For a high end system, and possibly still saving some cash on the GPUs, this could make sense, if done properly. 3x vega could outperform 2x 1080Ti for similar price, remember CF is generally better than SLI recently. We will have to see, it will come down to drivers/price to determine if Vega is competitive.
imo Vega is the worst GPU architecture ever. It has regressed from Fiji in every aspect - perf/sq mm , perf/watt and looks like even perf/clock. I have never seen such a bad GPU failure from AMD or Nvidia in 2 decades of PC GPUs.
Fermi was better than Vega. Vega is worse than Fermi.lol, Fermi says hi.
Except all indications point to AMD putting less effort into CF and not more...If priced properly, and with driver refinement/CF profiles, AMD could take the lead back with Vega CF.

Fermi was late by 9 months. ATI had the first DX11 card, the HD5870, out against the 30-40% slower warmed over DX10 GTX 285.Fermi was better than Vega. Vega is worse than Fermi.
Fermi was on time, and the performance was also competitive. The only thing was high power consumption.
Ok my bad. But Vega is a bigger failure than Fermi. But if they had managed the efficiency and it had launched by end of last year or early this year then Vega wouldn't be worse than Fermi.Fermi was late by 9 months.

The HD 5870 was only $379 at the time. ATI still didn't come anywhere close to equal marketwise.
AT review is farked? Can't see most of the images.

Despite all that Vega 56 and 64 are going to be instantly sold out as soon as they go on sale because miners and freesync monitor owners are going to lap it up.
The 2900XT was supposed to be as fast as the 8800GTX but was only as fast the next fastest 8800GTS 640.
Really impressed with Vega 56..in many benchmarks its only slightly behind the Vega 64 and ahead of the 1070 in most tests that i've seen.
