SAPPHIRE Announces Radeon RX Vega 64

SAPPHIRE Announces Radeon RX Vega 64

Sapphire has announced the launch of the much-anticipated Radeon Vega 64enthusiast graphics cards. The Vega architecture boasts significant improvements focused on maximizing the performance. 

Vega cards are designed for enthusiasts seeking top-of-the-chart framerates in games of today and tomorrow – in Ultra details and VR. 

SAPPHIRE Technology is introducing three Vega-powered models:

  • SAPPHIRE Radeon RX Vega 64 8GB HBM2 Liquid Cooled
  • SAPPHIRE Radeon RX Vega 64 8GB HBM2
  • SAPPHIRE Radeon RX Vega 64 8GB HBM2 Limited Edition

ega is a major evolution of the Radeon graphics architecture, with innovations across multiple core fronts of the silicon. New GPUs feature a High Bandwidth Cache and memory controllers remove the capacity limitations of traditional GPU memory. Thanks to automatic, fine-grained memory movement controlled by the high-bandwidth cache controller, new architecture enables access to much larger, more detailed assets. Vega GPU utilizes HBM2, the latest in graphics memory technology, to provide incredible levels of power efficiency and memory performance.

RTG engineers also equipped Vega chips with Next-Gen Compute units. This translates to higher possible clock speeds, better throughput and double the peak polygon per clock handled by the engine (vs R9 Fury X). The Pixel Engine also received a Next-Gen makeover, boosting the shading performance especially vital for gaming. Significant advancements were made to the geometry engine as well.

I noticed that too, I was really hoping Vega could get me good 60fps 4K performance.
The 1080Ti is pretty damn good for it, but even that is not fully there with demanding games.

I'm going to at least wait for rev 2 Vega with the faster HMB2. Memory overclocking was surprisingly effectie for Fury (X), maybe Vega will step it's game up with faster memory too...



I had planned to go water cooled GPU with the Fury, but I liked my Sapphire Fury Tri-X so much I stuck with its cooling solution. In my case with good airflow the fans almost never switch on during gaming (or even mining if the weather is not too hot) making it effectively passively cooled :D

Don't see that working out with Vega this time out though from what we are hearing lol

Will finally get to plumb a GPU into my 420x61mm rad which felt a bit overkill on only my CPU till now.

Here's to hoping they all OC equally !

I'm worried that the power limits on the Aircooled cards will be lower than the Watercooled cards.
Thats why I'd be happy if I could flash an Aircooled card with a Watercooled card's BIOS.
That way, just a standard Sapphire Vega 64 would do the trick. :)

You'd have to be crazy to buy a Vega at this point.

You can find 1080Tis for 600 and it's arguably superior in every way to vega.

For 4K you may be right, I have certainly thought about buying one instead for this reason.

Personnally I am very behind on my Steam library & playing catch up and even my Fury is managing max detail 4K locked 60 fps in all the games I am currently playing, so maybe Vega will be fine with a few settings tweaks once I reach the newer games.
- Admittedly I started playing this way because Fury cannot handle newer games so well. Its been fun so far too

Once temptation bites for newer games I will buy what can do it at that time (with a mild leaning to supporting the underdog for a brighter future ;) )
