Poll: The Vega Review Thread.

What do we think about Vega?

  • What has AMD been doing for the past 1-2 years?

  • It consumes how many watts and is how loud!!!

  • It is not that bad.

  • Want to buy but put off by pricing and warranty.

  • I will be buying one for sure (I own a Freesync monitor so have little choice).

  • Better red than dead.

I never thought this review thread would reach 44 pages.

Having said that I do like the look and style of the new Vega cards, something that AMD have improved a lot compared to older cards like the 290X.:)
 
£300 for V56 and £500 for V64 would have been ideal for the base cards (Extra for Liquid coooling). I imagine will be a long time before we see it.

Some of Nvidia's GPU's are more expensive now then they were at launch (Last year)

It's a sign of the times.. Let AMD make some money. Their next lot of cards can be even better then.


Future Vega 64 owner spotted ^^^

:D:D:D:D
 
First time over the last 20 years, I see people trying to ignore the price of a product and base it on it's performance. But well, each on their own.
However seeing your graph, which you take like a gospel, thought something is wrong, and my memory did serve me well at the end.

Thats Hexus, used the same CPU/mobo/ram just a month ago to do the review of the TitanXp.

Huh, what happened? Did 1080tis lost 10% performance in a month to make the Vega review look better?
Or that 38mhz between Aorus Xtreme and EVGA SC2 is the major factor for 10% fps drop?

Lets pick an AMD sponsored game.
From the Vega review.

From the TXp review same story.
Look at the FuryX performance. Having one myself, didn't saw a 4% drop on FPS in TWW the last 20 days.

The whole reason of my post, isn't another Vega or NV. But that reviews need to be researched over a period to make a decision.

Especially one which involves buying an overpriced card.

And again each on their own.

A Titan Xp is not going to score less than an ordinary Pascal Titan in anything.
 
And the FuryX



I don't disagree. Wish i justify it's cost and buy one myself.


Could not be bothered to fire up a Titan Xp so just used an ordinary Titan P.

Same settings as Hexus

Pascal Titan stock clocks

6950X @4.0 (Hexus had an advantage as they had their CPU @4.4)

Goodness knows how they do their reviews as my score is quite a bit higher than theirs.
