Wasn't that Vega Liquid cooled model 345W vs 295W of the air cooled vs 215w of the 56 model.


From what i have seen it's around 350-400 watts alone for the LCS one, getting different numbers depending on what article i've seen, although real world numbers could very well be lower depending on the game and demand of course

Overclocking the card (if possible) could quite easily increase that to 500watts from the GPU alone, no wonder they put a liquid cooler on it again, the thing is going to be so toasty with just air

I just wonder. Where is the 4x perf/watt vs whatever. Oh well. It might be on lower clocks.

Wow how disappointed are Ryzen 1700/1800 builders right now? A threadripper with 8/16 got snuck in. I'm sure they kept that quiet to keep selling the Ryzen. I had a sneaking suspicion they might do this and luckily I waited to pull the trigger on Ryzen. Now just wait and see how the 1900x gets along. The Vega seems to be a clunker. The 1080 has been around too long now for AMD to upset that market. And now with the ridiculous power requirements. 1000w gpu needed to run just the Vega? A Threadripper build with A Vega card is going to cause so much heating problems inside of cases. As someone else stated you will need a separate power company account to run the computer! An overclocked Threadripper, an overclocked Vega card, you will be able to pop popcorn on top of your rig. That's o.k. I guess if you watch Netflix on your computer. This will also cause degradation of all the electronics in your rig. THREADRIPPER YES! VEGA NAH NOT FOR ME.

I am not in the least disappointed really. I got my cpu 3 months ago and it has been running great. Threadripper build would have cost more no doubt. And would have had higher memory bandwidth but it should be roughly the same else so I am all fine.
