The RX Vega 64 Owners Thread

Suggestive of Hynix HBM then if it cannot go above 1000?
It is for sale at £399 same as the red dragon V56 currently on preorder here. Maybe it is better to wait for that seeing as it is a 3 fan card but the card itself looks massive. Maybe I should just go with a 64 if the red devil 64 goes back down to £449 on Monday but I'm only on a tx650 PSU.

The issues woth coil whine are a little worrying, is this a common vega issue or are some cards better tyanother for this?

I don't think having 2 fans particularly hurts the performance of the Pulse. Since the PCB is so tiny, the 2nd fan's airflow is completely uninterrupted, making it efficient at dissipating the heat.

This is better than the Pulse it seems
 
There are some better pics of this card and the shroud is huge. Guess I need to check my case can take it tomorrow. A 56 is likely to be better for the PSU so may just wait for this if it fits.

V56 HBM cannot clock as high as a V64 without flashing a V64 bios as the voltage cannot be adjusted. (contrary to what wattman suggests) My V56 wouldn't get above 950MHz on the standard bios, but using a V64 bios, it quite happily clocks to 1175MHz.

As to coil whine, my reference powercolor card has none.
 
Hi,
I did a clean Windows install a couple of days ago and I'm having to remember and do all the settings tweaks,
When I start my PC my graphics card is at it's stock settings,
Can someone remind me how I make it so that my under-volt profile in Radeon Settings is automatically applied on start up please.

Definitely, The extra £50 for a V64 Red Devil is worth it.

From what I've experienced myself coil whine is not a big problem with the Vega 64's, It's caused by a number of factors, I've had 5 different Vega 64 cards now, An AIO, a limited edition reference, a Nitro+ and two Red Devils and the only time coil whine was an issue was when I bought a new Corsair HX850 PSU to go with my first Vega card the AIO, with that my V64 AIO had a loud whine. I immediately swapped back to my old TX850 and it was completely gone so I returned the HX PSU and went for a different one. Chances are that your TX 650 will be able to run Vega but it may not be up to any overclocking with out under volting.

It will always remember the last profile applied on startup, providing the card doesn't crash or system hangs before the start of windows.
Yo can use overdriventool which is a lot quicker to use, and will hold the clock setting profile just like wattman, and this can be run with a bat file at startup if you need to.

It always remember the last profile as long as it didn't crash on the last time.

Here is list of settings for low power. On the Nitro+ these are 260W while benching, 243W or less while gaming.

you can always save the files to a USB stick. But are only available for the drivers they are made.

Cheers guy's,

Another oddity since the clean OS install is that on starting a game the game starts okay but I get a message telling me I need to find an app to run the ms-gaming overlay, It doesn't seem to stop any games from working but it is new, as in it's never appeared before, I'll boot up a game and add a screenshot of it now. Ignore the use this app tick, It does it regardless of it being ticked or not.

its something to do with 1803 update, go into settings, gaming, and i think it's game bar-record games, clips screenshots .
I think i turned it all off, inc game dvr, game mode and trueplay

annoying W10 features -_-

Also make sure you install Spybot Anti-beacon to remove most spyware services.

So my computer still cuts out with the replacement vega. At least that rules out the GFX card. I'm guessing PSU or motherboard then?

If it's still acting as in your post here with the computer not turning on for some time after it shut down then yeah I would guess there's a problem with the motherboard or PSU ... can't readily find if you ever tried a different PSU?
