SAPPHIRE Radeon RX Vega 64 NITRO caught on photo and gets tested
It's been many weeks topic of discussion, when will the Vega 56 and 64 custom cards get out. Albeit we tested the ASUS one already (here), some new content surfaced of a SAPPHIRE Radeon RX Vega 64 NITRO in Asia.
The NITRO Vega has surfaced, and HWBattle posted a bit of a preview of the card. The NITRO RX Vega 64 comes with a triple-fan cooler and of course, has some LED enablement.
This Radeon RX Vega 64, the one with the GPU has 4096 stream processors, holds a custom tri-fan cooler that tries to keep the card at lower temperatures whilst remaining at hopefully a fairly low and inaudible RPM. Judging from the video, that seems to be in order. From the looks of things, only that VEGA chip is the one thing original, as hey the PCB was modified and customized to seat that RX Vega 64 chip with its onboard 8GB of HBM2. The end result is a beefy looking card alright, at three PCIe slots wide.
As you can see from the photos and video, there is no DVI connector port available. No further and or final specification on clock frequencies have been mentioned. You'll notice a whopping 3x 8-pin power connectors, which is a bit silly, to be honest. Early benchmarks (check the chart below) indicate a very small bump in performance over the reference model.

Just pictures of the GPU and box though, no specs but the product prices were added and at 639 Euro for the '56 and 750 Euro for the '64 that's pretty expensive. (As is to be expected for Vega by now I guess, more so for these third party models.)
EDIT: Ah they're listed on the Swedish Komplett store too, dated at December 20th but that might just be placeholder.
(But that that price level the 1080Ti is lower in cost aside from the top-end third party models and water cooled editions.)
(And the regular 1080 or the 1070Ti just kills it in price vs performance ratio.)

Yeah, USD wise that's 750 for the 56 and 882 for the 64 though it's possible the sales price for US retailers will be better but I have no doubt the Vega price will still be inflated compared to what the competition offers making it a very hard sale aside from current miner trends for GPU crypto currencies. (Monero now was it?)
Overpriced as it is as soon as Vega is in stock here they still tend to sell out almost immediately, would look impressive for AMD if said stock wasn't about a dozen cards or so in total each time and that's across every manufacturer currently selling Vega.
Even now months after the GPU' supposed release date availability is still a problem and the price fluctuates heavily but generally always a fair bit above the recommended MSRP so it's kinda hard to recommend these cards at current prices.
(Vega 56 for 700 USD - or higher. - or the 1080 for what, 500? You can probably even get the 1080Ti for less particularly now with multiple models available and readily in stock)

No wonder Overclockers have an absolute crap load of 64s in, as Scan are just hammering them on prices
