Do I go for it? It's actually a lot cheaper than I expected.
For reference, a 1080 is ~$1000 NZD

make sure to buy a 1000watt PSU too

>fucking 40% mark up
what the fuck

>>61895930
I have a 750W and 1700X

System load (including Vega) is maximally 600W

>cost * xchg * GST
$499 * 1.37 * 1.15 = $785

1148 / 785 = 146%

>146%

Yeah, it's fucked, but it's not necessarily quite as fucked as the mining markup.
>>
>>61895930
A 750W from a good brand will work fine. AMD said that they recommend 1000W just incase stupid people with a $30 dollar shitty PSU decide to buy the card.
>>
>>61895918
You could import a 1080ti for that price

>>61896494
Then why would you consider a Vega? Worse performance, higher power draw.

Hey mate, that's a terrible buy

AMD's contribution to FOSS
nVidias terrible business practices put me off their products
I don't want to install nVidia's GeForce Experience
I like new and innovative technology (HBM)
I'm also just a bit of an AMD fanboi

He-hey I bought that gpu's "xtreme edition" and only cautions are just that its quite heavy and long. Under stress it's a silent miracle

This is a Team red bullshit. Pic related of the 780 ti drivers improvement

>I don't want to install nVidia's GeForce Experience

You don't need it.

>I like new and innovative technology (HBM)

HBMeme is useless, if you want it, you can also get a P100...
>>
>>61896650
>I don't want to install nVidia's GeForce Experience
You don't have to, you can install the Nvidia driver just fine without it.
>>
>>61896701
At least I can get 200Mbit/s Fibre.

>>61896718
How do those benchmarks show anything? Only retards think that driver "gimping" is a real thing.
>you can also get a P100
That's not an argument...
>>
>>61896650
I usually praise AMD and hate nvidia just because of their goyworks shit, tesselation over saturating to make AMD look bad in redundant places etc but AMD really dropped the ball with Vega 64 leaving nvidia only viable choice on high end, and don't be stupid when installing nvidia drivers, open the pack and just remove GeForce experience shadowplay telemetry etc. Sure it's a hassle and just the existence of some said packages are God awful.. But AMD FUCKING DROPPED THE BALL WITH VEGA 64

>780 ti drivers improvement
>improvement

I don't know about you bud, but the 2016 numbers look worse than the 2013 numbers for the 780Ti
However the 290X improved.
>>
>>61896764
>>61896737
The point is it's the same numbers, AMDfags said Nvidia intentionally decrease the 780ti with new drivers
>>
>>61896795
>AMDfags
There are retards on both sides, and the retards are the loudest of all of us.
>>
>>61896764
>I don't know about you bud, but the 2016 numbers look worse than the 2013 numbers for the 780Ti
It scored worse in 2016 in 5 out of 29 benchmarks, and 2 of those 5 were only worse at one resolution. How is that overall worse than the 2013 numbers ?
Everything other than Firestrike, DiRT Showdown, Civilization V, and Arkham Origins shows either higher or exactly the same numbers for 2016.
>>
>>61896738
> tesselation over saturating to make AMD look bad
Did you know AMD drivers have a special setting "optimize tessellation to 8x" turned on by default?
>>
wait for Volta™ gpus are shit to buy right now

>amd hires staff to optimise opencl on blender
>blender cucks amd optimising cycles for cuda

foss contributions doesn't pay. More effort could have been spent on marketing.

Nazi Dollars?
>>
>>61898078
No, unfortunately.
Nazi Dollars would make most things cheaper, not more expensive.
New Zealand dollars are pretty much the opposite of Nazi Dollars.
>>
>>61895918
Don't get the reference model

They're way louder than portrayed in videos, worst thing I've ever bought

drove me mad
>>
>>61896494
then buy a 1080Ti ffs and that's coming from a soon Vega buyer.
>>
>>61896737

holy shit this is kim dot com in this thread !!

>>61898078
Nazi dollars would be NSD
