Title: Prices on AMD GPUs normalized

If anyone is interested, it looks like prices on AMD GPUs have dropped recently to normal levels (for instance on AMD Vega). I suppose cryptocurrency mining craze is over, so now is a good time to upgrade your card if you need.
Xpander 24 Jun 2018
Not here sadly. Vega 56 is 600€ + and Vega 64 is same price as GTX 1080 Ti, 725-850€

Vega 56 isn't really a upgrade for me either though. Waiting for next gen

I could get a PowerColor Radeon RX Vega 64 Red Devil for 609 €, initial price was 559 €.

Not in desperate need for an upgrade but i would not be very sad if I could ditch my GTX 770.
Next gen is supposed to drop mid 2019 and high end sometime later ?
Shmerl 16 Jul 2018
It's not very clear, but supposedly 2019, yes.

So what do you say ? That bios feature seems kind of neat, the card would fit my case if I remove the unneeded HDD carriage. Price seems OK.

Really tempted.

its a massive upgrade from GTX 770 for you, so if you are fine for paying that money, go for it. Make sure you have decent enough PSU though as this sucker will need some wattage.

edit: just noticed your pc specs, most likely your xeon will be bottleneck in many games though and you wont even use this GPU to its max unless you play higher than 1080p
Shmerl 16 Jul 2018
Yeah, Vega 64 is quite power hungry. I found that Vega 56 is enough for my needs so far.

Yup, going with a xeon was a fail in the past. I'm planing a complete AMD rebuild though. This might be just the first piece.

Absurdly the powercolor Vega 56 costs 50 € more than the Vega 64.

I got Sapphire Pulse Vega 56. Good cooling, but it is still more expensive than it should be.

That one goes for 575 € currently, first listed price was 593,80 € and max was at 908,00 € :><:

Prices went down even further now. Vega 56 is getting close to originally planed price.

I just ordered an RX 580 from eBay the other day. It's not exactly an upgrade, but I wanted to switch to AMD, and I should be able to do it without much out-of-pocket expense.

As far as the faster cards go: Not taking inflation into account, I don't think I'll ever spend $400+ on a graphics card. I bought a $500 card like twelve years ago and it started acting up a year later. It was also only worth about $250 after one year if it would have been in great condition. I gave it to my dad back then for free. What a letdown. Since then, I don't think I've even gone into the $300 range.

$300-$400 range though is expected for high end cards.

Yeah, I will say that I end up buying graphic cards more often than some friends that buy higher end.

I haven't seen those prices for ages though. Rx580 is still from £280 to £400 and Vega 56/62 nothing cheaper than £490 :/

I see Sapphire Pulse Vega 56 for $479 on Newegg now. That's a bit overpriced still, but close to normal. That should be £375.12, unless somehow local prices are skewed as well.

They are. $ prices do not include VAT, all European prices do.

Anyone here use Pro WX 7100 ?
how good is Pro WX 7100 compared to RX Vega 64 ?
Shmerl 30 Aug 2018
Prices on Sapphire Nitro Vega 64 have dropped. Surprisingly, on Newegg it's just $20 more than Sapphire Pulse Vega 56. Quite unexpected. Not that I'd buy it since Vega 56 is enough for me for now, but someone might be interested.

Sapphire Pulse Vega 56 dropped to $400 on Newegg.
