The RX 64 is a $500 card.

If a $500 card is roughly the same as a 1080 (currently $550), I think that's fair.

The $700 liquid-cooled Vega should overclock better, but I have my doubts for its efficiency. Overclocking isn't very good for heat and noise and reliability.

The $900 mark was also for a card that is not stock. I was talking about ASUS Strix version which is after-market with 3 coolers.

Water cooling is pretty effective at fixing heat and noise problems, and heat is one of the big factors in reliability too.
