Same thing will happen to them as MSI, ASUS, etc. Except gaming prebuilts are far more lucritive than just GFX cards. They use GTX, then they either run the risk of not getting enough carfs or they sign with GPP.

Are HP, DELL, Razor, MSI, Acer, Asus, Lenovo, etc supposed to have entirely different product brands/product lines just so consumers whom are buying laptops/prebuilds can even get an option for an AMD GPU?

As for how I understand the GPP, OEM's that are not AIB's remain the same since they can name their prebuilt's however they want.

Vega is decent when it’s available at msrp.

 

I got Vega 56 for £380 and flashed it to have near Vega 64 performance, I also got a 4K IPS Freesync panel for £350.

 

Nvidia cannot touch that in terms of value if you are after variable refresh and a card at the same time.

Haven't seen (sorry if I missed it), but an update on topic:

 

Damage control. It was blamed on "lone wolf" employee in another news outlet, but they didn't have much else to add.

So now when you just bluntly but accurately describe the state of Radeon you're "throwing shade"?

 

Here I have a joke for you all:

Vega is still pretty meh unless Vulkan or DX12 are your thing
