I retired my Vega 64 like 4 months ago and I miss it, still a decent card, it was pulling average 50 fps on CP2077 with all settings maxed out at 1080p.
I really wish we had more consumer cards with HBM-based VRAM, 'cause latency wise + throughput, that thing slays hard.
HBM is super expensive. The whole Vega was just a disqualified computational card sold as a gamer thing.
I am 100% aware of that, it's why i got it used back in 2020 for 230 euros to upgrade from a 1060 6GB.
So did i had value in a RX580. Watercooled, OC'ed to 1680Mhz and what more. But it was not sufficient anymore so i bought a replacement, a 6700XT. 150% faster at the same power levels. And in 2 years you'll have another good replacement for that.
