At the MSRP for this card it's not a super great deal, at $499. The Vega 56 at $399 is a great deal. It can match Vega 64 performance with OC/UV at a sub 1070 price. The only reason I'd recommend a Vega at the moment is for Freesync owners who need more horsepower. The simple fact of the matter is that the Vega cards are the fastest AMD has to offer. If you want to stick with Freesync, then you might need one. Or if you need them for compute, the compute performance on these is huge.
As for the price, it's above MSRP, which makes it an even worse deal. If you look at other retailers at the moment it sits on the more reasonable side of the current price gouging. It's still gouging though. If you're not sure if you need one of these, you probably don't. Go Nvidia or wait a few months for stock to stabilize.

SpamShadowFreesync is only really beneficial and noticeable when your card dips to lower frametrates. Like below 60. But for the price get a smoking fast 1080ti or even 1080 and you'll hardly tell it doesn't have freesync. Tons of videos out there showing this. I want one of these cards too, cause I want to support freesync and AMD, but I can't support the way they rolled it out with the temp MSRP like they did and supporting price gouging.
