Awesome.

Edit.

Performance is mostly as expected.

Some numbers do seem a bit off, although the big picture suggests perhaps requiring driver improvements or even some kind of limitation in other hardware. Power usage, heat and noise are still not to the standard I would have liked to see, but improved compute performance is offered. Perhaps not right now, but the latter could potentially bring benefit to games.

Overall, a good graphics card, but I would expect some quick fixes from AMD Radeon if driver improvements are in fact the cause of the noted fluctuations in performance. Finally, as noted by @Hilbert Hagedoorn, current graphics card prices appear to be too high.

Laughing after reading specs table. A lot of people will cry and none will admit that their early comments were biased without base.

... time to read more...

Edit: Card is good, price tag is justified. AMD will sell all they can make.

I am not about to buy it. Still waiting for Navi as I do for few years.

@Hilbert Hagedoorn : Can you measure GPU clock and card's power consumption under following conditions?
- Idle GPU for all cases and 1080p screens
- > only one screen at 60Hz connected
- > 2 screens at 120Hz connected
- > 2 screens at 240Hz connected

So FP64 is 1:4? How is that the specs got misreported on that twice lol?

Card looks great in DX12.

Interesting card. Considering its a Vega56 7nm this performance uplift is amazing. I im sure AMD will push 64cu 7nm chip later this year, maybe even before Navi hits.
