Well... Like most people I wasn't super impressed with Vega performance... But I managed to pre-order a Vega 64 in Aus' for slightly over the USD$500 rrp. Which is a pretty awesome price considering 580's are listed here for USD$400-450 (and higher), and 1080's are USD$600-700. Surely the prices of the other cards are on the way down, but equally surely the price of Vega will go up.
I'll be using the power saving mode though. No way I'm going to run this thing at full power; I must be an old fart because the idea of using stupid power for a few % more performance does not appeal to me. So I'd be interested in more data from reviews done with the different power settings and BIOS modes.
Congrats. Thats an awesome deal. I also got my rx64 10% below 1080 price. Unfortunately i think we are and will stay a minor minority I dont even think i will try this card on the balanced profile but will take powersave day one and up max temp 10c. No way 292w on a blower. Ever.
We will make a dedicated rx64/rx56 builders thread. The ryzen and tr builders threads in the cpu forum is going very well and is a huge help for people beause they are not cluttered with all the other talk.
Then we can share undervolting, profile setups and bios tips. People can join with their overvolted 1900MHz custom liquid cooling 600w cards. From 130w to 600w. It will be fun !
....and really fun when wolfenstein hits
