done a couple of runs of 3DMark (free version) using various settings that I found from trolling through this thread.....no idea if the result is good or bad - anyone comment on the below? one thing I noted was the power draw at the plug (connected to a power meter) topped out at a max of ~430W, I was expecting that to be much higher?

You have not seen what my CPU can draw on its own, 600W.
If you use the graphics score to compare your score is fine for a Vega 64.
Here is a link to use for comparison, don't forget most of the cards are overclocked in the table.

600w......jesus - what the hell you running?You have not seen what my CPU can draw on its own, 600W.
cheers for that - might have play and see if there's anymore to be squeezed out of it before noise/temps or power draw (only running a 650w psu) become to much.If you use the graphics score to compare your score is fine for a Vega 64.

Very overclocked 7980XE but I don't use it for 24/7 stuff.

not surprised!

Do it. The last few cards I've owned have all been in a custom loop, there's just no way I can go back to air now.

Love Vega, I feel like it's quicker for Csgo interms of frametimes latency, might just be a placebo. But defiendefistrong average fps than Nvidia cards.

If you have reference PCB get the Watercool Heatkiller IV, and yes it worth to go underwater.
If you do not have custom cooling there are great solutions using EK MLC and QDC.
(I use predator 360).

@TonyTurbo78 I just had a look on my BIOS tonight. It seems is one of the later release one (8769) not the initial (8706).
There is also a 8892. The Liquid is 8774. All except the LC, have the same tables and settings.
I am intrigued.
@LtMatt Is the latest bios always better or no difference between them?
My Reference took Tony's settings (he has Liquid Bios), and worked straight away. My Nitro cannot do so.
However on another forum another guy with older BIOS (8707) cannot work with Tony's settings. (again watercooled card).
Is there any release notes document to find more info?

My Air cooled Ref sapphire BIOS is 8730 Techpower dont even have my BIOS ?? quite surprised to see only 3 listed, 8706/07 and 8774
Edit
ignore I found more listed.

My LC has 2 bioses, position 1 right = 8733 -220w, position 2 left = 8734 - 264w
My p64 position 1 right = 8731 -200w, position 2 left= 8706- 220w, but I did put the lc 8774 bios on this card til I bought the lc64.
The 8707 bios is the reference air cooled right position for the 200w power limit, the left switch position will be the 220w bios. so that guy wouldn't see the best with the 8707 200+50% limit.

My point is that I have the reference bios 8769 (that's what the card has, haven't touched it). And having no issues with the overclocking to 1750/1180.
Yet initial bios reference 8707 doesn't take the the settings. Which is intriguing as there is a 8892 bios (the latest) and wondering if might worth the try just for science.
That is also why asked Matt if he has any sources at work (AMD) to get us the release notes of those bios.

Interesting as I'm running 8774 on my card which is also an LC BIOS...

Spend time last night and uploaded to 8774, liquid bios. My card doesn't like it at all. It even crashes on Turbo mode.
It doesn't also accepts Tony's settings, returning error that are not compatible. True it's stock settings (liquid bios) is 1750 @ 1200mv, but the mapping at other states is different.
However putting 8892 has no issue and works fine with the Liquid overclocks.
I will try the older Sapphire Liquid BIOS and see how it goes today.

Thanks mate. I'm not messing with any more bios flashes, I'm just enjoying where my card is sitting now both in clocks, temps and performance.
Soldato
Which bios you are using?

Wondering if there's a way to mod the 8892 BIOS to have the higher HBM voltage of the LC BIOS.

Nobody has 9000 Timespy score yet?

Well that didn't work...
Tried the 8892 BIOS and ended up with BIOS failure. Couldn't read the GPU properly and then Windows of course wouldn't start. Honestly I think my card was destined to be an LC that was rejected for whatever reason. It never liked OCing with the stock BIOS either compared to the 8774 BIOS.
