Reviewers: make sure to test mining performance of these cards. Not that we care about that, but to give us an idea of whether it'll be possible to actually buy these things.
AMD should just run their own mining rig at this point. Create a large multisocket board and plug all those GPUs in for a week of 'burn in' mining coins before shipping them out.
But will it work, or will miners gladly pay the extra $100? AMD would love that -- miners won't redeem the games or the discounts, so that extra $100 is pure profit.
Is that how those bundles work? AMD only pays when the game gets activated/redeemed? I always thought they just buy a bunch of game licenses and pay upfront.
Miners might want to sell the games/discounts to recoup their losses. After all, if you get a $50 discount on a $200 monitor then you can just re-sell it new for $200 and get your money back.
Which is US only. The only reason to buy was the bundle, which is a good deal. Same performance as 1080 at the same price with double the TDP and will have limited stock. There is no reason to buy Vega as a gamer.
