Quite a difference in performance in GTA V.

GTA V has always done well on nVidia GPUs when "properly" benchmarked (1-2 people magically show very different results) the old Kepler cards do very well still in it - I think due to being able to power through rendering a lot of primitive objects (which GTA V has a lot of in background imposters, etc.) while more recent GPUs have been more focused on shader throughput, etc.

Awesome, I prefer "blower-style" anyway, my real question is though, no bsing around, will my EVGA G2 650W really struggle to run a RX VEGA GPU?

Depends on how much Tiled rasterisation drops power usage if it is not enabled at the moment. And if RX drivers launch with it fully enabled for the majority of software.
 
are these liquid coolers much better at removing heat than the air coolers?

I dont seem too fond of liquid cooling like this anyway, i can understand a separate custom loop but one actually built into the
card? do you have to change the coolant and pump eventually i assume?

They can cool far better, you can also set the up to directly kick heat out of the case. The pumps will fail eventually but they are factory sealed and don't need refilling.

Gamer Nexus use an off the shelf AIO and modded it into the Frontier Edition, 1700Mhz core 1100Mhz HBM2, stable, and topped at 49 degrees, and FETs at 65 degrees.

That's up from an average 1440Mhz core, 950Mhz HBM2, and 84 degrees core on reference blower.

Welp so no Vega for me after all. Only have a Seasonic 650W golḍ rated PSU. Guess its time to wait for Volta.

I'm sure you'll be fine as I ran a overclocked 2500k and a 4670k with a tri-x 290 on a Seasonic 500w psu. Sapphire page recommends a 750w psu.

Oooh that reminds me I forgot to watch the follow up to that video.

EDIT: Have they published results? the video I watched only had the build side no testing.

I know you're not bothered, you game on a 6-year old card ffs!!! :p

Haha. Yep. It runs everything I throw at it (that I am currently interested in playing) :p

Nothing even on the horizon that I want to play that needs the graphics power. Next one I think might be Resident Evil 2 Remake.
