Vega 56 Under $450 Today... finally

Maybe just maybe deep learning had something to do with the awful prices, apart from the dreaded miners of course.

Otherwise for off-die memory, the processor has 32GB of HBM2 (4 8-Hi 1GB stacks) on the shared interposer, resulting in 8 terabits/s of access bandwidth.

Just like Google's TPU v2 this thing's goobling up HBM en masse, not unlike big Pascal or Volta, I bet HBM is gonna be in short supply for the next few years

Neither you can get Vega 56 for 450$, right? Anyways, my point was that GTX1070 is a better product (IMO) than Vega 56 and cost less without any super discounts and rebates.

Personally, I think their both great products, and I've owned both a 1070 and 1060 6gb. I just won't shell out a $200+ premium for gsync.

Down volt overclock and you hardly even hear the fan.. I've got 2 as well and your right, they're really acceptable for noise when tuned right

Exactly what I did.

Also now a drop in the Vega 64, nothing under $600 last week IIRC

Not bad, but then you can grab a GTX 1080 at the moment for $489.99:

Destiny 2 bundled with it makes it even better value for money.

Performance is about on par for a good penny less and yes, the bundle sure sweetens it. Wonder if they'll go lower after the 1070 Ti is out in force.

Well, I don’t care about G/FreeSync at all.

For CSGO vsync disabled since I don’t see any tearing in this game, for Arma/PUBG i use Fast Sync and for slow paced games just nornal vsync.

Not going to spend even 1 extra euro for anything with “G-Sync/FreeSync”.
