Reception

The Age called it "sensational".[4]

Response was positive enough to lead to another revue, Trip-Tease and High C's.

gollark: Vega cards, IIRC, definitely ended up selling for substantially less for quite a while.
gollark: Is that even valid grammar?
gollark: I don't think those were the actual prices except quite soon after release, but I also don't really remember huge amounts of detail about the historic state of GPUs anyway.
gollark: Or, well, "best performance/usability for your intended range of tasks within your available budget".
gollark: I'm relatively sure those are differently priced.
