Poll: ** The AMD VEGA Thread **

[N19h7m4r3]

Actually, it maintains a solid 1600mhz if you simply undervolt it. It seems AMD were totally **** when it came to setting the vega up...

More power and heat, I saw the tests from Gamers Nexus. the card drew 400W from the PCIe lanes when overclocked and volted.

Damn it, why did they bother with that bloody Frontier Edition. Just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It would have been completely fine if they Never once mentioned gaming, gaming modes, or drivers for it.

[UPDATED – 7:36 AM ET 30/7/2017] We just got word that RX Vega 56 will cost $399 and the Limited Edition liquid cooled RX Vega 64 will retail for $699 and be part of a “special bundle”. We don’t know yet what this bundle will look like.

399 aint bad at all, let's hope it nails the 1070.

Will see how the UK gouge price go's ...Power consumption is what i have my eye on ...

Sounds like pricing is slightly cheaper than current 1070 and 1080 prices.

But then, rip off Britain tax and miners....?

1677 boost for a non-aib card at stock is good news. 1800 mhz should be good for a mild overclock under water.

You're dreaming. We already know how they overclock from the Frontier Edition.

If you want to buy this, then you need to ignore power consumption. Literally don't make yourself aware of it. To get a more sustainable boost clock, you will likely have to increase the power limit +20%.

Can't blame AMD or Nvidia for mining and taxes.

@Gibbo When do the pre-orders go live?

But it achieved the same 1600MHz stable being undervolted and +50% power target added. It did this with less than around 280-290W which is a massive difference.

We already know how the FE overclocks at least

Where is the 399 price coming from? If that is legit I am suddenly very interested

There is likely a cut down version of the card with harvested chips.

Who suggested the 399 price? Did that come from AMD?

 

[Howling]

It's a leaked price for the Vega 56 (cut down)

 

[muon]

Who suggested the 399 price? Did that come from AMD?

Not sure. But if the full fat card is $499, then $399 would make sense?

Made me think of Brad Pitt's great face expressions.

1070 rrp is $379 so its actually more. We will have to see if the cut down version can beat a 1070 though.

 

[ljt]

It would make sense. Otherwise they'll have a big gap in their line-up between a $250 580 and the $500 vega

 

[ecksmen]

Also looking for a pre-order button.

1070 is 75% of the cores in the 1080.
Vega 56 would be 87.5% of the cores in Vega 64.

So might beat it if Vega 64 (Air) is genuinely matching the 1080 (I don't think the air version will).

Less than a day and hopefully we will know more! .
