Since the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition is already available, we had a good idea of what the gaming-oriented models would look like leading up to AMD's embargoed briefing. Radeon RX Vega 64 Specifications: Something For Everyone Add-in board partners are expected to follow AMD’s reference designs with their own interpretations toward the end of Q3 or beginning of Q4. However, representatives later clarified that they’d be extended for longer. Originally, AMD said its Radeon Packs would be available through August. Given how much extra miners are willing to pay for mid-range Radeon RX cards, however, we don't see a $100 or $200 premium discouraging that community from spending extra on a Radeon Pack if Vega's hash rates come to warrant the “investment” at some point. Conceptually, this is meant to discourage cryptocurrency miners who have no interest in variable refresh monitors, Ryzen 7-based platforms, or free games. You pay more for your card of choice and have the option to save on gaming-oriented components at the same time.

The Radeon Packs aren't coupons you can redeem later. Meanwhile, the $500 Red Pack substitutes in a Radeon RX Vega 56.
RX 480 FP64 PLUS
AMD's Aqua Pack jumps to $700, getting you the liquid-cooled card plus those discounts and bundled games.
