The RX Vega 64 Owners Thread

Managed to pick up my Morpheus II from DPD depo after school so be having some fun later trying this. No more blower fan woo-hoo.

edit: Haven't had a chance to properly test yet but so far idle temps are looking good

That looks great can you post back some result from gaming, max clocks etc
I have had a water block sitting here for ages and not got around to doing a loop "scared" LOL TBH Cost really I can't justify it But this is something I am interested in.

Sure. I tried copying the settings from this video:
r

Ran Doom with the out of box settings 120hz like they did. Couldn't find the location they used but in similar areas it was boosting to similar clocks to the Nitro just slightly above but around 37-40c. I also tried some heavy fights and it was getting to low/mid 40s.
Then I removed the 120hz cap and let it run at 200fps and set 1630mhz no undervolt, 1100 HBM. That ran generally mid 40s and at worst low to mid 50s.

As for clock speeds my card has never been the best clocker. The best I got before was to hold 1550mhz in games at 1080p but it would still drop to 1450 or even less at times like at 1440p or higher or during Firestrike. Now it can hold about 1630mhz in Firestrike :) I will try for higher using the settings suggested here at some point.
Beat my Firestrike score by about 900points anyway. Timespy up about 500.

I also found the HBM overclocks better though I haven't tested much yet, just did a quick go 10mhz above the point it would crash before and it made it through the test.

These tests are also with the thermal paste that came with the cooler and with the 2 120mm fans fitted and set to full speed. Putting them full speed actually knocked off a whole 10c to the results. At slow speed I saw it peaked at high 60s in Doom after playing for a while (with no undervolt, oc and no frame cap).

So verdict thus far. I'm impressed. Seems better then any of the aftermarket cooled Vegas but obviously it's 50quid and it wouldn't be as good as watercooling but still very effective.

Anyway my thermal throttling woes are over

 
My Vega64 has Sammy memory but it would artefact if I push beyond 1000MHz, so I left it on 950v and 1000MHz for now. I did tried raising the memory voltage to 1100v and 1200v but it would seem the artefact would present itself, so just wondering if I was just unlucky with the memory lottery, or do I need to increase voltage further?

Mine does the same (Reference) model. I leave it below 1000mhz now.
 
Awesome, enjoy man. I absolutely love the card, had a good time to play around with it today. The warranty gives me great piece of mind, and AMD ages like wine n all that :).
Aye, can’t wait for it to arrive. Swore I wasn’t gonna break down my cpu custom loop to install a new card (time constraints) but couldn’t resist at 450 quid (gibbo knocked the price back down temporarily to let me order!!)
Also, did you know the strix comes with 4 more games on top of the 3 AMD ones?

So 7 games in total for a vega64 at 450 notes is actually exceptional value in the current climate.

Wow I am very impressed. I definitely be looking into this..
Thanks for the detailed reply

No worries mate. I would be confident if you used some decent thermal paste and 2 good 120mm fans, the higher clocking cards may be able to stay below 50c all the time. Mine was there 95% of the time and actually only briefly spiked up there during those most intense areas. Didn't touch the voltages either :)

No brainer man, You going to sell them on? I sold mines essentially making it £400 for me - No brainer and 3 years warranty. I would never have been at peace buying used (likey card would have been mined to high heavens)

Aye defo.

Just a quick question, the other 4 games (not the assassins creed etc ones - got the code for them already) did you get a code for them or was it just a matter registering the card with Asus and uploading a copy of the invoice?
 
Having issues with Destiny 2, crashes every time I play on VEGA 64. Sometimes instant sometimes after 5mins.

Tried wattman default. Wattman max power. Wattman low power mode. Default Radeon settings. Changing in-game settings to low- mid-high-ultra.

At a loss here xD

Other games are fine. On latest drivers.

Just a stab in the dark here, any overlays on screen?

Easier to see the settings and edit them in OverDrivenTool. Though if it's crashing repeatedly then usually it's a clock limit. For instance if I run 1750MHz on core for Black Ops 4 then it'll likely crash very fast. If I run 1722MHz it doesn't. Min voltage could also be a thing.

My first port of call would be to disable all P states below P7 core and P3 HBM. Then set core 50MHz below your normal and set HBM to 950MHz. Make the HBM Voltage setting 1100 and the P7 voltage 1150 and see if that works. Somthing like below:

Did you upgraded GPU while the game was installed?
Did you wipe your %appdata% destiny 2 folder, in addition to anything in My Documents?
Did you re-installed the game?
Did you used DDU to wipe drivers for all vendors in windows safe mode, used CCleaner to wipe all registry issues and then installed the latest drivers?

Asking because crashing on Destiny 2 when GPU or even drivers are changed, is common, but usually to Nvidia not AMD cards.
However I would advice to remove the game, clear out anything on appdata and my documents, and install the game again.
Few weeks back someone else who upgraded GPU had issues and cleaning up the system resolved it.
