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.

Yeah, will be quite the heater alright. But hey, I already turn the heating off in my gaming room during winter time. On the flip side, I run AC almost all the time during summer, so no savings sadly.
ops:
Nice to see some custom Vega cards finally popping though.

I really wanted AMD to have success in both cpu and gpu, ryzen was a great success IMO, Vega not so much.

That true compared to my old HD7870 it wicked fast and I wasn't buy the fastest as they where out of my $400 budget when I purchase the Vega 56 on Nov 2 the same day as the review come for the 1070 Ti other then that I would had to wait 2/3 more months just get a that one.

An early April fools day joke from Scan computers UK - piss takers or what?
8GB Gigabyte Radeon RX Vega 56, 14nm, 3584 Streams, 1156MHz, 1471MHz Boost, 800MHz HBM2, DP/HDMILN84150
I see more people waste energy boiling a kettle, ' full of water for one cup or two, ' and this is repeatedly, day in day out!

I still like the idea of HBM2, just not enough of it about causing delays ...... and reflecting on prices. Poor ole amd jumped through the hoop too fast. If the price is right I to would like one of these cards SAPPHIRE Radeon RX Vega 64 NITRO .
Power wise, unless your drinking gallons of coffee that keep you gaming 24/7 the cost in electric has been proved futile. Turn the heating down in your room, cost recovered

It's certainly going to cost at the very least that much over here, probably more. Thus such a price wouldn't be shocking in my eyes, only disgusting.

Yes that sad that the prices are high over there that would have been $650 US dollar but it wasn't as I didn't have to pay for sale tax that would add more on top it, where your VAT is part of cost all ready add in to final price which could be why it sky high here.

The vega 56 was fairly priced at OCUK and I would still take one over a 1070 Ti. Last looked sometime last week
The one from scan uk is either a mistake or they are taking the piss - looked this morning
from the same company - you can buy the vega 64 for the same price!
8GB Gigabyte Radeon RX Vega 64, 14nm, 4096 Streams, 1247MHz, 1546MHz Boost, 945MHz HBM2, DP/HDMI
Therefore they have made a stupid mistake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
