seem they will be supporting cfx and most like 4 way also
people will cfx two of these like always

The AMD hatred and ignoring what a base Vega 56 is already doing to a regular GTX 1080, and Nvidia ***kissing on your part can be felt here.....An impressive skill indeed....
You mean the 99th percentile 1070 benchmarks? You're reaching and latching here just like you did with the hardware Canuck comment. What happens if august 14th doesn't paint the picture you've painted? Will you be able to avoid the breakdown you've shown here from the August 2nd reveal?

Thought amd said max 2 in CF. I wouldnt invest without knowing for sure it can work 4 way on 2 or 4 cards...
The one's where the average frame rates were 20 to 25 frames faster than a 1070, using 4 separate games at 1440p and putting the Vega 56 at 1080 levels of performance for 100$ less than said GTX1080........I'd call that a win, and if that dual thread feature in Vega 56 is hardly enabled, there could be plenty more left in the gas tank if you get my meaning.
There's already a discussion at tweaktown (who published those benchmarks). You may wish to read over that discussion as it's not as rosy as you think, considering a 1080 is still quite a bit faster than a 1070 than just 20 to 25 fps at 1440p depending on game, and those numbers may not even be average framerates.
So I'd recommend not jumping to conclusions like you've done before (which will likely just set you up for disappointment), just sit back and wait for actual reviews to show the whole picture, be whatever it is.
Maybe so, but add all the hardware enabled on Vega 64 water and it clocked 400 Mhz higher than Vega 56, and if I was a GTX1080TI, I'd be sweating fairly hard right about now........Barely faster than a regular GTX1080 in gaming like previous leaks suggested, are pretty much dead in the water, that much is sure......Reviews will give the exact figures in as many games as possible, not just cherry picked ones favouring one card or the other.
Just relax and wait for reviews shadow.. You do the same thing every product launch and haven't been right once.
Ha...name one where I was hyping something before seeing benchmarks...
It could be several reasons combined together really, as the more GPU's get powerful, the more we're seeing situations where we're becoming more and more CPU limited since demanding games that really use the latest technology take a long time to make ( years ), and we play console ports for the most part.....There hasn't been a PC only title in years.
As they get more powerful, the amount of traffic on the PCI-e bus also increases too, perhaps finally really requiring X16 slots but even the highest end platforms ( up until thread ripper ), have no more than 40 lanes, so that's no more than 2 cards operating at PCI-e X16......Nvidia's released the HD bridge for a reason in the pascal series to allow proper scaling after all.
Effects using 3 cards ( or more ), would have to be so hugely demanding that developers actually having the opportunity to design something that demanding in a game isn't happening just for the PC platform, and too demanding so it can't be run on a console.
Nvidia should be sweating why? They've had a over a year to reign supreme with no competition. So far the only official numbers we've seen have the Vega competing with the reference 1080. Now we have rumors that it MAY be better than that. I hardly think Nvidia is sweating at this point. Maybe in a week they will be, but as of now, I think they're probably feeling pretty good.

There's plenty of PC only titles. I only have 8 games installed atm, 4 of them are PC only.
Just about every product release.
I'm just saying I don't think AMD would have mentioned 1080 performance if it curb stomped it. Don't set yourself up for disappointment.

Or AMD sandbagging on purpose?........There's no way a Vega 56 should be getting GTX1080 performance in any title and at any setting like those tweaktown results if the highest end Vega 64 with all hardware enabled and clocked 400Mhz faster barely beats a GTX1080......
Anyhow I got bigger problems, since I've finally discovered I got a very slow water leak in the GPU loop, and will have to open the system up to see what's up, but have been wanting to change cases for a while now, and since it seems i'm " limited" to 2 cards on either Nvidia or AMD, I've had my eye on this lovely corsair for a while now:
500$ Canadian shipped, and already ordered....

I don't think it's the tubes or fittings, but feel the odd drip in the reservoir / pump assembly itself coming from the inside and it leaves dry water traces on the bottom of the case so it's an extremely slow leak, so it'd have to take it apart to see....
But the main thing is that since the heat load by having just 2 GPU's and a single CPU to deal with is no where near requiring having such a large case with an i **** you not 5 radiators inside and 2 power supplies.....There's 3 radiators for the GPU loop alone because of the 4 cards inside.....Entire system weighs well over 100 lbs once full with water, but the point is the more parts in said loop, the more the chances of a leak eventually happening, though it's been solid for the last 4 years with no issues.....It was bound to happen, even if it's minimal....
So the 900D has ample room for a nice radiator up top for the CPU, can handle a pair of power supplies while still having room for a pair of 360mm rads, all of which I already own and only have to deal with 2 cards anyhow.... One 1200 watt PSU deals with the pair of GPU's so no matter how much power they draw it's pretty irrelevant, and the other 1200 watt powers the rest of the system including the near 200 watt TDP of thread ripper by itself....
Plenty of room for storage and one of those nice round reservoirs along with space for the pumps aplenty.....Hardly do better, case wise layout wise and looks nice too.
Don't crush his dreams.....
Edit: so the issue is simply that of current drivers for 3 way crossfire?.......Might slap a 3rd card later once the drivers can detect it after all.
That isn't likely to happen with the release drivers is it?
Don't crush his dreams.....
The only dream that is set up to be crushed is yours. You're expecting 1080Ti performance levels from Rx Vega when AMD themselves stated it only trades blows with a 1080. Now you're hyping off of comparisons with a.... 1070.
One of us will be eating crow on August 14th, I wonder who it will be?

You do realize that @MD_guy actually has Vega cards for the last few days right?......He's not talking without having any clue you know?
Just removing the possibility of you being very selective and only paying attention to posts that suit you....
