^ Same cooler is used on their 1080 and 1080Ti STRIX versions.

I also expected a more significant difference in both temperature and noise levels going from the reference Vega 64 to the ASUS Strix version. That Strix cooler has done very well on other GPUs and I really thought it would make more of a difference with Vega 64.

Another bad excuse for a graphics card raised to the sky by AMD and praised by fanboys.

Example Two: Strix > V64 in every regard except power, and stock Strix matches V64+50%PL performance for less power.

None of this lines up with Hilbert's review.
Folks are thinking the review is suspect, considering how Hilbert had "left the thermal compound in there as I need to re-assemble the card fast for further testing.".
Every other preview for this card has shown that it's cooler, and much quieter than the V64 ref while outperforming it with higher average clocks.
Example One: Strix > V64 in every regard except power.

Thanks for clearing up that bit about the TIM. I know I'm not the only one who was reading into that a bit...
At any rate, I'm only commenting on what I've read. I don't own the card, and my only source of information on it is what other outlets have shown us.
It's expected that different outlets have different results, but the main thing that bothers me is the fps delta between the V64 and Strix card.
So far, others show a pretty sizable gap between the two cards. There are a lot of factors that could cause that, sure, but (so far) it seems uncharacteristic.
The Strix card seems to have framerates that perform at the level of the V64 card +50%PL, but well ahead of the bone stock one.
So it's not that your Strix numbers are bad, but that the V64 numbers (by comparison) seem oddly high for an untouched card. But like I said, lots of potential factors.
Anyways I think everyone is waiting for some concrete drivers more than they are unattainable MSRP cards, no matter what the make.
As for my IP, I'm from the GTA. Would be amazed if someone else on this board DIDN'T route through the a nearby hub (aka close to AMD in Markham).

Note to all:
Yesterday Guru3D Published the Radeon RX 64 STRIX review from ASUS. As everybody had noticed card performs awfully similar towards the reference Radeon RX 64 card. This morning I received a phone call from ASUS, asking us if weβd be willing to take down the article for a few days as they have made a mistake. The sample we received did not get a final BIOS for its final clock frequencies and fan tweaking. Ergo, the sample we received carries a default reference BIOS.
Itβs a colossal mistake, but as such the end-results in the review are not representative enough for the final product. ASUS will get the finalized BIOS over once they have finished (likely a day or two) after which we will re-test the card with that final BIOS and thus republish the review. All this explains why the STRIX card was so incredibly close to Vega 64 performance.
Apologies for the inconvenience, but this mistake was not one coming from us.

I hope final non reference Vega cards will outperform 1070/1080 gtx. If not AMD is just as good as closed because Volta is coming. NVidia plays without an opponent right now. "Green" cards are by far not only more performing per buck but also per watt.

Kindly include the stock bios results with the final bios, will be interesting to compare basically the stock reference with a better cooler design (stock bios) with the new bios they will give you. Plus, you already did the work .

Hello, When you do the new review can you please include the Vega Blower and Vega Air cooled models in the testing graphs and also include the Revision info this time,
ie:
Does the Asus Vega Strix use revision C0 or C1, Thankyou. π

Oh ASUS... bet you guys are kinda bummed after that oops stock BIOS.
