Yep its ridiculous, and the Strix is £650
, you can get the gorgeous, faster Liquid cooled ref for only £600

Vega needs to be £450 to a be a success. AMD has Vega strategy all wrong.
It's a much better deal to buy a 1080.

Not if you already own a Freesync monitor it isn't

In fairness that might be because they're cards don't use 300W...Chill

Just pulled the trigger on the last remaining Gigabyte Vega 64 liquid. Tried to resist but couldn't
Are they reasonably plug and play? I'm looking forward to tweaking, but I'm going to be time poor in December.

Don't know what happened, said wouldn't have one and then bought the most expensive version.
In the spirit of The Son of Sam, the Labrador made me do it.
Welcome and on TROH.

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.

It was £450 on launch and a success for some of us
But yeah I know what you saying.

In Radeon Settings - select custom - increase power limit to +50%, increase fan RPM to anything over 2700RPM, increase HBM clock to 1050Mhz. You'll be able to push it a bit further than that but that will give you very close to peak performance and be completely stable.Just pulled the trigger on the last remaining Gigabyte Vega 64 liquid.

Do you guys think its worth getting ryzen 1700x or 1600x maybe to replace my 4690k? Not much point to use vega if my cpu will bottleneck it and wonder if ryzen is futureproof.

AMD state that they are supporting Ryzen on this platform until 2020. From there you might want to consider the motherboard entry cost, feature set (DDR4 speed support) and the OEM's reputation for BIOS updates. Either of those CPU's will pull well past a 4690 on anything MT and probably just in general.
What power supply?
Reseat Card
Connect two separate 8 pins from PSU to GPU
DDU to completely wipe out any existing drivres
New windows installation (download fully up to date version from Mircrosoft to save time updating)
Custom drivers install > clean install
Try in another system with a 700W+ GPU, if still not working, RMA
I'm sure I saw some screenshots somewhere of an FPS counter and other in-game displayed monitoring data like we see in Afterburner. Hmm where was that?...You are such a tease !
This is your chance to change the OC tool to Wattmatt, don't miss the opportunity
What new features ............ I wanna knowwwwwwwwwwwwwww

I don't know if this has already been posted but here's Gigabytes Vega,
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/gigabyte-rx-vega64-gaming-oc,36029.html
One to avoid in my opinion. Gigabyte seem to focus on Nvidia rather than AMD and often use insufficient components for AMD gpu's, We saw it with the RX 480 and I bought an RX560 from them which was awful. If I was buying a reference Vega Gigabyte would be an option due to the 3 year Warranty but it'll be interesting to see how well this performs (temp's & noise) in the real World.

750w bitfenix whisper!
Thanks running through the list now.
Does anyone else have a red light above where the power connectors are?
Yeh, that's called the GPU tachometer - it shows the load that the GPU is under. Pretty cool
You can flick a switch on the back of the card to make it blue if you prefer
