AMD's Higher Vega GPU Prices - No Longer The Budget King?

2017-08-21
huh okay I don't even know really where to even start today because I'm just kind of like tripping the out and that's what it is now you guys know for years I've always supported AMD as the underdog they were always fighting against the nvidia thing but the thing that AMD always had was they had lower prices on all of their stuff you know that's just how it was we all went AMD we didn't have the money to buy the higher and stuff we went to them as our budget stuff and we've been doing that for years but my question of the day is is Andy actually going to remain the budget King because there's just a lot of weird stuff going on I told you guys in my fanboy video that just blindly buying stuff without knowing how well it does or anything completely destroys completely destroys competition I mean the Vega card came out I don't know what you guys think but in all honesty I mean it was it was pretty good it was not exactly what I thought that it was going to be and I based all my reviews off the prices that we were told the cards were you know when we did the card launch well it's kind of funny because a few days after the review came out the prices went up and if you go out and you look you can't pretty much find any AMD card in stock right now now some of this obviously has to do with mining but a lot of it just has just buying stuff like my friend mark and we'll have the scores for this from from his from his channel on here he bought the liquid cooled version of the 64 1300 freaking dollars it's nowhere near as fast as a Titan XP and even at its extreme rates it does beat at 1080 but let's just face it $1,300 you can get a 1080 online for less than 400 bucks if you look around there people selling used for 395 450 bucks but definitely you can get a 1080 for much cheaper now another thing I want to address here is a lot of people were asking you know hey man were those scores that you were doing right the 64-bit card is actually doing worse than the 56 and yes it's true the MSAA does not seem to be able to be handled whatsoever on the 64-bit card the 64 obviously and the 56 does actually does better the Vega 56 because it actually handles it better now there's been a lot of weird scoring stuff I'm shaking my head - I yell to the guy who does my testing I'm like dude what are you doing this can't be realistic like how is this car beating it so we talked to some other sites and we talked to mark from Babel tech reviews and like yes it's true in a lot of instances the 56 actually can beat the 64 and that's just the way that it is but the thing that blows my mind is that none of these cards are in stock anywhere they raise the prices and now you came and get one of these video cards anywhere for any low price so if you were expecting to hop into an AMD card to do your system and expecting to save money or be on a budget no way so I have to say right now as far as the VGA side of things AMD is no longer the budget choice now they may put on their card as a retail thing some price but you're seeing everywhere out there that these cards are expensive as hell and I noticed some guys to say they got really lucky you know they walked into a Best Buy well I've walked into a bunch of Best Buy is trying to find these cards and I can never find in stock or believe me I would buy a couple more myself just to have them here for reviews but you can't get any of these cards now is they AMD purposely not putting the cards out to the market or that just that people just suck in these things up for no reason because if you're just a gamer why would you not want to get yourself a 1080 TI at this point since the Vegas 64 can't beat it and you can get a liquid-cooled one for much cheaper than $1,300 so mark went out he spent $1300 on this card I was just like wow dude really 1,300 bucks so he's like well you know I think it sound from AMD I wanna have a good one so I bought it but just imagine that man 13 I think is even more than 1300 dollars of tax and shipping and all that crap I think was even more than that that's a lot of money though for a card that will not be a Titan XP liquid car which you can get for around the same price I think there are about $1400 on average but if you look around I've seen them as low as 1300 bucks especially around the same price as this and we're talking about something that has more performance so I'm really just scratching my head all around right now on this AMD thing now obviously when it comes to CPUs the market seems to balance out right there we kind of know where they're at you know they have more cores are they beating you notes into the over i7s no they're not at when you know and we'll see you in the next gen raishin of Intel CPUs gets here which is in about a month or so we'll see how it actually does against those releases now obviously no Intel stepped on their dick on this last launch and I think if you've got them in a room they bi yeah all right we just do this crap out there you know because they're really waiting for the next generation of CPUs and I've talked to a lot of the people that make manufacturers a motherboard and stuff and they all tell me that the next-gen is badass so I'm really looking forward to that I mean I did buy a 78 20 at a 7800 we just actually got them in the other day and I'm waiting for my motherboards we bought those just I had to see what they do but AMD on the CPU side of thing seems to be you know pretty balanced out when it comes to the GPUs and video cards it's just outrageous and really the thing that takes me up is I really don't understand is why they raise the prices a couple days after release I mean everything in my video is based on the fact that yeah it could be to 1070 and it was at a better price point than a 1070 well now it's about $100 more than a 1070 so does my review that I made does it even mean jack anymore honestly I feel like my reduced irrelevant now because I based it on performance versus price so in essence AMD you kind of made me a liar man not not appreciating that then following you for years and helping you out but now you made me a bunch of us other reviewers you've pretty much made us out to be Liars because you raised the price and I'm still just like wondering what the hell is going on with stuff like this AMD at this point right now for me I do not feel that they're like the budget leader in the video card department they're just not every one of their video cards right now is super inflated prices I mean I guess this is really due to everybody out there doing different kinds of mining stuff that's well you know everybody is claiming you know is what's up but is it really that or they're just a short of GPUs being put out to the market forcing a crowd of fans who want these cards to pay the price just because they can't get a hold of me you know like like it's like the lost diamond of Sahara to get an AMD card well I'm not going to pay those high prices and you guys spoke when I did my last video and I put an AMD video card in there and all you guys did was bitch unsub and leave me nasty notes about how up I was for using this $349 video card in the system you know the 570 you know I listened you guys I brought near the 1050 GI system to the board like you guys wanted but the whole thing is though is that those prizes and all that stuff have nothing to do with me Tek them tomorrow has absolutely nothing to do with AMD is high prices and I chose that video card because I thought you guys are the hard core AMD fans would want to see this system of the 1200 with an AMD card in it but that really didn't seem to be the case there were really a couple of requests from people were like hey you know use this of their car but pretty much across the board the 1050 Ti is what everybody said would match that system perfectly so at the end of the day what are we going to do if the CPU side of things for me and being start becoming the same way just going up going up going up going up video cards going up and will NVIDIA when they release their next generation cards that supports totally the same type of things that AMD is doing as far as the mining goes how will that shifts the market when they do that will AMD cards no longer become like that lost diamond of blah blah blah blah or will they just begin it be something that balances out the market like usual I want to hear you guys comments below but right now I'm just I'm kind of really angry about the pice raising I'm sick of the price gouging and all the weird comments going around to it I should be able to go out there and purchase an AMD card at the price that they listed at launch you know what I mean when they release the 570 I should be able to go buy a 570 at a 570 price but can I tell to the no they're almost $400 even more expensive in some cases so it's just gotten crazy I don't know if AMD is in it you know sorry I don't know if really AMD in the future is going to be the budget King anymore because the way things are trending AMD right now is getting more money for their video cards that actually have less performance than their Nvidia counterpart and that's just completely utterly crazy at the end of my day when I go out and I buy something with my money I don't care whose names attached to it all i care is it's the absolute best performance i can get and since that's not really happening we're seeing something that we probably really haven't seen before ever in history where pipe actually supersedes reality and that's how it is so peace out I'm Miller you guys have a great day we've got a lot more stuff going up with Vega a lot of testing coming up with my friend Mark from out like I said battle tech reviews so we got a lot of stuff we're doing in conjunction with him we'll have a LinkedIn site down below if you want to check out his stuff he strictly does writing stuff Reister we do video so we're kind of a good combo and we got lots of stuff coming so stay tuned detector tomorrow peace
