The RX Vega 64 Owners Thread

Moved the cousin down to make way: http://imgur.com/a/jhBio

Anyone know how to make unigine use the correct GPU?

Vega is *primary* in radeon settings...

If you're having an issue slecting the right GPU, have you considered pulling the cousin out of the motherboard and unplugging it's power? Not like it makes any diff to the WC loop if it's generating heat or not.

Imagine my sadness when I'm out of the country for another two weeks and my brother informs me vega has arrived with my new mouse and mat

Not gonna waste peoples time with more pics of the same card design, but this is what's in the Sapphire reference box:

Kinda lol TBH, looks like they were in a rush so just hacked up the sponge for another box then forgot to put any accessories in (no manual, no cables, not even a driver CD lol). Guess they're struggling to meet demand.

May have been tempted if it had been the aluminium version.

It actually wouldn't reboot with both in after the first boot (BSOD) so the RX480 is unplugged for now

Not sure wattman is actually changing voltages as temps aren't improving, 3200 rpm seems to be a sweet spot to avoid thermal throttling at stock core; cant be arsed OCing the core clock with this blower but got 1100 memory no problem!

Time for a few benches before putting it on low power until drivers/tools mature or I get a proper heatsink

Managed to secure one of the (relatively few?) discounted Sapphire reference models yesterday - thank Overclockers!

My RX 480 will get some rest on Thursday when the new card is due to be delivered (some delay at the courier's end, from what communications they have sent).

I'm working with engineering on reproducing this bug, i will likely file a ticket soon to get it fixed. Voltage control for Core/Memory not working when you select the Custom performance watt profile.

If you select Power Saving, voltage should drop by around 0.100mv to 1.1v. This may vary from GPU to GPU, but it should be roughly around that figure. Selecting Turbo, applying, then selecting Custom and adjusting Power Limit/Fan speed to suit should give you around 1.2v Vega 64.

Has anyone changed paste yet ** or is going to** for some Grizzlie or Liquid metal. Dont think i've ever used a GPU which I havent changed the thermal paste on .

definitely no point with the blower.

quick 3d mark firestrike after ensuring 1630 core was stable and a quick 1100 mem overclock: http://www.3dmark.com/fs/13364658

3d mark has no clue what frequency the card is running so all the journalism on vega leaks is even more funny now!

Just installing the driver now, feels like Christmas

I did it with my GTX 1080 Turbo an knocked off 7c at load before I went to water and on a few client builds where they wanted the cheapest card and sound wasnt an issue - guessing most of these will go under water at the £450 price tag

 

[schneeb]

yep waterblock is the plan here, I'll wait for drivers/tools to improve before trying anymore overclocking!

 

[mattyc123]

Is anyone having problems with their drivers?

I couldn't get into windows with my rx480 in the system too (after the first boot).

With all the bickering going on it's good to see someone happy and enjoying the card.

That's what it's all about.

Enjoy

Oh wow, wattman lets you adjust the memory!!!! I have been so missing that on my fury x. To many issues with afterburner....

I noticed the same too. Not even a cable! Some serious cut backs here!
