im not sure about " mining" cards , but for gamers yes Smiley
 "Nevertheless, AMD is claiming that its Vega GPUs for gamers will be even faster than VEGA FRONTIER EDITION CARDS. Without any additional details, though, that claim remains unverified. These cards won’t show up until later in 2017, and so AMD has time to perfect the GPUs and bring down pricing to more affordable levels. When Vega does arrive, Nvidia will face the same kind of competitive pressure that Intel is facing from AMD’s Ryzen CPUs — and that’s good new for everyone who plans to be in the market soon for a new PC."

Bitcoin FTW!
These look a little expensive for mining like expected. Nice timing on AMD's side, letting the developers and designers get a premium card without miners scrambling for it. Perhaps a Vega mining card will also come out?

You're paying for 16GB of vram which is overkill for mining. I suspect the gaming cards will be more economically viable with <10GB of vram.

AMD Firepro price is close to this cards. I wonder what is the hashrate speed of AMD Firepro...

To get best speeds mining out of Fury X you have to use Firepro drivers so I suspect this won't do much better than a Fury X.

Anyone care to guess the speeds looking at the specs?

Looks like the Memory bus might give a nice boost to ETH speeds.

Liquid cooled version is crazy expensive at $1800 USD. The $1200 USD price is based in UK. It might be slightly cheaper in North America.

Saw this one coming -- will be interesting to see if these actually could be used for mining and turn a profit.
