I am using Vega 64 LC now, i want to update to Radeon VII, is it worth it?
Anyone update to Radeon VII from V64 LC?
I'm going from a Sapphire Vega 64 (daily settings 1677mhz@1120mv, 1100Mhz HBM) with EKWB block to Radeon VII. I'm waiting on the block for VII before it goes into my 4K system that is used to game exclusively on a 55" 4K TV.
Going from a Vega Liquid if I where you I'd want a liquid VII too. The 4K uplifts are looking very good even on the early drivers. (all the reviews are out of the windows with yesterdays driver really)
I personally didn't buy this card for its air cooler as nice as it looks. I stopped using air cooled cards with my R9 290 (R9 295x2 and Vega 64 then followed)
The one big advantage VII would bring you is the wattage saving, as Liquid 64 uses a crazy 1250mv and a boat load of power with it.
So to sum up, i think you have less to gain unless you where to go from Liquid to an open loop VII. (which OCUK may well offer for sale as a pre built card when blocks are in stock, if you didn't feel confident in doing it yourself)
Now 19.2.2 is out, check out youtube, updated reviews ect on games you play to get a better grip on what uplift you are now likely to get with this vastly improved driver.
