The RX Vega 64 Owners Thread

Some manufacturers only make cards for one team (XFX, Sapphire, Powercolor, HIS are examples of AMD only vendors) to avoid competing with themselves. Others (ASUS, GB, MSI, etc) make cards for both to cover all bases.

To add to that, some even buy into the rather pointless tribal mentality of green vs red etc...
As a result they go and say silly things like they'll never support (insert vendor) and promptly burn a potential financial avenue.

yeah makes sense, i was just thinking that more fingers in more pies woulda been more money hence why i asked. thanx man.

Yeah, had seen that they did. Ordered a block today so should be in tomorrow. :D

Sweet :) .

This photo does not do justice to how the backplate is in reality. I went EK copper/plexi block, front and back photos. Mine was a molded die, link. Seen others with same card and not molded, seems like complete pot luck.

My current tweaked profile is:-
  • HBCC: Off
  • DPM6: 1557MHz 975mV
  • DPM7: 1642MHz 1125mV
  • HBM: 1100MHz 975mV
  • PowerLimit: 38%
SP 4K result.
3DM TS result.
3DM FS result.

your on water man, should be able to push that baby to 1750mhz core no sweat, even if you have to crank 1200mv through it :)

I remember most bought whatever hardware at the time because it was the fastest. Unlike the tribal behaviour of today.

Whatever was the fastest that time they were jumping ship all the time.

That's actually not true. You have to be lucky to get an Air card that will run stable that high, even under water. ****, I'm still seeing posts from people with LC cards that can't run stock settings without crashing.

I've got my 56 under an EK block and whilst it is quite happy up to about 1680, even with the voltage set at 1075mV, beyond this, it starts to get flaky pretty quickly even if I push the voltage all the way back up to 1200mV. The best I've managed is 1725, which isn't worth the extra power required.

I've seen plenty of Vega 64s around on forums getting up above 1700mhz, once you get water on it 1700mhz+ is a cake walk.

My day 1 air cooled ref is a beast, on water obviously but she' doing 1800mhz solid as a rock. State 7 is 1825mhz with 1220mv

That's nice on a 56.

Way to move the goal posts. 1750 and 1700 are night and day. I haven't seen anyone else with an Air card on a custom loop able to run the clocks you can on your card. Your generalization just isn't true. Perhaps you haven't paid much attention to what others can get so you don't know, or perhaps you're just trying to flex a bit since your card clocks so well.

My Air 64 with and EK block can run 1700 no problem but will sometimes crash at 1722 on the past few driver iterations. 1750 is completely unattainable for me even at 1250mv. This is my 2nd air card and it clocks better than the first. I've also been through 2 AIOs. The first one wouldn't run stock settings without crashing. The second one was better but I had to up the voltage on p7 to 1250mv or downclock it to run stable at 1752. I'm sure Gup will eventually respond, but from what I've seen him post here and other places his card will not run 1752 either.
 
Not to be jumping on the flex wagon, but my Air 64 with Water block now on it runs 1752MHz P7 and with 1150mv on the core hits around 1680MHz in Superposition and around 1720MHz while gaming. There's a fair bit of silicon diversity though and I haven't seen a whole lot of cards up that high, and not even sure any other than AMDMatt have hit 1800+.

Was a brain fart to be fair, first post was meant to read 1700mhz. I spent days with this card on launch reading from forum to forum trying to understand the card better. Learning about the states, underclocking, overvolting, trying to fathom the voltage dips and clock fluctuations in gaming and benching and a good amount of time referencing my results for others to try with their card to help them understand. It's got nothing to do with flexing, its about showing a great card and a success. I believe a lot of potential is left untapped in this card and I want everyone to get the most out of the GPU. It's had a lot of unfair press, but actually it's a bloody good card that has loads of headroom when its put on water. Once it gets up and above 1700/1050 it pulls well clear of a 1080 yet many dont want to acknowledge that. Ive also built 2 other gaming pc's for customers with vega64 in them, 1 sits comfortably at 1752/1100 and the other is at 1732/1080. Mine is the only one in a custom loop, but the others are still on water with AIO.
