Remind me what is the "normal" boost clock on a "stock" Vega 64?
they must have got unlucky with their 1080 and got a poor card as it's 50MHz down on typical "stock" 1080 clocks in the bit in The Division.-

Once Raytracing starts getting used for games it wouldn't surprise me to see Vega faster than the 2070 in that as well! lol
I'm looking forward to seeing what The Division 2 turns up (performance wise)...

During the release of RTX quadro, there was a smaller company using Radeon rays on their game saying that vega 64 had same gigarays metric with the top quadro. I will find it tonight and repost it.
I think you are likely going to be disappointed - a lot of that stuff was support for things like optimising data before it hit various setup engines so as to maintain the same effective level of throughput at a lower hardware utilisation level and in doing so save on power use - most of that functionality they seem to have given up on working towards in favour of putting the resources to new stuff.

Nitro, strix and reference have waterblocks.
Either by EK or Bysksy (using it on Nitro, great product). Alphacool was going to release one for Red Devil but unknown when.

Yeah, they're taking their time getting them sorted ... still don't see any new block for it on their site either. Happy with the performance I'm getting out of the early prototype of what was to be the M02 though, even the hotspot stays below 80C on limit-pushing overclocks.
Awesome, thanks! I’ll try keep an eye out on a deal for either of the above

I am in the process of getting a liquid, if I do so might sell the Nitro and water block. **
Please use the MM you choose to sell your items - thanks

I'm sorry for late reply, been mental busy with work.
Yes flashed an LC bios on it back last year once I got it in my loop. I think it just allows you a higher TDP from the card and it might allow you to boost higher during the power states if the card is below a bracket temp, although that's more me being speculative than factual. Maybe I can get so high because my core and memory never gets hotter than 38/39c in extreme load, with only 68c on the hotspot at extreme peak. I'm guessing the low temps combined with a good chip allows me the headroom.
I know but I'm getting to the point now where I'm more than happy with and would regret pushing it to fair. It's one hell of a card I got here, don't want to kill it, just want to enjoy the epic fine wine that's happening.

Cheers for the offer Panos. Will see if I have MM access when it comes to you selling as not far off it

Are any of you that have your gpus under water using liquid metal between the die and waterblock?
Soldato
Yes

Nope

Nope! Would only use it on a delidded CPU, and even then it's hardly worth the risk.

Did you bench before using LM and if so did you notice much of a change in temps going from paste?
Oooh, maybe LM is the silver bullet to 28k
I'm just joking about the 28k btw, you do you.

Haha....Yep I kinda got that. Just imagine that though, 28k on Vega64
. That would ruffle a few jimmies around here

While I was sorting out the block, tried the card with the stock heatsing with both liquid metal and initial paste.
The performance jump at lower overclock settings and power consumption.
The most obvious change were the higher speeds at powersave and balanced modes.
Tbh after extensive testing, the only beneficiary of liquid metal are the HBM modules not the core. As these are running 20C higher than core with thermal paste. IMHO use good paste like cryonaut you will be OK under water.

Vega is not Pascal throttling from 32C. Maybe it would help the HBM overclock but not the core.

What are people's opinions on Vega 64 with a 3440x1440 freesync screen?
I'm thinking about putting together an upstairs PC and would like to try out an all AMD build. Almost exclusively single player content other than some WoW.
Also screen suggestions would be helpful - I've looked at the LG 34UC88 or Samsung LC34F791?
