For $350 you can get an RTX 2060 or a slightly slower Vega 56. So AMD is fleecing customers too?

- kristofferR 8y agoThe Vega 56 was barely competitive when it was released in 2017, it's overpriced simply because AMD can't compete (let's hope for interesting CES news though). The fact that the clear market and product leader releases a new product barely competitive with an old mediocre competitor product is troubling. The only reason they are allowed to increase the price of the *60 series by $100 this generation is since they don't have any real competition, something they're taking advantage of to the detriment of the GPU market.
- TomVDB 8y agoSee my reply somewhere else. I simply do not understand why people are so hung up on the name and positioning of a product. If these products were evaluated on performance, price, features, and power consumption, with the name blacked out, the currently announced GPU would be the undisputed winner in its price category. For the consumer, that’s ultimately all that matters.
