Why didnt AMD just make a die shrink of it for the RX480?

Because they're idiots and that's what vega will be.

Toppest kek and unfortunely truest as well

I ended up giving it back on a 14-day purchase return, citing noise. I think it had the potential to be an excellent card had AMD thought about a 2-fan version with heatsink sticking out a bit beyond the pcb -- still small enough but better cooled.

But AMD is fucking based so they do things hot and hard.

Fury was a failure, and there's no way they could have made a shrunk version at $200.
