Website elchapuzasinformatico in the past has been pretty spot on with information that should not be out there. This round they apparently stumbled into three Sapphire Radeon RX Vega cards.

From what we can derrive from the information, there will be two cooling solutions for Vega cards, liquid (LCS) and obviously air-cooled ones. Sapphire seems to be releasing three models:

  • SAPPHIRE RADEON RX VEGA 64 8G HBM2 HDMI + TRIPLE DP, LIQUID COOLING 2048-bits - Water Cooler
  • SAPPHIRE RADEON RX VEGA 64 8G HBM2 HDMI + TRIPLE DP LIMITED EDITION 2048-bit - 2 slot active
  • SAPPHIRE RADEON RX VEGA 64 8G HBM2 HDMI + TRIPLE DP 2048-bit - 2 slot active
There is more info though, El Chapuzas mentions a 699 Euro and 899 Euro pricing in-between the cheapest and that liquid cooled edition. That would be ex VAT here in the EU with prices roughly similar in USD.

Source 2: https://elchapuzasinformatico.com/2017/07/exclusiva-precio-amd-radeon-rx-vega/

Already an update to this thread, seems to be another model that was listed @ €1155 and it was the Watercooled version:

Completely off topic but since i am a mexican i am compelled to explain what the "elchapuzasinformatico" means in spanish.

A chapuza is something like a trick, like when you fool someone. So the website name would translate into something like "thecomputertrickster".

Why did those guys chose that name i don't know but i always find it funny.

My two cents...

Seems like it's going to be more expensive than I was wanting...

i read this article earlier, im surprised it just made it to OCN. AMD is doing exactly what nvidia did from gtx 280 to titan, but without any decisive lead. this is their bump in performance w a cost at wattage/efficiency in an attempt to match the competition, LTT did two vids on a decade of GPUs from the red and the green team. AMD is pushing freesync which is anywhere from $300-$600 difference vs Gsync.

personally i feel like regardless of the price they will still sell out of the cards for a week or so, and then we'll see a dramatic adjustment in GPU pricing

This pricing is awfully close to 16 GB FE air cooled model...

A) This an early adoption tax due to supply limitations
B) Price inflation due to mining
C) AMD has lost their collective minds
D) All of the above

Hasn't the demand for mining dropped off a ton? Profits are way down compared to a month ago, and there's a good chance you won't hit a roi unless your betting the price of eth taking off. And even then you would just be better off buying the coins vs building a rig. whattomine shows a 6 gpu rx480 rig making around $10/day before electricity, Unless I'm missing something I can't see miners lining up to snag these up a those prices.

I'm not sure why people are expecting Vega to be a miner card.
It has terrible power efficiency, price to performance likely won't be great, Eth mining (and crypto in general as of late) isn't as profitable as it was.

Used GPU prices have dropped considerably as well, which would indicate a decrease in demand from miners.

AdoredTV did predict that the Vega GPU launch was going to be the worst in history, I'm pretty surprised to see it looks to actually be that way.

With all the scalpers re-selling cards at inflated prices maybe AMD just decided they would charge the scalper price themselves and cut out the middleman.

Hmm,that pricing doesn't really make any sense,if true...

I'll still be waiting for user benchmarks and stuff , but a 1080 performance for almost a 1080ti price really doesn't make sense at all..

Don't know if AMD feels that bad publicity is good publicity,regarding the Vega launch ,but as things and rumours stand ,I can't see Vega being the gpu that rocks the waters of the gpu scene like AMD intended

if those prices are real Vega is already dead

It's like AMD has lost thier minds and trolled those who have been waiting patiently for Vega even after all its disappointment
If this is true then it's still a million times better than bulldozer, it will still beat all of their previous cards and compete in terms of performance in the high end

This is either gouging to take advantage of early adopters or a bet that there will be a major enough supply constraint to justify them. I certainly wouldn't spend this much and there is no MSRP is anywhere near these figures.

I bought one during their first sale for $260 from Newegg. Was still a dubious value, but was fun to play with.
