The RX Vega 64 Owners Thread

[Nemesis.ie]

Sweet. Is this something that other engines can use and benefit from is the question?

 

[Bonjour]

My energy monitor is only showing ~450W being pulled during Timespy.

Admittedly I'm not bothering to overclock my Vega 64 and my PSU is 1200W 80Plus Gold rated.

Yes!

Every game can use it. It's down to developer as well distributor's ambitions vs. invested man-hour. But benefits are great especially for consoles - both of them.

EDIT

IMGUR is not working properly for me. I can upload but there is no link to share/embed the IMG link as there is usually. Using the OcuK upload feature, hopefully that is not a breach of protocol.

I think that's the best way to go what with the air coolers having the newer revision chips. If the AIB models aren't on the C1 revision I may do this myself. I've never built a WC loop so it may the the time to try.

Forza 7 looking good for AMD & Vega 64, thanks to instruction prefetching.

Same tech as used in Dirt 4.

Great results let's hope it's use becomes more common and Nvidia don't throw a spanner into the works with every opportunity.

Does anyone have TWW2 with Vega 64 to drop some numbers here at 2560x1440 2x AA, all on Ultra with reflective metals ON?

 

[Nemesis.ie]

It looks like fun, but too much for me at the moment for €60 and I can't game properly at the moment until I get my eye surgery done either.

Either Nvidia are going to complain to the dev studios to patch in a plethora of Gameworks or Nvidia are going to release Volta a lot earlier because a competitor beats them.

This may have something to do with the announcement of a 1070Ti inbound ...

This really dose show the potential of the vega architecture, with a bit of luck, more devs follow suit and we start to see these cards stretching their legs more. Additionally a lineup of smaller vega cards to replace the 5xx series, and a set of APUs, will go some way to giving game devs more impetus to implement this sort of optimization. Until gameworks shows up I guess.

If a 1080 Ti is beaten by a Vega 64 in that game then the cut down 1080 *non Ti* 1070 Ti is just there to grab headlines and peoples attention IMO as it won't perform as well as a 1080 but close.

all to busy bashing each other in the nvidia driver thread lol

 

[TheRealDeal]

Where the haters now?

I did check out the 4k results. The 1080ti was 8% faster but Vega still led the 1080. It would seem the ti might even be more powerful than Vega even when the AMD card is being fully utilized. There might be more from Vega though as i feel there is probably even more untapped potential in there. I would say with 100% certainty if developers got every bit they could from Vega it would show up much better towards a ti and leave the 1080 behind. Could it ever do this to a ti i very much doubt it. Wouldn't touch a 1080 over Vega tbh even with the power deficiency. Vega will pull away from it and should be more relevant if wanting to keep it a year or 2. For a lot this won't be the case but just my way off thinking.

Deserves a thread on its own based on the tech.

Forza 7 works so well is because the dev gave their best to enable 4K60fps on XB1X. XB1X is essentially 40CU Polaris, devs used all of the GCN perks and DX12 kernel optimizations. Dev is an "exclusive studio" they have top notch brain power and Microsoft's budget dedication. They also don't need to offload Windows 10 porting on a 3rd party that might use GameWorks and NV money that goes along with it (RotTR is the best example! - superior compute optimised AO on XB1, and GameWorks HBAO+ on PC port that actually used XB360 codebase!

To get on the Roll of Honour all you have to do is post a pic with your user name on it of your Vega 64.

Got a 3d printer and wondered if the vega tachometer could be improved on, looks pretty good in person - stupid phone camera cant do low light through the case window!


need to figure out how to blank off the bottom section then it should look perfect!
