Vega Thread

[SickBeast]

An interesting tidbit from here:

http://www.pcgamer.com/amd-takes-radeon-...-gtx-1080/

There's a more concerning aspect in the "costs $300 less" argument, since the FreeSync monitor retails for $800 compared to $1300 for the G-Sync display. That puts the G-Sync display plus GTX 1080 at $1850 (MSRP), compared to $1550 for the FreeSync display plus RX Vega (MSRP), but the real price difference is the $500 delta between the monitors. This suggests AMD is looking at around $700 (give or take) for the RX Vega, which would put it into direct competition with the GTX 1080 Ti. If the demonstration really used a GTX 1080 and not a 1080 Ti, performance would appear to be in Nvidia's favor.

$700USD for GTX 1080 performance. No thanks. I'm not quite sure what AMD is thinking.
