AMD Vega Pricing Predictions?

[Veninblazer]

As you likely know, AMD Vega will be out in the next few months most likely. How much do you think the card shown at CES will cost? As much as I'd love for them to compete with the 1080 and 1080 Ti for 1070 prices, I just don't think they'll be able to undercut that much, they didn't do it in the past by that margin. A 390X was cheaper than a 980, but not by too ridiculous of a margin, the normal 390 was so close to 970 prices, and the 380 seemed to be pricier than the 960. The 480 is currently undercutting the 1060 by about $30, the 470 was supposed to be something in between budget and midrange and (along with the other RX cards) got a price drop when Nvidia released their 1050 and 1050 Ti in the budget end. Considering they also had to compete with the 980 Ti, they came out with the Fury and Fury X which didn't undercut the 980 Ti by that much, although nowadays you can find a Fury for under $300 which is a great deal for that level of performance. I personally think that Vega will be pretty expensive, likely in the 500-600 range. What say you?

they probably will sit about 100 bucks below it and have about 10% less performance. that is my prediction anyways. something similar to zen.

$329 for the 1070 equiv and $599 for the 1080 equiv. I think the 1080Ti pricing might have to make AMD rethink.

[Master Disaster]

I reckon £299 for the lower end model and £499 for the high end one.

Yeah. Although Ryzen 7 has undercutted the 6900K by a pretty extreme margin and in heavy multithreading can actually beat it out, game performance has been somewhat lacking in comparison to even the 6900K. I just am not convinced they'll be able to undercut that much with Vega. They couldn't with the Fury X, so why Vega? lol

Maybe, although if we take into consideration that we already saw a win vs the 1080 with unoptimized drivers and a likely underclock, I think they'll be eyeing 1080Ti or even Volta performance. Never mind driver maturity which is what brought the 480 to beat the 1060 more often.

because their gpu performance this year was pretty good. they had some well rounded mid tier gpu's. and they said they would focus more on the lower end of the market i thought, going slightly under nvidia with a lower price would definitely catch some of nvidias wind from their sails even in the high end. but i dunno its just speculation anyways. they could destroy the 1080ti for a 1070 price for all we know, very unlikely though.

Yeah I'm just not convinced they will undercut that much. It's more believable that they'll match the 1080 Ti for about 1080 prices.

[Enderman]

Between 0 and $10000.

actiually ~$230 new now, they are by far the best value card out there if you know where to look  

 

im going to say just above the price of the 1070 though for slightly above 1080 preformance

[Vode]

If it's equal or slightly faster to a GTX 1080 -> $449

 

If it's actually much faster than the GTX 1080 approaching the Titan X -> $549

 

It'll probably be the latter but the Titan X and 1080 TI will still be 15% faster most likely.

I'm thinking very similar.  It will come out at 1080 performance (on average) and then improve closer to the ti with driver and game optimization.  I'll never call on price though because my personal experience with prices in Australia is too hap hazard and never predictable.

I don't really see them going for the undercut strategy either. From what we've seen with them likely using an AiO for the reference product and their use of HBM2 I would say they're just opting for a faster card. In that case I would say:

$699 RX Vega XT

$599 RX Vega Pro

$449 RX Vega 11 XT

$349 RX Vega 11 Pro

I'm not even going to begin to guess how much each memory configuration costs though.

Edit - didn't realise this was such an old thread.

Neither did I,  It came up in the recommendations on the side and took my interest.
