D.P. is an alleged "fan of technology" but just about everything he posts has an anti amd spin to it while "bigging up" Nvidia where ever possible. Got tiring years ago.

Imho TDP means nothing. Look at the 7900X. 140W TDP and the damn thing burns more than 400W when stressed and overclocked (4.5-4.7).
While the 6950X, with same 140W TDP, overclocked (4.2-4.3) and stressed doesn't burn more than 180W.

And given how often we change GPUs, power consumption over long term is pointless. Next year we be replacing it, worst case in 2 years.

More about power supply requirements - I can see a Vega 56 being able to run in systems which an RX580 can but not a Vega 64 water cooled edition.

It also indicates to me that the HBM2 also being pushed clockspeedwise in the Vega 64 is probably not helping either - the Vega 56 has lower clocked RAM.
 
I for one do hope Vega isn't as juicy as feared as at the moment I'm one of the few that would need to upgrade my PSU. If they are then I'll probably stick with what I've got until the ##70 Volta next year as it's almost bound to need less power than Vega and although I can afford to upgrade my PSU I'm reluctant to do so when there's nothing wrong with it.

Invested on a £110 (back then) 1000W platinum Superflower 3 years ago, to power the 295X2. Not regretting it nor scared about the Vega 64 consumption. :)
Best investment ever.

I'm looking at the 27. My only quibble is the monitor will stick out a lot. I don't have that much room from the wall facing me, so the monitor looks like it might be very much in your face.


Video says that HDR is broken in Win 10 currently?

The stand is ridiculous to be fair, luckily it just about fits on my desk. Yes HDR is very much broken in windows 10 haha, i didn't realise this when i first turned it on so I had a mild panic thinking I had a dud monitor until I did my research.

Yea. The stand could end up being a no go. But how do you find the monitor in general?

The 32 inch monitor is great :D

Indeed. 2560x1440 seems right to me as res goes. But 27" many games suffer from scaling. CK2, EU4, Stellaris, CIV, PoE. 32" seems great.

Because I didn't followed the discussion, is it one of the monitors we might get vouchers for with our Vega bundles, or only the CF791?

TDP is heat right, this Vega isnt going to run that cool apparently. I will be making some kind of CAI like they use on turbos :p if its really going to help performance/noise I'll have the motivation to do that. I think Vega is probably an ok stepping stone to Navi, dont really want to go liquid etc
If they do develop all the features and the HBCC works I can see people keeping them for years not just two

Power consumption does matter but maybe not as much as depreciation and actual performance

Want to see how Vega does on this engine

The reason is AMD with their dirty marketing tricks have been trying to compare the Vega FE against the TitanXP in professional software, in order to justify the Vega FE's price. This is just ridiculous because the Titan has never been marketed for use with porfesional software, Nvidia explicitly market quadro cards for this purpose. A $800 quadro beats the Vega FE in professional software, AMD were just using the wrong cards and wrong drivers.

Almost 700% price cut for Quadro P6000, not bad Nvidia, not bad...
