Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
I've been using mine as a general purpose card, but it's powerful enough to let me mine Zcash and watch HD videos at the same time. $500 is a lot of money for this card and I doubt I'd consider paying more, knowing what I do now. I think the stock fan is a bit raspy, but certainly not to the point where I'd take a star off. It'll let you know it's running if you push it though. For the vast majority of games out there this one will rise to the occasion and not even breathe too hard. I can't compare it to a Nvidia of the same price point because I've never owned one. If water cooling is your game, you probably already know that these don't have near the support as Nvidia cards do. That may change in 2018, I dunno. You won't regret buying this card as long as you don't let the gougers get you and pay more than it's worth.
Note: I bought this card at $460. I wouldn't recommend it at the demand-inflated $500+ prices.
Card works great.
Had a bit of issue with the drivers at first, but everything is fine since I got that sorted out.
I got this card to replace a GTX 1070 FE that I passed down to my dad, and I decided to go with the AMD just out of curiosity / to support competition in the market. The Vega gives me slightly better frame rates on most of what I play, but it makes a little more noise.
Overall no regrets. Glad AMD has a competitive product now.
