    DOA launch price. At $550 these would have sold like hotcakes and doubled their marketshare. Instead they just keep matching Nvidia MSRP which means people will just keep buying Nvidia as AMD’s software stack and feature support is always 1 full generation behind. The “midrange” market is well and truely dead.

    Wait for Intel Battlemage b770.

      The prices do seem high considering what you’re getting and the fact that Nvidia has more features.

    I remember my Asus Strix Vega 64 being about that much.

    The shitty thermal pad QC and voltage spike issues assured I never got another Asus product.
