I got mine for $450 (Slightly over MSRP of $399). For that price it's a great card! Haven't had any issues with noise or temps

The site is very misleading. Currently it shows:
Special Offers
Wolfenstein II and Prey Free with Vega
I purchased this thinking it would be eligible for this promotion, offsetting the extra cost of the card. It is not.
http://xfxforce.com/en-us/Promotions/BestBuy
"Qualifying XFX AMD parts:
XFX AMD Radeon™ RX-VEGMXWFXW, RX-VEGMTSFX6, RX-VEGMTBFX6"
The Vega 56 model is RX-VEGMLBFX6, and after registering at XFX's website, it is indeed, not eligible for this promotion.
Kinda disappointed.
So, if you're looking to buy this and get the games or sell the games to offset the overpricing of the card, look elsewhere.

This thing is great for performance, runs like a charm, but is a really big drain on power so get a large PSU.

It runs about the same frame rates as a GTX 1070 and does a fantastic job with specific mining algorithms. It does particularly well with Monero.

Works exactly as expected. No issues with install or drivers. Only issue is inflated price point.

Good for old games, great for new releases

Performs on par with 1070 in older titles.
Outperforms 1080 in new titles such as Forza, Wolfenstein 2, Prey, Sniper Ellite, etc.
Does not beat 1080ti in any title tested but does come close in a few.
Framerate aside, new games feel buttery smooth. Even with higher FPS on 1080ti, Vega 56, not even the 64, just feels smoother.
I mostly game on 1080ti rig for older titles. For some reason, older games don't like Vega 56 that much. However, new Triple AAA titles have to be played on Vega.
Disclaimer: my household has a 1070, 1080, 1080ti, and Vega 56 rig. This is my first AMD card. Was disappointed at first, but now it's my preferred card.
Assassin's creed origins runs like poo no matter what card you use. Better off playing on console.

This card is NOT being price gouged, this is a pack, other people are not looking at amd’s website to learn about a product they want to buy, this a radeon pack, it includes prey and wolfenstein ii for free and hundreds of us dollars in discounts on motherboards, cpus, and monitors

This card is beautiful. Its the flag-ship top of the line card made by AMD and you cannot ask for better. Anyone who says otherwise needs to reinstall their drivers. PUBG Here i come!

More than a GTX 1080 and few in stock, I urge people to stop supporting AMD and their Inferior products. It uses more power the the cheaper GTX 1070.
