And why is this important? Same reason it was after last month's large drop, AMD touts Vega specific features, but with that usage share, what incentive to developers have to use them? Decidedly not good news with the GTX 1070 Ti taking on Vega 56, with performance nudging the 1080. It's also not good for consumers either, as AMD is enabling prices to stay high.
A quick look at the prices shows why. The RX 580 is still $40 higher than launch price (thank you cryptominers), and $20 more expensive than the same power GTX 1060
And Vega 64 reference is still more expensive than the GTX 1080 custom, which pulls half the power.
Actually, you can pick up an 8 Gb RX 580 for $279.00. While still $10 more expensive than a GTX 1060 and more power hungry, it isn't a horrible deal.
Also Vega 64 has fallen back to it's MSRP of $499.
But the numbers don't lie. I think a lot of gamers were waiting to see what Vega brought to the table before purchasing new hardware. It seems they now have decided they didn't like what they saw, either due to the performance, or the massive price inflation that has lasted since Vega's launch.
With the numbers coming back to parity in time for the holiday season and the threat of Volta pushed into 2018, those numbers may shift back the other direction before the year is out.
