Vega 56/64 anybody has them?


Recommended Posts

I'm interested in how these GPU handle DCS. I have a new freesync monitor I would like to use fully and I'm considering buying Vega 64. I'm well aware of the differences to 1080ti. I just want to know some first hand experience from someone who already have it. Thank you.

Do, or do not, there is no try.

I've been running one since late last year. For DCS it does pretty well, FPS lower than some of the numbers quoted for the 1080ti but that's with everything turned up. Running on a FreeSync monitor was pretty sweet. On the HTC Vive in VR with Kegetys' VR Shader mod in the F/A-18 I'm on 45fps most of the time with a few drops to 30-35fps. This is with most items turned up to High, visual range on High, 4xMSAA.

 

It easily handles everything else I throw it at 3440x1440 res. Mine's water cooled so I can't comment on fan noise as I haven't run it on air ever.

At 300w (380w peak) of consummation, the question should be "Foot heater anybody has them?" :devil_2: You have a good PSU?

 

Well, the 1080 ti is also a 300W GPU when overclocked. That said, Vega 64 performs like the 200W GTX 1080.

The Vega is a good graphics card, unfortunately not at DCS World.

The driver is to blame here, because AMD has not optimized the drivers so great for DirectX 11 games with many 3D objects (Draw Calls).

For DCS World an Nvidia 1080 (without Ti) is better suited than an AMD Vega 64.

But since you already have a freeSync monitor, you won't notice much of the slightly lower performance.

In other games the Vega 64 is partly better than the 1080, so you have no disadvantages.

 

When DCS World is converted to Vulkan API, hopefully the Vega 64 will be able to reach its full potential.

 

I hope so for my AMD Vega Frontier Edition Liquid Cooled, then the extra charge was worth it.....

DCS already uses elements of Vulkan API. you shouldn't build for DX11 anymore.

The GTX1080Ti need 250w: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/10series/geforce-gtx-1080-ti/

330w at max OC:

This Vega 64 need 380w (peak (<50ms) at 420w-460w) at max OC: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/sapphire-rx-vega-64-nitro,5388-6.html

The Vega 64 need 50-60 more watts than the Ti.

None of the Vulkan API is in the DCSW Release or Open Beta Builds.

I am using Asus Strix Vega 64 8GB. It's a great card, and I think you'll be just fine on it. It's still 200 CAD cheaper than a 1080 Ti.

 

I've always used Nvidia but the RX 580 was the only sane upgrade from a 770 SLI rig I could find (didn't want to go from 2 x 2GB x 256-bit cards to 1 x 192 bit 6GB 1060 so I bought an 8GB RX 580 with excellent DX12 support) so I ended up with a FreeSync display too. Now here I am on Vega it seems.

 

No regrets, FreeSync is beautiful.

 

I undervolt my Vega 64, it runs faster/cooler and uses less a tiny bit less juice that way.

I'm very happy with my Vega 56 @1440P on my AOC 32. It's undervolted and overclocked. Can't wait for the switch to Vulkan.
