Point taken for sure, but it gets MUCH worse when you consider that AMD insisted that Vega be compared against 1070 and 1080 FOUNDERS EDITION cards. You know, the cash-grab greedy Nvidia launch models with blower fans from early 2016? The ones with super slow clocks and throttle-heavy performance?
Compare Vega 64 to any reasonable modern 1080 card, and it's just a terrible comparison.
It's unfair perhaps, but to buyers that could find Vega 64 TODAY, your choice is OG 64 vs aftermarket 1080. No sane human being would consider a 1080FE in 2017. Hell, no sane person would consider a 1080FE in fall of 2016.
