But the 1080 has already been thwre

Agreed AND it's a special deal and will not stay at £450.

Pretty much lacking confidence in selling any at its retail price.

ocuk - I had a search setup for ALL AMD cards between £400 and £800 and they appeared there first even though hidden elsewhere.

Thanks for the tip just got mine

Then keep crying and buy a GTX1080?? Its no point whining about it - some of you were whining about power consumption and pricing,and when you got overexcited at the negative hype train,now its not as bad(and its not brilliant either) in those two metrics,you keep going on and on.

Seriously for your own sanity go and find a cheap GTX1070 and be done with it!!

The 56 doesn't look bad, but 64 looks meh.

and bought x2 for crossfire lmfao

 

[Broken Hope]

Saphire AIO ordered = £639 inc wolfenstein + prey

Got to be quite special to buy that when you can buy a 1080Ti for like £40 more..

Or in the case of the Gigabyte Black edition on here, it's actually cheaper.

 

[ubersonic]

Not bad pricing, Vega 64 £450.

Just ordered one

 

[Erik13]

The best thing Amd could do about this card was not to launch it lol

 

[HeX]

£450 is a decent price, but I'll never buy a stock blower card.

You putting it under water....

 

[Zeed]

£450 is decent but I will wait for custom cooled cards.

You know You can find aib 1080 for that right??

nope, i bought it as I've already a full loop...will slap an EK full cover on it and get it to 1700mhz

 

[RSR]

Impressive pricing for the performance.

Nice one Look forward to your feedback also.

 

[straxusii]

I'd be very concerned about the noise levels on these, much louder than the 1080fe which is already unacceptably loud

Frankly I don't care. As I said previously several times - hell could freeze over before I give NV any more of my money - like Yodel/HDN, Amazon and anything the Murdoch's touch they are on my banned list.

Checkout time was 14:00:00 - though only just got the email at 14:10

 

[Chrisc]

the one for £450 seems pretty decent. Have they said when the 56 will be released?

Maybe but I haven't got Prey or Wolfenstien 2 so I'm willing to pay 640 to match it with my Freesync monitor, I'm trying to decide whether to buy a 750 watt EVGA G3 PSU or put my 850 watt TX850 back in my rig now as my newish 650 watt G2 won't cut it.

I suppose I'd better go and watch the reviews now.

Pleasantly surprised by the price, although it does say "18% off" so expect it to rise significantly shortly. As a side note, aren't there laws about stating things are discounted or having a "was" price when they haven't actually been sold at higher prices for more than a certain amount of time?

So basically the reference RX Vega 64 trades blows with reference GTX 1080 at the same price (currently anyway), yet it uses a lot more power and is a year late. :/

Unless some cracking third party cards appear I doubt I'll be getting one.
