Mad angry gamers can now put down their pitchforks toward miners.
The mining speeds of the RX Vega 54 and 64 are really low for the power draw and the price.

Look at the "What about cryptocurrency mining?" section. Speeds are only 31-33mh/s when mining Ethereum and not the 60-100mh/s that I once saw last week.
"Given the shortages on AMD's RX 570/580 cards, which are typically selling at prices 50 percent or more above the MSRP, many have feared—and miners have hoped—that the RX Vega would be another excellent mining option. I poked around a bit to see what sort of performance the Vega 56/64 delivered in Ethereum mining, and so far it's been pretty lackluster, considering the price and power use. The Vega 56 manages around 31MH/s for Ethereum, and the Vega 64 does 33MH/s. Overclocking the VRAM helps boost both cards closer to 40MH/s right now. So at launch, that's not super promising.
The problem is that most of the mining software has been finely tuned to run on AMD's Polaris architecture. Given time, we could see substantially higher hashrates out of Vega, and there are rumors that the right combination of VBIOS, drivers, and mining software can hit mining speeds more than double what I measured. Perhaps AMD is intentionally holding back drivers or other tweaks that would boost mining performance, and long-term AMD remains committed to gaming. All we can do is hold our breath and hope that mining doesn't drive prices of Vega into the stratosphere in the future."
The reason for low stock right now might be that AMD didnt have lots of stock or the price gouging people are the reason. Any sane miner will not even touch any RX Vega for their mining enjoyment.
