Nope. €550 for the cheapest RX56. Couple of weeks ago there were a couple days where several shops in Germany sold a bunch of RX56 for €399 and RX64 for €499.
Maybe they're stockpiling for the "relaunch". Pipe dream I know ;)
Thanks for reminding us of your position on Vega!
You hadn't reposted it yet today so I was getting worried whether it was still the same as yesterday/last week/a month ago/a year ago.
That makes no sense, the other way around is a lot more of an issue: being locked in when upgrading your GPU.
It would be much easier for me to go back to Nvidia if they stopped being jackasses and just supported the VESA adaptive sync standard.
I really want to get an AMD GPU but it's absurd...
It applies the settings now. But it still doesn't work properly.
They really shouldn't have bothered with Wattman on the 300 series if they were going to do this bad of a job. Back to 16.11.5 once again.
I instantly notice something is "off" when freesync is disabled on my 144hz display. It's become an indispensible feature for me.
YMMV, but for a gamer it doesn't make much sense to buy a non-adaptive sync monitor at this point.
Seeing how much you spend on GPU's annually you really should've done this way sooner. I couldn't miss it anymore even on my lowly 390.
Playing DOOM at 60fps feels like a slideshow :)
At 1080p sure, at 1440p no.
First person games is where high framerates really shine anyway. Now that I'm used to 100+ fps, 60 fps feels like 30 fps used to. I wouldn't bother to get a new display without adaptive sync though.
Geforce 3 Ti 500
Radeon 9700
Radeon 9800XT
Laptops with mobile Geforce 8600 and Radeon 4850 (dark days)
Geforce GTX 570 (SLI later on.)
Geforce GTX 970 (Probably would still be using this if it actually had 4GB as advertised.)
Radeon R9 390
Probably Vega next year.
So what you're saying is Nvidia has no vision because they develop inferior tech like FXAA. Ok got it.
Seriously, sober up, you're making no sense and derailing the thread.
The post you responded to had Warhammer tested with FXAA, which is Nvidia tech AFAIK.
Fantastic you provided 8x MSAA benches though, so relevant and useful when comparing cards in the BF1 thread!
Why does anyone give a crap about day 1 benchmarks anyway, let alone pre-release. There are always issues to be worked out.
For QB in particular, it took Remedy and Microsoft 2 months to fix up the UWP version to acceptable standards. In the end performance was alright, considering the...
I just went from 8GB to 16GB, because it's cheap, because I'm not upgrading until Icelake and because I got around to playing Arkham Knight. And AK isn't the only game that benefits from >8GB, so I'm sure I'll get my "investment" out of it.
This again. Like you said, there are just as many high-end Freesync as G-sync options. Obviously, you get what you pay for. A $200 24" won't have the same features as a $1000 34" curved ultrawide, that doesn't make them "bad freesync implementations".
How it could ever be considered a negative...
Could just buy a 480 and a nice A-sync monitor and then sell the 480 for whatever comes next. 480 resale value will be good for quite a while. Not having gamed in 5 years you have a huge selection of games a 480 can run flawlessly.
Also, to put things straight. Adaptive sync is the VESA...
There is no such thing like an "AMD ecosystem". It's a VESA standard.
It may be JHH's dream to turn Nvidia into the Apple of computer hardware. But we shouldn't allow or support anti-consumer practices like that. Computer hardware should conform to industry wide standards.
@OP Nevertheless...
It actually got a bit better for a couple of weeks. But now a certain somebody is back and redoubling his efforts.
I'm not quite sure why a handful of people are allowed to twist and spin every single topic around here into the same Nvidia vs AMD drivel, killing any possibility of interesting...
Starting to think some people here would even argue it would make perfect sense for Nvidia to charge $20,000 for their cards. Just look at the performance increase and the new experiences these enable compared to their older cards!
Mind-boggling how any hardware enthusiast could reason like this.
I used to be of the opinion vsync input lag wasn't a big deal.
Then I got an A-sync monitor and was blown away by how much more responsive games felt, while at the same eliminating tearing and allowing smooth variable framerates.
So yea, A-sync definitely lived up to the hype for me. Should be...
They're getting off cheap. But not as cheap as In the EU, retailers simply ate the cost of Nvidia's deception here.
Thanks Amazon, for funding my upgrade to a better card.
You don't say.
We already have games like that though. Like Hitman and Total War, BF1 is pretty much guaranteed to benefit from it on 64 player servers once DX12 is actually finished.
Pointless trying to draw conclusions about DX12 based on this beta implementation. I hold DICE in higher regard...
Nvidia is greatest company! Nvidia sells all the cards! Nvidia makes all the money!
Give it a rest already, nobody cares.
Threadcrapping is not allowed.

I never even mentioned 1440p.
Still running 1080p here. Getting in the 50's with foliage visibility range turned down a notch and modded hairworks, freesync takes care of the rest.
Might want to look into a monitor upgrade next. Adaptive sync is a must have, not being tied down to 60Hz prolongs...
1070 at 2Ghz still can't max TW3 at 60fps... Yay for Hairworks.
That card is $550 in Europe as well. I'm not biting until AMD shows up. The need to upgrade has become a lot less urgent since I got a freesync monitor.
With everything included currently paying 24,7 €c/kWh ;).
So if I can drop this 390 for a decent price I'm getting in on that 480 action. Mostly because buying new GPU's is fun though.
