Poll: The Vega Review Thread.

[CaptainRAVE]

Wow, that is massively underwhelming. Glad I didn't wait and picked up a 1080Ti. Can't even keep up with a 1080 whilst being nearly a generation behind.

HardOCP is showing that MSAA and SSAA tanks the performance pretty hard too.

Raja and his team must be fired end of story. This is pure disaster, never seen a product fail so much lol

 

[Huggie86]

No wonder the cards selling for £450 with that awful black plastic cooler. The card is trash

 

[wedrum]

this the end of AMD

Looking at the Anandtech results the consistent theme is that Vega 64 Air is consistently slower than GTX 1080 FE and consumes around 50% more power. It's also hotter and louder.

How the hell this talentless ******* managed to go backwards in 2 years thats is what i really wonder lol

 

[RavenXXX2]

(RX Vega 56) looks the best of a bad bunch.

 

[HEADRAT]

Have to say I don't feel compelled to upgrade my FuryX

 

[Gregster]

Pretty much what I expected and on par with a 1080 and at a decent price.

I was reading the same review and not that you would buy a card like a Vega64 for 1080p but my god the 1080p performance numbers for these cards are truly shocking. There must be some severe CPU bottlenecking going on there (the CPU is probably having all the draw calls loaded into one core by the HS), AMD have had two chances to fix it's stupid hardware scheduler now and Vega represents their best efforts.

I'm really interested to see AdoredTV's analysis on this card, 60% boost in clock speed yet were only seeing a 20%/25% improvement in FPS over a Fury X. The question has to asked where has all the extra performance gone?

But the power consumption?

 

[Schnippzle]

Don't see why people are calling for Rajas head & claiming the end of AMD. It's exactly what was expected. It's not great, it's not terrible. It's just "meh". Lets give it a few weeks and see how drivers mature.

Yer, it is high but I have never worried about that

 

[Yaayuh!]

EEEUUUGGHHHH.

FFS AMD. No competition to nVidia's top tier = high prices forever.

 

[Dirk Diggler]

Is it too early for a Vega hugs n kisses counselling thread?

 

[easyrider]

Well you should for your kids and planets future.

Basically VEGA is backwards on every level.

Yes in 2016. What a let down for everyone. Now NV will just keep the prices high
