Don't get it how an architecture a bit bigger than the 1080ti, more transistors, 1 year more development time and it can barely even compete with the GTX 1080 and consumes more power!
The point most people miss here is Vega is supposed to trade blows with GP100, GP102 and GP104. One single jack-of-all chip that has to battle three specialized chips from the competition. And if you take into account raw flops it also competes with V100.
In fact Vega FE competes with GP102 in PRO workloads. Competes with GP104 in gaming. Destroys GP100 and is supposed to be on par with V100 in 16b workloads.
Waiting for the RX it seems atm they focused somewhere else the thin budget they had.
If priced competitively I'm still buying an RX for gaming, since I have an ASUS MG279Q and I really want to retire my HD6870 (that I just switched in removing the HD6950). I'd like an AiO version, or a Nano (and I'm pretty sure I can make a Nano out of any AiB partner card with some downclocking and a lot of downvolting).
