The 5700 costs almost $100 more than the Vega 56 while being just a few % faster. The price:performance ratio on the new lineup of graphic cards is worse than the previous generation...
"Abysmal" in what way? Enthusiast sites often confuse sufficient cooling with under-cooling. Cooling becomes more efficient when there's a high temperature differential. So engineers set up fan control so it only _really_ begins to kick in when the chip reaches 80C or thereabouts. Enthusiasts often confuse this with insufficient cooling. The chips themselves, however, don't really mind.
I don't know much I trust GN anymore. Used to be the first site I'd read reviews from, now I actively avoid it. Steve just seems to want to draw attention for the most minor things (be it against Intel or AMD). He's the boy that always cries wolf, so I really don't trust his objectiveness anymore.
