He has updated his chart on Bitwit Ultra (I'm only posting because it's not on youtube but the information is important) to include Day 1 prices for ALL cards. Meaning all the 10 series and vega cards FPD went up, and the 20 series went down.....

6 fps gains in GTA V, the only game I play.

Hard pass.

I wasent hyped but I'm still disappointed

I'm actually just disappointed in AMD at this point. Why are they having so much trouble coming up with a good high end card? When will they finally be competitive again?

 

From Nvidia, I was expecting this.

Vega 56/64 are pretty good high end cards but due to their risen cost, 1070 ti/1080 are a bit better options. On the other hand in the mid-end they are very competitive as rx 570/580 are better choices than 1050ti/1060.

I don't know, Vega 56 was OK I believe trading blows with the 1070, at slightly higher price. But the Vega 64 was always below the 1080 (except for maybe a handful of games that favor AMD), at a higher price, and at more power consumption. Vega 64 was never a good buy sadly. Part of this was that the cards never actually seemed to sell for their $399 and $499 MSRP's. At MSRP, they would have been good value.

 

Then Nvidia released the 1070Ti, beating the Vega 56 at about the same price. It is as if Nvidia wanted to screw over AMD even more, by cornering the market for people looking for a card more expensive than the 1070 but less expensive than the 1080.

 

I really had high hopes for Vega, but at the prices they were sold, they just didn't stack up well against the 10 series from Nvidia.

Unless you have a really expensive FreeSync display, get the 1080 Ti for that price.

Where I work, FreeSync goodies get as low as 129USD and GSync's lowest is 199USD... I've a FreeSync monitor, but yeah just letting you know the pricing.

This is interesting, if you're running Gsync+HDR then new in hardware HDR support found in Turing can give you an additional 12% performance increase over Pascal.

Damn it! I did not want to see this getting mentioned around here,... you know how the haters behave.

They don't see that Turing improved something over Pascal, but that NVidia is trying to "fake" performance, by doing shady stuff to HDR. #HatersGonnaHate.

This has already been happening on German Forums sadly.

 

On a more serious note: Yay! More stuff that Turing improves on! DirectX12 performance is better, HDR Support does not drop frames (as much) anymore, fancy new features. It is like Christmas for us nerds!
