RX VEGA AIB Cards Information Needed?

Only because the reference hsf is so bad. Hell even undervolted to control the temps a bit better they boost to the proper 1600 or close to it.

It may well be but that's the performance we are seeing in reviews. There is plenty on tap with decent cooling due to this so here is hoping these big beefy coolers can at least give air users enough cooling power to unlock the potential unlike the stock cooler.

Buying a reference board and adding an AiO is def the way to go imo. AMD are shocking when it comes to reference cooling.
 
any higher and they will be pricing into what you can get the aio for. was on sale at £615 recently. what you thinking price wise?

Well stock Vega boosts around 1420 average. Guys in here have them up to 1800mhz under water. That's more room than pretty much anything Nvidia has on the market atm. I doubt any air cooler is getting you there but in theory these boards could be good for LN2 and the likes or even water. I doubt it's there just for show. Could just be some marketing gimmick though.

AMD say default boost is 1546 (https://gaming.radeon.com/en/product/vega/radeon-rx-vega-64/)
Nvidia says 1080Ti boost clock is 1582 (https://www.geforce.co.uk/hardware/10series/geforce-gtx-1080-ti/)

Although I guess what's more important is what clocks reviewers are getting for both cards when they do their benchmarks. I can't say I've paid much attention to see if they publish the clocks of the card they're reviewing and the cards they're comparing it against.

It'll be interesting to see if the AIB cards are able to score better by clocking better because of better cooling. I doubt they'll match the AIO Vega 64s but you might get decent gains from slightly better cooling (with a better noise profile).

Most founders will boost around 1750-1800. Nvidia way over underestimate boost clocks and AMD are the opposite. Watching video reviews at stock the core is usually in the low 1400's but does bounce up into the 1500's. By simply increasing power limit you get a decent boost. Hopefully these coolers will keep it steady in the 1500's and allow overclocking without having to blow your ears off.
 
Don’t forget the Asus Strix Cooler managed diddly squat and that was a good cooler. Ok it helped with noise but not performance.

Isn't it because the gpu is heavily power limited.? So to increase boost clocks you need both more power and better cooling.

I'd forgot about that, wasn't it even slower than a ref card due to silicon lottery? So not expecting much in the way of gains then, other than lower noise.
