AMD Vega May Launch with Less Than 20,000 Units Available

Fresh from the rumor-mill comes a report that low HBM2 availability may cripple the Vega launch that is expected to happen in the next few weeks, if a report from TweakTown is to be believed. As far as sources, there isn't much other than TweakTown's news report and their article claiming they had been told this by an "exclusive industry source." Apply your usual grain of salt here vigilant reader, but its certainly interesting speculation, if nothing else. It may turn out to be FUD, or it may turn out to be truth. Only the coming weeks will reveal the truth.

Fluffmeister$650 for niche is OK as long as it is an AMD product.

$700 for the 1080 Ti is crazy insane.
Who said that? That with inflation accounted for is actually cheaper than both companies offered for high end products.

Here quick example 6800 Ultra was released in 2004 with a list price of $600



7950GX2 released at $650 in 2006

Merely an observation, i corrected others on high end GPU prices recently accounting for inflation and they went quiet.

For a smallish card I'm sure the Nano was a bargain.

People probably just want to live in the glory days of the 4870 those cards were the true bargains. The 4870X2 with a $550 price point was the same way, same way with the GTX280, 9800GTX etc.

GasarakiAnd how many people care two shits about any of that? Nano was dead on arrival because a GTX970 was faster. AMD needs a high performing card, not another Nano or Fury X. They already have the R580.
Ignorance level is so high within this post.
(basically an answer to "what is driving nvidia's/intel's sales".

Nano was faster than 970, but, wait for it, Nano was also faster than 980.

Guess he forgot to turn off Hairworks in TW3 back then. Don't blame him, its hard to tweak settings. Nvidia told him that was the way it was meant to be played
