I mean, for me, Ryzen already knocked it out of the park.. I have no faith in them doing it twice, so quickly.

For me Ryzen was everything I expected. It allowed for AMD to play catch up to Intel, but not beat them. At a lower price.
More still needs to be done before we can say they knocked it out of the Park though, some high-end motherboards and chipsets would be nice.

I'm not very optimistic about Vega either, I expect it to perform between the GTX 1070 and the 1080, but you never know.

It's always worth keeping an eye on it, just in case.

I'm thinking in between the 1080 and 1080Ti from the information (Which would probably be outdated by now) that I have gleaned.
Vega should show it's true colours at high resolutions and Async Compute scenarios though.

I wish I was that optimistic. So far, we've only seen Vega demoed using Doom at CES at 4K, and it was roughly on par with a GTX 1080. Given that Doom was using Vulkan (iirc) and that AMD performs better than Nvidia in DX12 and Vulkan, I'm affraid that Vega will fall short of the 1080 in most cases.

By the way, have you heard the news of Vega having 4 & 8GB versions, or the news of new AMD CPUs with 12 and 16 cores, paired with newer chips (X390)?
