MSI: Radeon RX Vega needs a lot of power
Over at some Dutch forums MSI Marketing Director Eric Van Beurden made a bit of a slip of the tongue. In a reaction (written in Dutch) he commented on the specs of the consumer edition(s) Radeon RX Vega.
So he wrote this :
I'm Dutch, my translation would be spot on. He states, I've seen the Radeon RX VEGA specifications, "dang that product needs power". He then states that MSI is working on the card and a launch is pending (which is a bit of an open door alright). He does not mention any detailed specs though.
But board partners thus ARE working actively on Vega and well, we already know that these cards sit in the 250~300 Watt board power region. Perhaps higher?

This is disappointing to say the least. It'll surely not surpass GTX 1080 Ti in gaming performance, and it'll draw way more power than the competition. Meh.

If this is true then I'll pass on Vega. More power means more heat and more electricity which means expensive bills in the long run. And I hate both heat and bills. That being said I hope they will at least deliver some respectful performance. Nvidia became the Intel of GPUs and I don't like it. We all know how it ends for consumers.

If in a vacuum it would be alright...but comparing it to Nvidia, I hope that bitch performs better than a 1080ti or AMD lost, again...
