    Sadly they weren’t that impactful besides the Vega 56 - competed very well with the GTX 1070 and Nvidia launched the GTX 1070 Ti because of it - they consumed too much power at stock because of overvoltage and they launched way too late…

      Yep, they were honestly decent cards, but wrong time to launch. Same issue nVidia had with 400 series, without the whole “overpriced to fuck, trying to scam customers” kinda deal they had with the benchmarking requirements for reviewers.

      loved my Vega 56, performed well, and a little undervolting fixed the power issue big time… didn’t feel like I were missing out for “not buying Nvidia”

        It really was a good GPU, sadly the 1st impression Vega gave wasn’t good stacked with being one year late, overvolted and barely could reach the GTX 1080 at launch…

        I would’ve gotten one if they weren’t quite uncommon in my country, even Navi was a lot more easy to find in the used market so I ended up getting a RX 5700 that’s serving me very well!
