Review: ASUS Radeon ROG RX Vega 64 STRIX 8GB

I have re-published our ASUS Radeon ROG RX Vega 64 STRIX 8GB review. The review is similar to what it was a few weeks ago, yet with some foot-notes. ASUS did not offer a new BIOS, yet did offer a driver which didn't help the product either As such the product is what it is and is what it was. More info in the review.

Thank you as always for the great reviews HH!!
Pretty much no change from the performance side. Better temps.

Nice review HH thanks but i hope some of the other manufacturers can do better.
I am surprised I thought the strix would do a much better job cooling the Vega and enable better performance.

I think it is a combination of crap TIM applied in the factory combined with binned vega chips offered to third party card builders.
I wonder if Raja's "sabbatical" has anything to do with this and if his sabbatical is permanent

Jaytwocents also recently did the review of the card and his card performed under the reference card.
Either AMD binned the best GPUs for reference cards and sent the others to partners, or something is wrong with Asus...
Yeah i have noticed that, but some of the reviewers admitted the Strix used the silent profile vs the performance profile of the stock, maybe a power limit in the silent profile thats causing it to run slightly slower.
