with the 4,4ghz overclock i have to push around 1.28.. anything less and it gets unstable in some applications.. just removed the oc to do some testing and running OCCT Linpack i pull 400 watts from the wall, now remove the 40 watt router(measured) and 30 watt monitor(again measured) and we are around 330 which is way more than what it should be. It makes no sense to me.
Member when Vega was supposed to be a 225W GPU, and dual GPU was 300W? I member.
Such a long time ago now.
Are we so sure it won't be, or at least be very close to that?
Let's look at the facts we do know
- Vega FE pulls on average 275 Watt with 16GB HBM2 VRAM.
- Vega RX will have half the VRAM of FE, which will reduce overall power consumption.
- Vega RX by this fact alone should consume less power than Vega FE.
As we can see, without any other power saving changes, Vega RX could be ~250W. Now assuming (as rumoured) there are other power saving features not enabled in FE, it could bring RX power consumption down to the 225 Watt target posted above. Having said that, maybe it will be best to wait until Vega RX specs are released before making any conclusions.

I don't care about G-Sync and Freesync so I am very exciting about HDMI 2.1 Game Mode VRR.
Manufacturers worldwide shipped about 120 million 1080p, 1440p, 4K & 4K HDR PC monitors compared to 350 million 1080p, 4K & 4K HDR HDTVs annual. Not all 120 million PC monitors supported VESA Adaptive Sync, AMD Freesync, AMD Freesync 2 and Nvidia G-Sync. I checked price search engine found there are 4209 monitors brands and models but only 241 or 0.05% of monitors supported VESA Adaptive Sync, 185 or 0.04% of monitors supported AMD Freesync, 57 or 0.01% of monitors supported Nvidia G-Sync and only just 3 Samsung monitors supported AMD Freesync 2 so probably less than 1% of PC monitors shipped worldwide supported VESA Adaptive Sync, AMD Freesync, AMD Freesync 2 and Nvidia G-Sync.
Years ago both AMD and Nvidia probably had met HDMI founders (Hitachi, Panasonic, Philips, Silicon Image, Sony, Thomson, RCA and Toshiba) to offered Freesync or G-Sync as standard for next generation HDMI 2.1 but they were not interested because it cost far too much to make then HDMI founders decided to created their own version called Game Mode VRR, both AMD and Nvidia had no choice but to support Game Mode VRR alongside with Freesync 2 and G-Sync. Over the next few years all PC monitors and HDTVs will have HDMI 2.1 ports supported Game Mode VRR.
4K resolution on 28 inch monitor are a massive waste, people cannot see big difference compared to 1080p. The recommended size people with both excellent or poor visions can see huge visual improvement on 4K resolution are 50 inch 4K HDTV or 50 inch 4K monitor.

interesting colour, so not the black and red we had seen previously.

Is that the Limited Edition version? I prefer the look of that one compared to the Frontier Edition.
Correct Sir.
You know you should learn to speak for yourself only. Your "statement" certainly doesn't fit my personal experience and im sure im not the only one feeling this way.
I have the AOC 28" 4K monitor - definitely can tell the difference that said I wouldn't generally recommend 4K on a monitor that was less than upper 30s or higher inch.
I think you're forgetting that when the FE is running at 1600 MHz it uses substantially more power than 275 Watts.
the Limited Edition is a good looking card, they nailed the design for the card, but not streaming the event is bad news imo, AMD expects a big flop.
