Still happy with my performance from Vega@1440 but now that I’m overclocking power consumption went out the window. But it’s still running cool doing it so couldn’t care less.
Try Norway....(Ex-Pat Canuck) you don’t want to know what I paid for my Vega and I got in on “sale” and was literally the only one in the country at the time...
I can only imagine. European nations can get horribly screwed because of VAT taxes, and other little taxes on everything. So I can sympathize.
Edit:
I would like to share my 2 Kopeks on this.
There are people here who are very over zealous on the comments about AMD and their Radeon 7, were they borderline call it trash cause it doesn't compete against the 2080ti. OK, its fair to complain that AMD may not come out with top tier top of the line to compete. But to compete with the option just below it is good for me. Good for most. As competition allows to eventually fight over with price point too. Issue is, AMD is still using the HBM memory which is expensive to say the least. If they went GDDR6 then it may drop price point by at least $100. Maybe I am exaggerating though.
I am not the man who buys top of the line. Mid tier is good for me. Something like a RTX2060 is right at the sweet spot, if it wasn't for the price. Price should be at least $280 - $300 IMO. Now I am intrigued to see what they (AMD) comes out with in that category. My only gripe is the wattage. Otherwise, I wont crap on AMD just because they dont have a 2080TI competitor. I really dont care about that category. And judging by the average consumer, I say they don't care either.
I don't have a favorite brand. Favorite brands are for chumps. I go for best price to performance. Simple as that.
