The RX Vega 64 Owners Thread

[flea.rider]

so how many people will pay £650+ for a $400 gpu ... and with NVidia buying up hbm2 for volta ..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtSTqGiZnMg

I assume all the new Vega stock will be hitting vendors in Jan then?

 

[MadMossy]

I'd love to be a fly on the wall at AMD when they explain to investors why there is no stock over the busiest time of the year for sales.

The investors will know, the reference cards went EOL.

Vega is transitioning to GF 12nm LP - not sure what is going on with AIB stock as they are probably going to get screwed over committing to the 14nm core.

 

[MadMossy]

I suppose the one reason why AIB stock is so late/low is because they know the 12nm refresh is coming sooner rather than later.

So... I bought the new all aluminum EK Fluid Gaming All-in-one 240R cpu-gpu kits and can say never been happier. my VEGA 64 doesnt get hotter then 50c at 100% load. Check out some of my photos ya'll

I wouldn't recommend buying a Vega FE GPU if your main aim is gaming. Gaming driver optimisations and bug fixes via drivers will be delayed in comparison to Vega gaming SKUs.

Vega gaming SKUs will get frequent updates, 2-3 per month as required. Vega FE may only see driver updates every few months.

so the FEs can't use the gaming RXs drivers like they said they could ?

Isn't the FE just exactly the same ?

Who is they?

 

[ubersonic]

The FE cards have a switch in the drivers to flip between professional driver mode and gaming driver mode, he many be thinking of that?

Also as the Vega RX and FE Adrenaline drivers just launched both are currently just as up to date.

The RTG.

There is a toggle to switch the card into gaming mode when using the FE drivers. Gaming drivers are not compatible with the FE and never have been.

The RTG.

Got a link to that?

Yeah... i thought you said like a bios switch for some reason.

I havn't no, but im sure Raja or someone said it, when they were asked about the FE for gaming, when it came out, unless im going mad

EDIT: On the actual FE website, 'I Just Want To Game'.

https://pro.radeon.com/en/product/radeon-vega-frontier-edition/

Tells you to switch it to 'Gaming Mode', and links you to the Adrenalin drivers.

 

[sharmanov]

Can anyone point me the right direction to C1 REVISION LC vega 64 BIOS? Every single one i found and tried on techpowerup.com shows up as C0 in GPUz and doesnt play nice with my air 64 converted to LC one with EK waterblock. I would really appreciate it guys n gals

Nope, that links you to the FE drivers.
