Here it is: Custom Gigabyte RX Vega 64 Gaming OC 8G

Here it is: Custom Gigabyte RX Vega 64 Gaming OC 8G

There has been a bit of discussion about Gigabyte whether or not they would release a custom RX Vega 64, well the first photo just leaked. This is the Gigabyte RX Vega 64 Gaming OC 8G.

A reader from the German Computer base changed URLs a but on the Gigabyte website and boom, there is was, the Gigabyte RX Vega 64 Gaming OC 8G. Other then the photo no specs have been shows. But this one again confirms that gigabyte will release custom models.

The unit has two fans, which are most likely to be 90/100 mm in diameter. The dual-slot cooler doesn't seem to have a DVI port anymore. Looking closer at it, we doubt this is an Aorus model, looks more Gigabyte's in-house style right? The PCB clearly is marked "Gigabyte" ergo this is an in-house produced board series and they are thus not using reference boards. Let's hope that "power requirement" listed below is a typo though.

+1 for a Vega56/64 Nitro+ with backplate and custom PCB.

Prices are starting to normalize now and availability is looking better but that's the stock 64 and 56 models so yeah no doubt the entry of these initial custom cards are going to see similar price spikes and lower availability for a while.

I do look forward to seeing what they can do with the GPU but if the Strix faced issues then the WC 64 might be top of the line already short of perhaps some few PCB improvements.

Full 4 x4 HBM2 stacks (EDIT: Thus 4GB per stack and 16 GB total.) and getting that 4096 bus bandwidth could perhaps pop the bottleneck a bit too but that's not happening for the consumer models and the special drivers and other things for the Vega Frontier model has it's own drawbacks plus from my understanding it's not just a bandwidth issue even if it's slightly holding back the GPU in certain scenarios. (Full on 1 Ghz memory might help a bit further maybe but apparently the stock model is already heavily overvolted and overclocked with the 64 pushing it even further so it might not be possible.) Well in any case more reviews will be fun and I guess next year there's the mid-end Vega models possibly being released and news on both Navi and NVidia Volta perhaps.

Not sure if there's room for a 600 series of more mainline GDDR5 or GDDR5X GPU's either (GDDR6 is probably not going to be available that soon.) the 500 series weren't that big of a increase over the 400's so that line might have reached it's limits short of a new architecture but who knows, sticking 2x Vega GPU's on a single die would probably require a ton of power too plus it would require good Crossfire scaling which Vega was just recently enabled to utilize so probably not happening either.
(Little Vega Nano model could be a thing perhaps, not too sure of the possibilities on that either though I think AMD showcased a possible model a while back so it had to be planned at least.)

-1 for pricing and -1 for miners..

And -9001 for swapping out components for cheaper ones than those used in cards sent to reviewers. Never forget. I can't, I'm still on that same damn card.

Yep, Gigabyte cheaps out on parts with revisions. Gigabyte has a history of doing this with mobos and gpus.
