more is better.
ā¦ Unless itās more unmerited hype.
at this point Iām fairly sure weāve reached an impasse. You donāt think you need over 60fps. Cool. Thatās your opinion. But brushing everything else off because of one article is a bit silly.
Indeed. Itās about as silly as assuming someone is brushing off everything else because of one article.
Which reminds meā¦ What was this thread about to begin with? Oh, right. It was about finding a good, reliable budget card at a good price. Thanks to AMD I donāt need one anymore. Or should I be thanking NVIDIA? hmmmmā¦ No worries, I got what I wanted and then some. But 600 bux for a stinkinā graphics card??? Man, what a soaking!
Ebay used 980 Tiā¦ totally worth buyingā¦ and is in that price range
Just what exactly did you buy for such a potentially an exorbitant price?
:::grins::: The thread that never endsā¦ (And to think that all I wanted was a good price on a decent budget card when I first started it). Well, HK I forked out 600 Canadian (30 dollar rebate allegedly forthcoming) because I could not find a decent, stable budget card that actually existed in the shipping capacity of a retailer. So I had to cough up the xtra to get something that remotely resembled what I was looking for. Alas, the only thing that came close to that description was what some would call a āhigh endā card. Now to be clear, this is NOT because an RX 580 WOULDNāT have fit the bill. No, it was more like I had a choice to pay over 3x the list price for one of those or a little over 200 dollars more for a card that out performed the 580. I chose the latter. Feel free to read the whole thread. Remember to grab a large bowl of popcorn before you get started
:::sigh::: I always miss the good deals
Iāve been in this thread for some time nowā¦and I think you overpaid. Makes me glad I upgraded my video card during Christmas instead of waiting.
Well, it depends. I seem to have gotten a really good card as far as the silly cone lottery goes. 600 Canadian isnāt nearly 600 U.S. these days. But you have every reason to smile. Have you looked at what the VEGA 64 costs??? Thought Iād check the Newegg Canada site and nearly fell out of my chair. Theyāre all the better part of a thousand bux and some well over a grand. One is nearly two thousand Canadian. At those prices we can both share a hearty laugh and congratulate each other for NOT WAITING. https://www.newegg.ca/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=vega+64&N=-1&isNodeId=1
The Vega FE cards are not gaming cards and have twice the HBM2 of the RX flavor. Not really comparable.
Wait, Vega is finally out? Also, those prices donāt strike me as consumer grade equipment prices.
Evidently you didnāt click on the link. Mind you, that was Newegg (dot CA) NCIX might be cheaper.
The frontier edition work station card sure looks purdee.
I did click on the link, and I made a rough currency conversion in my head.
How did that work out for ya? Woot! A 1200 dollar reference card! lol
For some reason I didnāt manage to catch the full quote so Iām trying this again.
To be fair, that is correct regarding these VEGA FE cards but if this is any indication of what the regular cards will cost then Iām only too happy I didnāt bother waiting. In fact, Iām looking at some gaming cards right now that only further verify my suspicions. Iām not seeing any great advantage here. The standard VEGAs are still $200.oo more than what I paid for my GTX 1070 and a rather doubt they perform much better.
We know MSRP. That wonāt stop retailers from gouging though, which may already be happening.
Itās a given. That aside, the bottom line is the proof in the pudding. All this chatter certainly helped me make the right choice though so Iām glad I joined up here.
