I'm shocked how much of a power difference there is with the 64 vs the 56. Seems to me the 56 is the real winner and the recommendable option; the 64, not so much.

I'm also a bit surprised how well the Fury X has aged.

I really wanted this card to be something that it's clearly not. Anyway you slice it, it's a failure. 12 months late to the party with sub-par performance. The only reason I would go this route would be A) I'm a miner or B) I don't want to shell out the extra $300 for a gsync monitor. I think all the R&D $$ went to the CPU department this year.

You and a lot of people had woefully unrealistic expectations for this card. I would argue this performed better than expected. However, better than expected still isn't quite good enough - the power consumption, noise level, delayed release, and price combined make this a tough choice. The Vega 56 is overall a better choice than a GTX 1070.

Nice cards with nice prices and very nice performance but unfortunately they are to late for the party... Nvidia won this round by default...
Also the power consumption is scary to say the least...


Well if AMD had money like nvidia+intel have i am sure they would do better soo stop whinning it's ok only they need to tweak prices like for example:

Vega 56=300$
Vega64=400$

And then they would sell like cookies.

I don“t think that AMD can afford to sell the cards so cheap like you suggest... But if the prices were like that, i would gladly sell my 1070 and buy a custom Vega64!

Another launch where AMD could've done nicely if they got it out much sooner :(.

I'm quite impressed by the thermals considering the power usage.

Great review HH but not so great for AMD. Well, crap in fact.

My 980ti will last 6 more months then. 200 bucks well spent.

I think we need power bill charts comparison to be included into benches these days - buy a cheaper but more hungry card, or get a more expensive card buy get smaller bills down the road! :D

Other then that, finally AMD released it.
