Vega just came out so it will be very bug infested with driver problems and the power consumption i s WOW! Amd what the heck are you doing i need to set up a small power plant for your gpu?
1080ti is the right way
It's just why AMD is always second place in life. The whole world is buying GPU's for mining like we've never seen before? Let's offer slightly more juice for a lot more power, sounds good! Nvidia doesn't even have to release a new product. They're winning by not being as bad as AMD.
AMD CEO in her earning call:
"Relative to cryptocurrency, we have seen some elevated demand," Su said. "But it's important to say we didn't have cryptocurrency in our forecast, and we're not looking at it as a long-term growth driver. But we'll certainly continue to watch the developments around the blockchain technologies as they go forward"
SO forget Vega, they don't care
I had similar thoughts on AMD to many of you...
