Vega Thoughts?

So yeah..... About that....

Reminds me a bit of the Polaris launch in that the reviews seem to be a mixed bag and supply issues are already looming

The 56 looks to be an excellent price/perf card if they can keep it stocked near MSRP

Vega arch looks to be a killer card for non-gaming workloads

Looks like we'll have another Polaris-Out-Of-Stock style launch, this time exacerbated by miners

Like Zen, Vega was always intended for workloads over gaming. AMD has said many times that their future is in the DC, and Vega's architecture seems to double down on this approach.

If they can keep these fuckers on the shelf, I'm a happy camper with what RTG has thrown down with Vega. This next month will be crucial inventory wise.

What say you?
