It seems that the custom models by the manufacturers of the AMD RX Vega, would arrive at the earliest, in the month of November and not in September, as was said in the first instance.
The arrival of AMD's graphics cards this summer, firstly the AMD RX Vega 64 and later the AMD RX Vega 56, has not been exactly the best. These graphics cards have come with stock problems, consumption problems, performance deficits in gaming and mining. AMD has insisted that they are good for mining, which is completely false, since the price of these graphics cards is absurd and the calculation of the ROI in mining, refutes this claim.
Now the custom models need to arrive, in addition to the Silver Edition and Liquid Edition, of which there has hardly been stock. The custom models should have arrived by now, because they were scheduled for the first half of this month of September, but we are facing the last third of the month and there is no information about the RX Vega customized by the different AIBs of the company. The problem could be the height difference in millimeters between the GPU and the HBM2 memories of some manufactured models and it could also be the change of the GPU manufacturer and the final assembler of the GPUs.
It has begun to be rumored that the personalized Vega would not reach the market until the month of November and it is totally ruled out that any personalized Vega 64 will reach the market this month. We must emphasize at this point that absolutely nothing is known about the RX Vega Nano, that small model shown in the presentation of the Vega and that has disappeared from the map. Add to this the lack of data from the Raven Ridge APUs on their launch, which have Vega graphics and should arrive sometime between now and the end of the year, but we don't know when.

Will assemblers really get anything out of Vega? or they only showed the models to comply with the record. If the Vega reference prices are too high for the performance they have, I don't want to think about custom models, in my opinion they will eat them with potatoes, whether they are the reference or custom ones.
Well, I can't see it clearly, but Sapphire and XFX I suppose that if they took out custom models, because they don't work with NVIDIA. I refer to NVIDIA, because the Volta is expected to arrive in the first quarter of 2018, although there is no data on that, so some manufacturers could put aside the RX Vega and bet on Volta.
It is likely what you comment and that only the official patners have no choice but to remove the customized Vega. It was quite curious that Asus made the rewiew of their customized Vega 64 removed given the null improvement. On Nvidia I would bet on Pascal 2.0 and Volta Gaming would be saved for Q1 of 2019, they have no competition.
