AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 8GB review - Product Photos

 
AMD delivered retail packaging with the Vega 64. Above, you can see that, it had a few surprises harbored inside the package though:

 
So I doubt the full retail packaging will get this as a bundle, but sitting on top of the Vega 64 box is a plexi-glass cube with, in the middle, the Vega logo laser-etched in there. To the left you can see a GPU dummy of the Vega GPU as well, nice touch, but let's focus on the real thing. 

 
Alright, so there she is; the Radeon RX Vega 64 Black from AMD, we received an (obvious) 8 GB version with heat-pipe design cooler. It has two PCIe PEG power connector (8-pin) connectors. The card has been designed to be a nice match for gaming up-to 1080P, 1440P and even Ultra HD at 3840x2160 pixels. In our findings the card is a good notch faster compared to the Radeon RX 580 and Fury series and battling with the GeForce GTX 1080, at 499 USD with 8GB that's not a bad position to be in. Obviously there's more to check out other than performance, we'll have a peek at PCB heat levels, GPU temperatures, as well as noise levels.  

 
This Radeon RX Vega 64 is armed with 8 GB HBM2 graphics memory which will be clocked at 945 MHz / 2048-bit to give you a little more leash with the higher resolutions and image quality settings. The reference clocked product will run with clock frequencies up-to 1247 MHz on its 4096 shader processors with a 1546 MHz available boost. The card itself is the familiar looking dual-slot solution.

 
This Vega 64 based product has been designed to be a match for at least the most popular Wide Quad HD resolutions. Actually, it places a strong focus on 1440P gaming. The reference board includes one HDMI (2.0b) and three DisplayPort 1.4 (HDR ready) connectors, lacking is a DVI connector which we're sure the AIB partners will embed.

Above, you can see both the Radeon RX 56 and 64 Black edition. The cards are physically 100% similar looking.
