My next system will have Vega, though probably the 56 version. The problem here is that a lot of people jumped on Vega right away, because, despite its tepid game performance, it is a value for a lot of other tasks. For professional work it acts like a $4000 Quadro. For mining, with a few tweaks, it will be efficient. For AI and deep learning it is in a class all of its own.
As with Ryzen, just because it isn't balls to the wall gaming, doesn't mean it isn't a good product. AMD has done a commendable job lately making 'jack of all trades' hardware. It saves them money and gives the consumers a single product stack to look at and decide where they want to be. On top of that, performance per dollar has been outstanding, not for gaming but for productivity. In the end we should be happy that products designed to gain market in professional spaces provide decent gaming capability as well. As long as AMD is in the game, we all win.
