Is it just me or does something not add up with Vegas performance.

I've been thinking about this since the release.
The thermals are quite OK, even for the reference model, so I have no idea where those 300W+ go.
Btw.: New here, hi all 🙂.

Raising the voltage limitations and power threshold probably helps nicely, guessing that's good for third party GPU models whenever those actually come out. 🙂
(Availability on the stock models are already pretty poor though, these are probably going to be even worse so yay? )

I think that AMD could be "afraid" that unlocking this extra performance could kill the card early, so they unlock it only on the best batches.
Edit: welcome Vananovion 🙂

Yeah read this two days ago and shared it in the Vega thread. Still, free performance with a vBIOS flash usually has it's fans and applications 😉
BLEH!
I've got my Fury still after 3 solid years, runs cool and quiet thanks to the aftermarket cooler. Runs happily at stock clocks but undervolted and with a -40% power setting, so draws about 165W or so. I'd rather be on the lower end of power consumption with good performance than a bit more oomph at the cost of huge power draw.

Wonder if it has anything to do with HBM clock.

I was reading this as if people were flashing the 56 BIOS on to the 64. Really confused me lol. The use of "into" really got me.
