Official Vega Thread

In! :D

I was going to say red sucks and green owns but I feared you'd be in mood for it...
 
In this moment imo the gaming performance doesn't matter anymore with 70MH of mining rate.The card is already a success and it will sell..It will not end in KAC's hand for sure. :D
OR Hapag
 
Why oh why the 70, now the card is basically Gone on Arrival. It's gonna be next to impossible to get it, and I bet retailers will up the card price to cash in on the package bonuses even more. I'm pissed :mad:

This is an absolute nightmare period of time for PCs; CPUs are GREAT but the GPUs actually go up in price. It's insane! I planned on getting Threadripper and an rx Vega 64, but this can't be good. I am glad for AMD though, good times on the CPU and chipset end!
 
Mining tax plus early adopters tax but extra retailers tax=

I'm doomed to continue rocking my 7970 for longer than I thought.
 
I'm still astounded that the recommended PSU for the WC version is 1000w. I've been looking at a Gigabyte Aurous 1080ti as an alternative if I can't get hold of Vega and that recommended spec is only 600w. Now I accept they'll over estimate the power requirement but by 400w WTF. The VEGA air cooled is touted at 750w which is just plain crazy.

This must mean that all those rumours of Vega's power draw might be correct and if so wow. As Theoden said in LOTR.."how has it come to this" :lol:

my 1080 ti killed my 850 watt PSU in about 10 minuets taking two hard drives with it

now it was old and a thermaltake but had been working with the same 1800x ryzen system with two 980's in sli fine for months

Mine is old and a Thermaltake tough power 700 and I definitely won't be risking it with Vega WC that's for sure. I'll take a punt on an AIB Vega 64 once I see the reviews and power draw and hopefully the AIB coolers will keep Vega in check. Not sure the reference AC Vega will be any better and will most likely throttle a lot to keep temps down like the 1080ti FE.

With regards to your PSU dying could it possibly have been on the way out anyway and adding the 1080ti was just a coincidence? I guess there's no way to prove it either way.
 
Hopefully my AX860 will be enough. Ain't no other way than AIO. Don't do custom loops and the noise with no WC is annoying.
