Like VEGA stock VEGA 7 uses a lot of power. Undervolt and it seems just like VEGA 64 it gains perforamnce at reduced power. Look at these numbers. Be interesting to hear user feedback.

I genuinly think imcompetence is the only reason they ‘Over volt’ the cards out the box. Under volting makes such an improvement and I haven’t heard of a detrimental case of under volting.The problem with that is AMD set the voltages for a reason.
And you can also under volte Turing and get a good reduction in power

I don’t think such comparisons are valid though, the average user is not going to be tweaking like that and there is no guarnatee that lower voltages would work.

While I agree for the most part, at the same time Vega got quite the following from people being able to under volt and with great success.
I expect Vega 7 to be no different.
Not quite sure why amd default with higher voltage it's not the first time either.

It gets a meh from me. Yesterday’s performance for today’s prices. On top of that it runs loud and it is on 7nm...Seen quite a few mixed opinions on this new card from forum users and some reviewers liking it and disliking it, so what does everyone here think?
Personally, I am on the fence because it is AMDs fastest gaming card ever and does have good performance. 16GB VRAM is a plus also but noise is meh! It looks a decent 4K card in truth but lower resolutions do kind of make me look at other cards. Price is fair in my opinion but an 8GB variant at £100 cheaper would have been sexy. If I was after a new GPU, would I have jumped on it? Probably not in truth but that doesn't make this a decent card. Overclocking needs looking at and if Roman couldn't do it, something is wrong there. Anyways, a good launch?
