RX VEGA AIB Cards Information Needed?

Looks nice. Power connectors in the middle look a little strange, guess it's just because I'm used to seeing them at the end. Shame the launch has been such a farce, I think decent aib vega 56s would have flown off the shelf if they were available nearer launch and for a resonable price.

Aha, they say the power connectors in the middle are where the board ends.

So the board is tiny and the cooler extends hugely further and sideways to pack in the heatsink and double large fans.

If they follow Sapphires Fury Tri-x design and leave the end of the heatsink un-covered so air can be pushed through a lot easier they're on to a good thing.
With the Fury Pro the reference card was the mustard coloured Sapphire tri-x and it was both cooler and quieter than the Asus Fury pro which had a full length custom board and backplate.

Had the Sapphire Fury, was excellent and quite quiet and cool running I thought :cool:

2 (assuming it wasn't a joke). One 8+8 with both heads connected, one 8+8 with one head connected.

I thought it was 3 when I watched this on my phone - now I've got home, unless that shandy i had after work was stronger than i expected, that deffo looks like three.
 
to be fair, i did say 'how many cables' and he is completely right, that it's two cables but 3x8pins.

However, I can't remember ever seeing a 3x8 pin requirement before.
 
We know VEGA can run perfectly fine on 2x 8pin so what does adding another 8pin give here? Higher clocks? more overclocking head room? going to be interesting seeing the results.
