AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 8GB review - Product Photos

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 08/14/2017 03:00 PM [

The card can ooze out roughly 12.66 TFLOPS in single precision (fp32) performance (based on AMD claims / measurements). The Vega 10 GPU is based on a 12.5 billion transistor GPU and is fabbed on a 14nm FinFET LPP process. It comes with over 45MB of SRAM cache across the chip and thus holds either an 8 GB (consumer) or 16 GB (Pro) configuration. Radeon RX Vega is rated at a 295 Watt total board power and has 64 CUs x 64 shader processors per CU (= 4096 shader processors).

The model tested is an air-cooled dual-slot based unit, it is almost 27cm in length. Above, the cooler and cooling design. You are going to spot two 8-pin power connectors that feed the power phase design.

Basically the design can deliver 300 Watts through the connectors and then another 75 Watts is fed though the PCI-Express slot (depending on how the phase distribution is configured). In theory this means there is plenty left for GPU and memory tweaking. The backside is covered up and has a nice looking back-plate and, close to the power connectors, some phase activity LEDs.

As stated, monitor display outputs include three DisplayPort 1.4 connectors and one HDMI 2.0b output. Overall the card design is more of the same in terms of aesthetics. Nice looks overall though.

Phased in over time you will also see the liquid cooled version and of course the 399 USD Vega 56 model. Radeon RX Vega 64 LCS comes with two 8-pin PCIe power connectors and GPU power phase LED light activity which you can color red or blue depending on your preference (as well as on/off).

At the front top side you can select your BIOS preference, there will be energy efficiency choices to be made for the secondary BIOS. So the alternative mode should be slightly more energy efficient. We doubt that anyone will use that mode, however it is nice to have a fail-safe BIOS on-board of course.
