AMD just can't seem to step foot in the highend $600+ market anymore until they get some major financial backing in R&D

be interesting to see how much bucks the RX 490 will retail for, previous HBM cards were rather expensive and there is no reason to believe that this one will be cheap if the specs are true

I wouldn't consider believing from sources such as videocardz.com. They were questioning why the GTX1080TI would have a 384 bus size yet they have a chart of their own, available on their website, that shows why  a video card like a GTX 1080TI would need such a bus size. They can't even provide a decent article without contradicting their own information.

confirmed on 3dcenter.org 
professional Vega maybe dec/jan - similar to GP100 entrance
 
may 2017 is vega 10 - vega 20 by dec of 2017
 
so by the time you release vega  
Volta professional chip will have been outed by Nvidia at GTC
and you would have consumer volta about 6 months from that with 2.5X the power of Pascal which vega will barely beat
 
AMD always behind the 8-ball

May 2017?  Good lord, that's almost a full year after the launch of the GTX 1080, which is what Vega will aim to compete with.  How sad.  This also gives Nvidia less of a reason to blow our minds with Volta, since AMD will just have started competing with Pascal.  I expect Nvidia to take even more market share.  The RX 480 was a monumental disaster, if you look at it from the perspective of taking back market share.  AMD lost market share the same quarter the RX 480 was released.  The RX 480's $200 price point was a sign of desperation, since I've never seen a card aimed at competing with a GTX '60 priced so low at launch.  
 
I've said it before and I'll say it again: low-end cards don't control the marketplace.  $300-500 cards are what pull in the most revenue.

So why did I buy this LG 27UD68 4k free sync monitor again? Oh yeah, last month it was $150-200 cheaper than a comparable G-Sync... I guess I am already married to AMD so I will just wait it out for the 490/590 or whatever they call it. I have a 4+ year old 7870 xt that is limited to 1080p/60 gaming with low details, so the VEGA might be behind the eight ball, but it can't get here soon enough to rescue me.. lol

Computer A: 2500k, 16GB ddr3 2133, 7870 xt
Computer B: 2500k , 8GB ddr3 2133, GTX 970
2017 Wish list: Cheapest rig that runs steady 4k/75-100Hz

I keep seeing users here right off AMD, meanwhile their stock is up 300%. They're in every MAC, Xbox, PlayStation, upcoming server centers, and have took back part of the market. Its time we all




Going with the lowest bidder doesn't mean it's better ;)
