>It’s been exactly one month since AMD debuted the very first member of the RX Vega family of high-end gaming graphics cards, yet not a single custom RX Vega graphics card is available today. Asus was supposed to be the first to market with its triple fan Strix versions of the RX Vega 64 and 56, but we’ve yet to see either become available in any retailer
>Furthermore, Hardware.fr reports that discussions with AMD’s add-in-board partners revealed that none of them, save for Asus, have any custom cards ready to announce.

I just wanted something better than muh GTX560 Fuck it, I'm buying a used 670+

>AMD is delaying AiB cards Really makes you think.
Eli Cooper
Meanwhile, the 1070ti drops by Halloween and the only people left to buy Vega are the diehard fanboys. 3 from Sup Forums and 12 from r/amd
Easton King
>t.
David Miller
kinda ot but who is actually gonna buy the 1070ti? I dont see the market for it. A 1070 3rd party card is 450€~, a 1080 3rd party is 550€. I doubt the 1070ti will outperform a 1080 and I doubt it will cost less than a 1070.
So I guess it will cost around 500€~ or more and will be between 1070 and 1080 performance wise, why not just buy a 1080 in that case. They cost about the same anyway.
I dont understand the need for a 1070ti.
Nathaniel Cox
I don't pick sides.
Landon Allen
Yet you posted a candidate for nvidia's marketing material.
Adrian Turner
I'm a huge AMD fan because I am really happy with their Ryzen 7 CPUs (upgraded from a 3570k), but I can't see myself buying an AMD GPU any time soon. They're impossible to find at any reasonable price. I'm just going to get a 1080 or 1070Ti.
Vega is a massive fuckup.
James Rodriguez
The 1070ti will most likely be dropped in the 1070 price bracket and the 1070 moved down. It's doing to compete with the 56 price wise and likely shit all over it
inb4 muh shaders aren't enabled yet!

Isaac Kelly
TIME TO MINE !
Juan Perez
It's been two months since launch and the boss just left
Bentley Carter
>vega pro >december
what the fuck is this shit? a refresh that fast? lmao, they fucked up rx vega
Brayden Price
>and the 1070 moved down
hahaha, no.
Andrew Morris
Guess they want the drivers to at least be uarch feature complete before they launch the AIB cards. Thank fucking Christ. I'm tired of waiting to find out what this uarch can actually do with all of its core features enabled.
Jordan Thompson
It's been out for a year and a half. You watch
Cooper Evans
REBUPLIC OF GAMURZ!!!!
Tyler Ortiz
It's all about mining craze. The 1070ti, if it really comes out, will have a gddr5x memory just like 1080 and 1080ti, and this memory is dogshit for mining, so the actual price would be equal to msrp, just like 1080s and 1080tis are now.
Angel Cook
Unless the 1070ti is just the 1080 it won't shit over anything. Vega ocs to 1080 performance. Even OC d a 1070 is like 15% off.
Leo Hall
My only regret with Vega was I didn't buy my 1080ti sooner.
Jace Sullivan
Yeah mark's no longer on board after vega 56 was more expensive than he thought. It's 11 from r/amd now.
Leo Flores
one month.
Brandon Murphy
Leather Jacket man is due to speak mid October. He might announce a 1070Ti. AMD are sandbagging both their drivers and AiB partners just in case this happens so they can release both in November to push out the boat.
Luke Brown
HEHHEHEHEHAEAHEAHEAHEAHAHAHHAAHHHAAAAAAAAAAAA
So fucking glad i just got a 1080 g1 and im happy with it
Adrian Morgan
>to push out the boat. I.e. their own norse funeral
Jk, I hope you're right
Xavier Russell
>1070Ti I don't understand where would you fit it in? 1060 -250 1070 -400 1080 -500 I guess they can afford to sell 1070 for 300 easily, it's what it should cost from the start anyway, but due to retarded segmentation it will simply murder all 1060 sales, what's the point? just get 1070 from now on Nvidia sure made a ton of money from these margins, but it's bad strategy to fit in new products in lineup
Xavier Wood
>due to speak mid October probably tesla launch, nothing more
Anthony Young

Ryan Rogers
QwQ kitty no pls
Jack Collins
Worst launch ever Jesus...DOA
Thomas Cooper
Vega is the most useless piece of silicon ever devised by a semiconductor comoany. And that's fucking impressive when you consider just how much shit the chinks push out on ARM, and VIA plugging away at 28nm.
Ethan Hill
B-B-B-BUT THE DRIVERS ARE GOING TO COME SOON™
Parker Williams
Really wanted Vega to replace my aging 7850, but it looks like I'll go for nvidia this time
Hunter Gomez
honestly this looks true I think I'll be switching over to 1080 ti from my fury x in a few months because I want to play 4k at a higher framerate, and it looks like nvidia is the way to go in that regard, at least for now
Cameron Davis

Aiden Walker
Not a fanboy, just rightfully shitting on the Vega disaster
Joshua Russell
The only disaster was launching the reference models on half finished drivers, but as they are selling every one they make, that's not even so bad.
I'm glad they are delaying the AIB versions until the drivers are uarch feature complete. Should make for some very interesting reviews.
Ayden Moore
It's still a disaster.
Jacob Thompson
nope
Camden Russell
No reason to wait for shitty Asus Strix card anyways. A russian tech site reviewed the card and found that the VRM hits 120C. Expect this thing to break 1 day after end of warranty.
Wait for Sapphire, then wait for drivers, then maybe buy.
Chase Thompson
Yes. The launch is bad.
Jaxson Martinez
I want to buy a Vega so I can buy a 3440X1440 100hz monitor for $400 less than a GSync model.
Jose Smith
Even Jensen says mining is here to stay. Vega launch was a success. Just not for MUH GAMING babbies
Kevin Reyes
hardware.fr->october literally what we already knew since the driver will be ready then wccftech->november because fuck logic
Jacob Ramirez
>Sell literally every card you make. >Have deals with Apple to put Vega into their meme computers. >Use the cream of the crop to make Mi25s and make a mint selling them to server farms. >"V-vega is a failure." For how long has Sup Forums been so tech illiterate?
Isaiah Williams
its because they dont care about gayming but they do care about gayming only when amd is failing
Jacob Johnson
1070ti is exactly what I want. I like the vega but the power consumption kills it for me. My fermi heats up my room when I game and I'm done with that life.
Aiden Gray
B-buy my gaymin! Vega is DOA!
Joseph Ward
amd is still in the graphics game? lmoa
David Moore
Ye, they've murdered Quadro. Shame about goyming cards.
Christian Davis
It's probably to counteract the inflated 1070 prices. The 1070Ti could have GDDR5X memory which would allow it to be sold at near MSRP just like the 1080 and 1080Ti. Basically the 1070 would be sacrificed to miners, while the 1070Ti would be explicitly for gamers. I wouldn't be surprised if they're the exact same performance in gaming, just different memory specs.
Ryder Roberts
It's a different die config.
Jackson Russell
Isn't a 1070ti just a 1080? I mean there's need for a card between those two?
Owen Reyes
No, a bit less ALUs (2304 versus 2560 of 1080).
Josiah Garcia
>JUST Intel up my gpu line-up
Andrew Sanchez
Nah, since they have no competition (till October at least).
Colton Green
>vega
Cooper Powell
I might switch from 290x + freesync144hz to Volta + gsync 240hz
Hudson Perry
Volta is a long time to go.
I might consider switching to Freesync if 144 Hz 4K becomes affordable and AMD delivers proper products. I guess that won't be happening before 2020. I don't like the waiting game. I'll buy the next Ti once the FTW cines out, but I know it will be still not powerful enough for maxed 144 Hz 4K. Its sweet spot will be around 90 FPS.
Grayson Sanchez
I want to buy a vega and undervolt it and then adjust the clocks for a 1080 level performance with a 56. But buying one is impossible so i might as well wait for something better
Gabriel King
Good. I own a reference vega and some nvidya cards already. My builds are comfy. Have too much vidya anyway for dumping any more heat inside my case.
Wake me up w/ these faggots AIBs get off their asses and develop a better blower design so its not a sahara desert inside your case heating up your VRMs/Ram/CPU unnecessarily. It's about time they behave like there are other components in your case besides these gargantuan monster cards pushing out more heat than your CPU and dumping it all inside your case. Just stop for a second and look at this thing.. Clocked to shit sucking down hordes of power beyond spec and dumping all of that shit inside your case.
Fuck an AIB. Blowers ftw.. It's what they use in the professional world
Jeremiah Price
Asus "READY" they just slap the same cooler on the card , and don't care of the VRM are properly cooled or not. O yeah Never buy a ASus Card for AMD unless they have a custom board with it so the vrm are cooled but Asus with AMD card have been doing this shit for a few release now.. Using Nvidia Cooler and not making proper contact with the VRM causing shit shit ..
