Anyone who buys this for gaming is an idiot. Even at the original $499 MSRP it still isn’t as fast as a 1080. At $650 you are almost at 1080 ti price which will murder this card.

CokemanYep. Vega 56 is the only one that is worth it for the money if you can get it for MSRP, but of course by the time its available again for $399 the 1070 Ti will probably be out.

It came from the picture at the bottom of that post.

CokemanI think you're quite right, because the entire Pascal series of cards is a generation ahead of AMD at the moment. The 1070 Ti wouldn't need to happen because Nvidia themselves delayed the rollout of Volta, which technically (and this bears precedent) could be delayed yet further if they retool for a Pascal 2 revision like they did with the Maxwell 2 series, transitioning the 700 series to the 900 series. Looking at the PCB's of various Pascal cards, it would seem a few of them could be reconfigured to more memory chips (the 1060 and 1080Ti in particular, they have empty ram module slots that are mighty suspicious lol) if Nvidia decides to save Volta for a 2019 rollout for example. I've got a 1060 myself (paid $170, was also supposed to have a $20 rebate but evga is flaky on this) and I can wait a generation or two before the next major refresh. As far as AMD cards go, I wonder if the Vega cards are better as AMD workstation/gaming environments where future Crossfire use might be considered?

Abesteroni1080 ti has an empty memory slot because it's a cut-down Titan which had one more GB of VRAM. Nothing sinister here, just a cost-saving measure.

AnzialTrue, but the 1060 series is still something of a mystery- both 3GB and 6GB variants have a blank spot for an extra ram module, which begs the question if it might become something like a 4/GB card in a future revision, or possibly even an 8/16GB card in a future revision if double density modules are used vs current gen modules and all slots occupied on the card. It's all speculation but the thought that future budget and midrange cards could have both blazing fast GPU's and massive chunks of fast memory on the same card at prices rivaling that of today's Nvidia cards, is exciting.
