since AMD could compete on the top end though.
I think if the new AMD card beats Titan XP, Nvidia wouldn't bother with a 1080Ti, they'd just drop prices on the Titan XP and maybe make it available for AIB partners until they get Volta done.
I want a $1,200 halo card, but for $400. Lol.
Not going to happen.
Yeah, sometimes I think people on here are a bit unrealistic.

AMD have often been trying budget brand lately, but it hasn't been by choice. You et if they wind up on top, they are going to start charging prices like they are on top.
God knows they need some revenue.

Very odd now that they are showing Vega now and would use NVIDIA for all other demos.....drivers?they are using a titan x with BF1 hmm......lol guess they don't want to give Vega away.
yeah probably drivers
4k in that game is kinda hard on anything less then Titan X right? don't remember not my type of game lol.
