Poll: ** The AMD VEGA Thread **

[Dianbobo]

I used to admire Alienware until you see the insides that looks so generic. :/

Wow they just don't care haha

How on earth does it pull that much? My old [email protected] and my overclocked (1125/6600) 390X ran on my 650W power supply just fine with 4 hard drives, 2 SSD's, 4 RAM sticks and a sound card.

A PSU rating covers what it can supply or output, not what it will draw. So your PSU supplying 650 will be drawing more than 650 from the socket.

The actual figure depends on your PSU's efficiency rating.

Agree with you it looks terrible in side very mismatch i know you do not see from the outside but still no good ....Custom motherboard?? ...so OEM then

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.

IMO 32" is the smallest size people should consider for 4K.

And bear in mind even a 40" 4K is smaller pixels than the hugely popular/standard 24" 1920x1080.

That area 51 alien thing case is hideous, yuk.

I cant believe there are no vega leaks by now, specially over in asia they usually leak things. AMD must have sent hit men around to enforce the NDA.

Try another meter

Its not the meter. Something with the socket box (dont know what its called) tripping the meter out. Changed that and now the power reading seems correct. around 350-370watts when playing shadow warrior 2 on stock cpu and gpu. Its weird but atleast its solved.

I know but it still wouldn't be drawing 800-900W at the socket. I think mine would have been about 500W peak.

Yes very strange

It looks like the M.2 drive isn't installed properly.

It wasnt. It seemed suspicious to me as well and when i saw my corsair psu didnt have the fan spinning during full load i knew something was wrong( no fan under 50% load of the 860watts). Changed the socket box(dont know the real name of it) and now reading are correct at around 370 watt stock. I have no idea why the meter would spass like that over something so simple. Corrected my first comment on the matter just to remove any future confusion.

EW! That looks worse than the Dell Professional workstations inside....

HP's Omen line looks amazing compared to that.

The Omen X?

 

[N19h7m4r3]

The Omen X?

Yup! Compare the two's insides; and HP are on to a winner. Even their 35" Omen X monitor looks darn awesome.

Neat hidden toolkit it has. Plus all the Steelseries custom branded accessories.

To be honest I don't know what to think but it looks like they are trying to play down the Siggraph event because RX Vega is still far from ready to sell. Whether that's through issues with drivers, not enough units to send out or something else we'll have to wait and see..

I wouldn't be surprised if they don't even give a definitive launch date and only present the RX quickly and move on... They probably want to keep on selling those Polaris dies that they ramped up to max at the moment, riding out the mining craze for as long as possible

Every day/week/month they delay is a day closer to nV's next gen... they know this as well as we do!

OK so maybe because they isn't going to a live stream. The NDA lifts tomorrow?

I'm just hoping it survives the drop test...

 

[WeSbO]

Maybe LTT will be live streaming something, they didn't say it wouldn't be livestreamed they said that they won't be livestreaming it, just a crazy idea lol. They should have thought of that actually for an event as LTT have way more "on the go" viewer potentiality than AMD.

It's just AMD sandbagging on the sandbagging

You can actually buy that omen case separately, £550 or thereabouts.

Really?! That's not bad. HP has really stepped up the "gamer" stuff in looks and quality. Darn.
