    Waiting for AIB Vega cards (w/Custom Coolers)? Well...be prepared to keep on waiting.

    Nope. €550 for the cheapest RX56. Couple of weeks ago there were a couple days where several shops in Germany sold a bunch of RX56 for €399 and RX64 for €499. Maybe they're stockpiling for the "relaunch". Pipe dream I know ;)

    Raja Koduri Leaves AMD.

    I don't understand. Industry specialists on this very forum told me this guy is terrible at his job and should've been fired ages ago.

    AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 and 56 Reviews [*UPDATED* Aug 28]

    €430 for RX56, that's not even a high price. I'd buy that in a heartbeat. Best I can find that ships here is €509.

    AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 and 56 Reviews [*UPDATED* Aug 28]

    Thanks for reminding us of your position on Vega! You hadn't reposted it yet today so I was getting worried whether it was still the same as yesterday/last week/a month ago/a year ago.

    AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 and 56 Reviews [*UPDATED* Aug 28]

    That makes no sense, the other way around is a lot more of an issue: being locked in when upgrading your GPU. It would be much easier for me to go back to Nvidia if they stopped being jackasses and just supported the VESA adaptive sync standard. I really want to get an AMD GPU but it's absurd...

    Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition 17.5.1

    It applies the settings now. But it still doesn't work properly. They really shouldn't have bothered with Wattman on the 300 series if they were going to do this bad of a job. Back to 16.11.5 once again.

    High refresh rate Gsync monitor + Doom = Jaw drop

    I instantly notice something is "off" when freesync is disabled on my 144hz display. It's become an indispensible feature for me. YMMV, but for a gamer it doesn't make much sense to buy a non-adaptive sync monitor at this point.

    High refresh rate Gsync monitor + Doom = Jaw drop

    Seeing how much you spend on GPU's annually you really should've done this way sooner. I couldn't miss it anymore even on my lowly 390. Playing DOOM at 60fps feels like a slideshow :)

    Polaris Refresh (RX 500 Series) Rumors

    So any date on this or just soon™?

    Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition 17.4.1

    Radeon WattMan may fail to apply settings on some Radeon R9 390 series graphics products. Nice that this finally made it to the known issues lists.

    Is there really considerable difference between 60Hz and 144Hz?

    At 1080p sure, at 1440p no. First person games is where high framerates really shine anyway. Now that I'm used to 100+ fps, 60 fps feels like 30 fps used to. I wouldn't bother to get a new display without adaptive sync though.

    HDMI 2.1Announced

    Big step closer to variable refresh rates on all monitors and TV's. Excellent.

    Another Monitor Suggestion Thread. Hot Girls Inside!

    Bunch of new monitors should be announced at CES. Probably want to wait for that.

    Asus ROG Strix RX480 OC vs MSI Gaming GTX 1060 OC [HardOCP]

    Why stick to 1 API per game? Just compare the performance on whichever API runs faster for that card.
