Some tripe talked on here at times. There's nothing pitiful about my Vega 64s performance. I'm also living in 2017 and I'm delighted with the performance I'm getting. My last card was a Fury X.

But it's almost the next current year. It was a joke BTW. Id love a Vaga 64 or 56 for that.

We were on Vega performance, and higher, for over a year before they came out though.

I can only go by my own experience which is not tripe, I have less performance than a GTX 1080 which came out 1 year ago, That is a fail, And in some instances the 980 Ti is beating it, That has fail written all over it.

Never realised there was a "pro duo" version of what i assumed was a vega card, turns out its polaris.

They must have wasted billions on it, they should have just rebranded their Furys, like they did with their Polaris.

Should have sent a mission to the moon. All that money wasted the fools!

Might go for that if the price is better than Vega.

Yep a complete failure. Who wants a graphics card with this pitiful level of performance when its the current year

TBH better performance was available nearly 18 months ago. 1080 is old hat now and I'm looking forward to Volta.

Unfortunately I suspect Nvidia won't release it anytime soon given how lacklustre Vega has been.

Nvidias loss then.

Seem we're all stuck with the current year -2 performance. I might just buy an Xbox Scorpio.

MSI's custom RX Vega 64 gets pictured

Not the Gaming Edition

While custom Radeon RX Vega graphics cards have been delayed, it does not mean that partners are not working on their designs and today MSI's custom RX Vega 64 has been spotted online.

Pictured by Videocardz.com, the MSI RX Vega 64 Air Boost comes with a blower-style cooler which will have a custom I/O bracket with better air exhaust.

According to the same report, MSI won't be releasing the Gaming Edition version anytime soon and Air Boost will be the only custom version from MSI in near future.

Hopefully, more custom RX Vega versions will show up soon.

Better performance was not available for people with Freesync monitors, wanting to use Freesync. Now it is available i'm taking full advantage of it.

I also much prefer the colour tones you get from AMD/ATI cards compared to nvidia, and also the images look crisper and sharper compared to nvidia.

Just my opinion.

Surprised they just didn't recycle the twin frozr design they've used for quite a few years now. Don't see the point of making a blower with a slightly different shroud and fan.

Better exhaust would be impressive as the reference Vega 64 has the best two slot blower I've ever used (HIS ones were triple slot).

Just looks like their 'Aero' blower as per the Nv Aero cards. It's not too bad considering, was expecting more though I must admit.

jigger · 21 Sep 2017 at 19:21

Any prices? £330-350 and I'm interested.
