Should buy this at $100 over MSRP or should I wait.? null

Hey mike. It's now December and the prices are higher. I seen one brand new for 2k. Think that is a better deal?

This doesn't include the 2 free games. Best buy is not participating in the promotion from AMD. ALL Vega's are now supposed to include the 2 free games not just the packs. I would refuse to buy this product until Best Buy at least participates. A link direct to AMD promotion is here, if they allow links posted, https://gaming.radeon.com/en/rxvega/ .

Mike, it's Feb 2018. The prices are still outrageously through the roof. Still good idea to wait?

This card is at least 100 over MSRP. So at this price point it's not worth buying. It will hash at 1900h/s at 130watts on cryptonight. The people complaining about miners likely can't afford this cards anyway. I'd love for this card to come down to around $500. An 8 card rig of 56s would be a monster.

Yes, if it includes the 2 games that’s MSRP for the Radeon Red Pack.

If you really need the GPU card now, go ahead and buy it. To limit your losses, because this is $100 over MSRP, you should consider selling the bundled games on Ebay for about $50.00. That brings down the cost of the GPU card to $450. At $450, that is the BEST price you can get the Vega 56 for right now. I dont believe it will go to $399 ever again since that was a limited time offer. So, to answer your question and if there is a need for the Vega 56 right now, I say go ahead and do it because the prices will just go up because of the crypto miners demand for these GPU cards. BTW - thats what I did with my Vega 56 purchase. I bought the bundle and sold the games on ebay.

Better to wait. Some stupid miners are just buying it by reading some misleading news saying that this card has a hashrate ~100m. Actually, that's not true and not even close. And think about it, if ethereum mining is really that good, why those re sellers are doing price gouging instead of mining ethereum? 30 days later, the price will go back down as people are returning the cards. So if you think waiting for 20 days for $100+ cheaper doesn't worth it, then go buy it.
