If they went Asetek directly again we'll have a quality AIO on there. The one used on the 295X2 was a beast considering it only had a single radiator.

I hope they learnt their lesson with Coolermaster; who even got sued and lost after Asetek went after them for patent infringement on their pump used on the Fury X.

Was annoying they tried to pimp the fury x as a "premium" product and went cheap on one of the most important aspects of it. :mad: As said the 295x2 cooler had none of the issues of the fury x version due to it being a tried and tested design. If you compare the internals of the fury x to the pro duo, the pro duo's setup make the fury x's look like it was some kind of amateur mod.
 
I guess my biggest concern is the ROP count. It was evident retaining the rop count for fury and fury x meant performance didn't scale as well as it should have done. In some benchmarks the 390x was within 5% of the Fury which should never have been the case

I just hope they didn't go cheap on the watercooler like they did with the fury x. Despite all amd's waffle the pump noise issue was never resolved, it was purely down to luck if you got one that did it or not. I had a couple bought new for builds close to a year after launch and both still did it.

Should water make a lot of noise if it has no air in there, its either that simple or really poor design.

Not going to pre order any Vega card.

I will wait until I know all the options and how they perform first.

I'd pre order if it was allowed in bitcoin, then I can write off some of the risk from that and the present weak sterling is a positive

Seen the price difference of the "pro" edition cards between air and water-cooled? £600 :eek:

I'm hoping Rx is half the business prices of Frontier Vega. .

Liquid cooler will be the ones with LED on the boxes I guess, the bling collectors edition. Are these cards going to really run that hot. 7nm does sound good but Navi isnt next year is it

It wasn't that it had a water sound, it was more to do with the pump having an annoying high pitched whine sound. Was just one of those sounds where as soon as you notice it, its always there in the background.

 
if not 1500mhz, then what will we be looking at? Would GTX 1080 +10% be good enough? Also, 8gb HBM.... for a flagship GPU? Sorry, just throwing things out there for discussion :p

Heh, that would be blue and black?

I'm puzzled why a Professional card would have LEDs?

Probably more cost efficient to keep the design the same for pro and gamer cards rather than having to alter the shroud for either line.

Just noticed this on pc per

Before you pre-order, however, there’s one big caveat. Although AMD touts the card as ideal for “innovators, creators, and pioneers of the world,” the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition will lack application certification, a factor that is crucial to many who work with content creation software and something typically found in high-end professional GPUs like the Quadro and FirePro lines.

For those hoping for Vega-based professional cards sporting certification, the Vega Frontier Edition product page teases the launch of the Vega-powered Radeon Pro WX in Q3 2017.

So would that make these pretty much amd's equivalent of the nvidia titan cards? Supposedly "not for gaming" but at the same time...for gaming.

Good find, that is pretty worrying and it now makes sense that these were benchmarked with gaming drivers.


These are Titan equivalent.
