Should I get the RX Vega 64 or GTX 1080?

Obviously, if AMD messed with the memory, like they did with RX 470 having worse memory, the gap will be more significant. All we can do is wait now, but I hope Vega 56 turns out to be epic

Of course. Because you introduce a bottleneck into the pipeline which is the point I am trying to convey.

With that. Vega has arrived. And looking at Anandtechs benchmarks, the performance delta is a good 10-20% different between Vega 56 and Vega 64.

Instead of conveying some message, focus more on reading. I've made the remark about crippled memory numerous times, including in the very first sentence I wrote in this thread.

From what I've learned thus far, most probably memory itself is fine, but AMD has bloked voltage in the BIOS, thus artificially pulling the card back. Even flashing BIOS isn't working as of yet This is exactly in line with what I've written. There's no real bottleneck, just an artificial, arbitrary muzzle on the card. I hope non-reference cards will ship with modified BIOS, that will allow to overclock it to the card's fullest. Should manufacturers do that, we'll see performance I was talking about. I mean, in the link you've provided the difference ranges from 3% to 15%, depending on game and resolution. All that without overclocking to match the clocks (I assume). This is very promising, but we need to get by that stupid BIOS.
