Any one tried afterburner yet? any results Shankly?

Steve @ Gamers Nenus is planning to have the part 2 up in the next day or so with the alphacool chop job. Should give an idea of what you can expect.

The vega block looks like this, its the one i currently use. The layout is quite different.

I ask because the die size is very similar and nexus only cooled the die and it made me think that this block would be even better if the vrms fit somehow

Ive lost just over 1 fps with the new update at the same clocks at 1440 ultrawide on heaven

Dont own VEGA 7 sorry just sharing the news.

Great fix for these - the BFV thing was annoying!

Hopefully the other known issues mean the FPS overlay will work correctly as well soon.

Yeap.. its frustrating now. Freezing all the time

It works! Tells me my VII has hynix which im not entirely sure is correct.

I tried it and it would repeatedly auto alt tab dx12 games to the desktop XD
But in other games it works
I had a weird issue with the new driver 19.2.3 or whatever it is, after gaming for a while it would down clock the memory to 800 and then the clock speeds would become erratic think I might roll back to 19.2.2
Anyone else had issues?

Not gamed yet, prob tomorrow. However, the radeon utility freezes all the time still. Very irritating.

I thought it was Micron or Samsung ?

Micron and Hynix the same company, am pretty sure.

I think it can actually only be Samsung or hynix at this point, if you look at product pages Samsung clearly have 4gb hbm stacks, micron as far as I can see don't produce hbm2 in the right configuration so it can't be micron memory. The jury is still out on if hynix make 4gb stacks, there is no mention on there site but they do show a picture of a 4gb and 8gb stack.

Edit: Wow lose signal on the train and it's a triple post. Will sort later.

How are people finding the 7? Good overclocks generally so far? I'm pretty impressed with the Vega56 Pulse I picked up to have a play with

Yeap, mine shows also Hynix

Micron doesnt make HBM2 AFAIK !

Mine says Hynix to, so either GPZ reports wrong or we all got hynix

I'll pull the bios of mine at the weekend and should be able to tell by looking at it. I do think that perhaps they are all hynix, it kinda makes sense as hbm was dual developed between Hynix and AMD so hynix might even be as good as the Samsung at this point. There certainly isn't really any difference between samsung/hynix on the Vega 56/64 both top out around 1150.

I think your right, the Hynix chips would have been good as these were meant to be workstation based chips to start with. will be interesting to see what you find from pulling the bios.
