Personally while fun for its time TIE Fighter wasn't that good compared to Freespace 2 whose immersion was insanely better thanks to advances in hardware.I missed it all.

The good old times of trying to fight those fighter slim, heavy bomber shielded, ridiculously fast and ludicrously maneuverable SF Dragons

Such shame they don't do anymore games like that.

I'm looking forward to playing the campaign, I hope they've done a decent job on it.

Couldn't agree more TBH. Playing all my games at higher FPS with added smoothness thanks to my 144hz freesync monitor and Vega 64 AC. I paid £449 on launch date so happy chappy indeed well worth the money. Vega is about 2x faster than Fury so a very worthwhile upgrade IMHO.

Just a FYI post for anyone interested in reading more into VEGA

That's actually good to know as I've currently got Fury X Crossfire and was a little concerned that swapping that out for a single Vega 64 would be a downgrade. Now just need to wait for the AIB cards...

Isn't the 1080 Ti just about faster than 2 furys? I'm not sure Vega is twice as fast as 2 furys? I might be wrong just my 2 cents

As someone who came from a Fury X to a V64, no. For the most part V64 is about 20% - 40% faster at the same settings that are playable on Fury X. If you push VRAM limits on Fury X to where it is totally unplayable then yeah, maybe twice as fast.

I had Fury X, GTX 1070, 1080, 1080 Ti etc. The VEGA 64 is between the 1080 and 1080 Ti in performance. Wins some loses some. It is way faster than Fury X by comparison. As we go forward with API and DX12, VEGA 64 might surprise us VS the 1080 Ti.
I hope AMD is much quicker In execution with the next set of GPU's. Team red make good stuff but sometimes seem to launch too late for it to make an impact.
Nvidia to damn expensive atm, so I really hope AMD do stay competitive so I can make affordable upgrade in future.

Hello again all
With a couple of days off work I decided to install my Eiswolf/Eisbear today. I also did a delid on the 4790K.
Anyway it's now in (booted first time!).
It's on a basic loop so it has the Eisbaer on the delidded 4790K currently @ 4.4 stock volts (no so impressed with the results here, but it is about 15C better) with a 240MM rad, the Eiswolf and the double thickness Eiswolf Rad with push/pull ML120 fans.
I've only just started playing, but I currently cannot get it to go above 50C. I've tried but it's 30C at stock and 40-49C when stressing. I've run the mem at 1100 and the GPU at just over 1700 (seen on AB). Either way it's a graphics score of about 7350 on Time Spy which seems about right from this thread. There is lot's more tweaking to do, but I'm very impressed with the Alphacool AIO - it's taken 25-30C off like for like tests. What a fuss though! Whoever it was earlier in the thread that said they should cut the heatpads up for you was right!
ETA - also I used CRU to "clock" my LG 34UM57 to 80HZ with a new Freesync range of 30-80 HZ. Nice and easy!

3 x 8 pin power sockets !!!

Does Raja leaving mean its likely slower to next release or was he a head not vital cog to product progress
Yep, going to be "interesting" power consumption numbers...
Especially considering standard reference Vega goes clearly past its sweet point.

After seeing that glad I went ref PCB TBH.

That won't fit in my cube case so it looks like I'm gonna have to buy a new case (again).
3x 8 pin power leads?
Wow. I wonder what the psu requirement is?
