Hey all! We are LIVE STREAMING an OC + undervolting demonstration of Vega today. We think it'll start around or just before 4PM EST (8PM GMT).

@proesterchen 7 лет назад

Cool, can't wait!

@qlum 7 лет назад

So what time is it 4PM EST = 9PM GMT or did you mean 4PM EDT which is the current time in the us east coast and equals 8PM gmt / 9PM BST So basically in one hour or in 2 hours. from now

@matthewfennell7886 7 лет назад

Wait, where? If on RU-vid you can schedule it so it appears in my sub box saying when (in hours) and give notifications.

@KtotheL 7 лет назад

wheres the link ?

@matthewfennell7886 7 лет назад

Ivy Nat I did, I was following it as it was going along. It's not a rumour just a typical AMD launch. 🔥 We shall see.

@skrauthauser 7 лет назад

I'm frankly amazed that you got this done inside of the day and a half that you had this card. Thanks for the awesome content, Steve!

@Averna222 7 лет назад

@bassbatterer 7 лет назад

Hey Steve, do you guys have any news about if AIB cards will have to have the bios lock? or is there a chance of bios flashing those cards?

@GamersNexus 7 лет назад

We've been asking. Waiting to hear back.

@HectorDomino. 7 лет назад

I am not AMD user, but still a Big Fat *Like* to this video for your wonderful job Steve. Keep up the Great Work, as you are the only one doing Tear-Down videos. Thank You. Cheers!

@MaxySnake 5 лет назад

Hello!!! Nice video. Repasting with a higher quality tim like MX4 2019, and undervolting, does it provide better thermals overall or it's the same?

@bakadeshi_aunstudios 7 лет назад

Was the pcb board length mentioned in the video or did I miss it? I am planning to liquid cool it, but it's s smaller inwin 301 matx case with rad taking up some of the space up front. I barely fit the msi rx 470 board in there with about half inch space left. I was hoping they used smaller pcb like with fury considering it uses hbm.

@Mattias8612 7 лет назад

Hi Steve, thank you for a very good and high quality video. Regarding the fan, do you know what kind of bearing it has inside? Rifle, Ball? Maybe not so important, but would be nice to know for us ITX guys : )

@zemariosanches 6 лет назад

What thickness of thermal pad should I use for maintenance?

@gogigagagagigo4389 5 лет назад

Is there any way i can keep the cooling fins and just put a new 120mm cooler on that?

@Vladek16 7 лет назад

I have a pro tech toolkit but i still don't know where am i supposed to attach the over end of the anti static wrist band ^^

@evakuierterigel251 4 года назад

Is it possible to leave the fan ob and just take the metal Front cover oft AS you did in the Vega FE?

@palesmichael 5 лет назад

Helo there. Are all the reference cards (blower style, similar looking, black) the same PCB? Meaning the powercolor should be the same as this one?

@CroAuslander 4 года назад

@Gamers Nexus how did you manage to unpin the power plug for the fan? I'm having such trouble with it...

@SakiSkai 5 лет назад

What if you remove the plastic shroud and add a high pressure fan on top of that heatsink?

@TheJhonnaruto 3 года назад

minhas vegas 56 custom gigabyte oc nao passam de 44mhs nem a pau ja testei varios timings e over e nada... alguma dica? fora que elas consomem uns 50w a mais q as vega fan blower..

@andreaslegomovies 7 лет назад

Man, the sharpie jokes - silly perhaps, but really funny :D

@enriqueemanuelsanchezustar5724 2 года назад

Somebody know what size of thickness thermal pads use the Rx Vega 56 phantom gaming?

@kcvriess 7 лет назад

Is it possible to only remove the top of the shroud in order to easily clean out the fan and cooling fins with a can of compressed air. You you void your warranty that way?

@Lolimaster 7 лет назад

Can you do undervolt tests and undervolt + 50-100Mhz less? How efficient you can make them with some extra tweak?

@andyzhang2331 7 лет назад

whats that thing that hes wearing on his right wrist and how to use it ? i got one from the tool kit as well but i dont even know what it is

@alexalcalaortiz368 7 лет назад

i have only seen warranty void stickers on nvidia cards my HD 7950 and RX 460 did not have any stickers

@martigrey5872 7 лет назад

alex alcala ortiz my Nano hast one too. for AMD only reference cards have them. Never seen them on 6950/7870/7950/390x from sapphire but I believe my 6950 reference had one

@alexalcalaortiz368 7 лет назад

well i will just keep buying sapphire then

@hadi8561 7 лет назад

Did you ever try to do a bios hack on your RX 460? I'm mildly impressed with mine, the only game where I wish I could get more fps is Deus Ex Mankind Divided, otherwise after I hacked the bios and found the overclock sweet spot and scoring 6800 pts on firestrike, I'm glad I saved the money on a cheaper card so I can make a bigger upgrade later on.

@alexalcalaortiz368 7 лет назад

i had it unlocked for a while but driver updates fucked me so right now im using the original one

@nottheengineer4957 7 лет назад

alex alcala ortiz Warranty void stickers are illegal in most places anyways (US and EU for sure, idk about the rest of the world) and you will still get full warranty if it is broken.

@LordDeadSpider 2 года назад

Just took apart my Vega 56 to reapply thermal paste and the thermal pads did not survive 😞 Not having any luck finding replacement thermal pads by google searching as I am a bit lost to begin with. Can anyone point me into the right direction?

@ItsReaxxion 5 лет назад

i just died when he said "here is the Team Rocket Fan" at 11:13 xDDDDD

@aaronbigleman7326 7 лет назад

After taking the card apart to test thermals, do you apply a different thermal paste? Does using a different paste from the factory effect the results by any noticeable difference?

@enriqueemanuelsanchezustar5724 2 года назад

know the thickness of thermal pads?

@NikolaPlivelic 7 лет назад

@jstab4855 6 лет назад

Does anyone know why the limited edition backplate has cuts in it for airflow and the black one doesn't. Does it help trap mod heat. Can u run the card with both and see if the cuts help....

@jstab4855 6 лет назад

More heat sorry not mod heat...

@generalgeldenhuys7175 7 лет назад

So, we got the stripped down version of Vega Frontier Edition with almost no changes, apart from the few disabled CU's which didn't made it through the process. Do you say this card is more value in terms of hardware quality and components. It will be able to keep longer without blowing up like the Nvidia cards do? I had 2, a GT640 and GTX750ti, both didn't keep up to 2 years before burning out with overclock. Have a GTX770 now and decided to not overclock it and it is now keeping longer than 3 years.

@Bannockburn111 7 лет назад

You overclocked a GT640? Why? Seems like that would be about as sensible as putting a fourth wheel on a tricycle. As far as dumping all Nvidia cards into a "fail before AMD cards" kind of statement, well, I have a GTX 680 Classified, the version that you could overvolt as well as overclock right out of the box, and it is still alive, still performing like new. So maybe your "early failures" have more to do with 1)overclocking cards really not intended for that purpose and 2) more related to the brand than the manufacturer of the GPU itself. (And if your warranties were shorter than 2 years I'd suggest the brand was suspect, no decent manufacturer has a warranty less than 3 years.)

@Bobalazs 6 лет назад

thanks for the review.

@ingblackberi 7 лет назад

@nihadasadli2642 7 лет назад

Am i the only who thinks AMD's reference design cards look way cooler than Nvidia's?

@jakesullivan3017 7 лет назад

Nihad Asadli yes you are

@UnacceptableViews 7 лет назад

yep.. there's no comparison..

@roikhanulyahamidan9978 7 лет назад

that is subjective, but im agree with you since i don't like transformers like design on Nvidia's FE cards, i like it more simple and elegant.

@frankmoolah 7 лет назад

You're a minority

@ekmekmckek4522 7 лет назад

I have to agree. AMDs reference cards look much better now than they did a few years back while nVidia made a big visual downgrade with their 10 series.

@derhenker6629 5 лет назад

Will it work with two Noctua case Vans if the Original Cooler is removed. I dont Want to buy a Morpheus... is searching for s Chester sulution.

@Johnson0717 5 лет назад

No you need to buy a headsink if you don't want your gpu to be running at 165c

@BruDavaloredgeBenchmarks 7 лет назад

Will a Nzxt G12 bracket fit on it so you can put an AIO cooler on it?

@jakesullivan3017 7 лет назад

BruDavaloredge probably eventually. But then get the 64 water for 80 more (100 aio + 20 bracket)

@Kytes93 7 лет назад

so what logo was that on the fan?

@titan_fx 7 лет назад

"resist, resist!" lol make my day tho

@JIVRAJKARANDE 7 лет назад

@GamersNexus what are you thoughts on $400 and $500 price of the vega gpus being the introduction/early adopters price? The possibility that AMD might hike up the prices for vega 64 and 56,and how it might affect the sales of the gpu and positioning of the vega gpus?

@KtotheL 7 лет назад

thanks fer the video

@trenchXspike 7 лет назад

i suspect the Vega Instinct and the various firepro workstation cards use the same or similar PCB too with exception to the one that has a built in SSD. I doubt they'd save enough money doing otherwise.

@DeepRafterGaming 7 лет назад

So why are reffrence cards from both sides of the island allways blower style?

@michelvanbriemen3459 7 лет назад

Why get a Vega 56 when you can get a Nintendo 64?

@roikhanulyahamidan9978 7 лет назад

or athlon 64

@bolinar6434 7 лет назад

Why not Commodore 128, games where then still games. And no stupid green vs. red stuff. They are just gpus not womans who youre trying to compete with :) Rest after this can be igored mostly :) And also i dont understand fanboy stuff anyway, its just waste of effort and time. Witch ever make better GPu bang for the buck is the winner any given time. sadly Nvidia is not best for bang for the buck in any given time currently way too overprised. Even they are good cards. Also its stupid to have 2 competing "tecnicues" like Gsync Freesync in general for whole market. And that can be thanked most parst on amd /nvidia the coin miners partly. And way overpised GPU prices in EU :9

@roikhanulyahamidan9978 7 лет назад

Bolinar Freesync is opensource unlike Gysnc, Nvidia can make their cards supported it if they want.

@bolinar6434 7 лет назад

Yeah i know that, but for now its just oveprised monitors if you wnat gsync :)

@yulusleonard985 7 лет назад

Just watch Adored TV review. Its possible for AIB to release two difrent card. One is the low tdp version and the other one standard version. The lower TDP version will be using less VRM and mosfet with the downside of unable to be overcloced. It will be 6/8 pin card. It is probably the vega nano since sfx psu rarely have more than 8 pin pcie power cable.

@Heinrich4X 7 лет назад

Amazing! Please game reviews !!!!

@threenic6645 7 лет назад

Very interested in a hybrid mod on vega when you have the time please please please... good luck GN thanks for the videos

@Qyngali 7 лет назад

It's also more expensive to design a separate PCB for Vega 56 for the low run reference cards.

@KahlDragonborn 7 лет назад

Hey Steve, How long have you been up man? You look like you have been going for atleast 24 hours straight!!

@SumanjiTube 6 лет назад

Why is this card so much larger than the R9 Fury?

@3lectronic0 7 лет назад

This card could have been much smaller, with another cooler design. I hope they announce the specifications of Nano version very soon...

@AltarenGalil 7 лет назад

Such a nice and clean pcb

@cataria3903 7 лет назад

it is to long though, i said it before and i say it again: they should have used a short pcb and put the fan extra not mounted on the pcb, this would also had other advantages like prettier shorter waterblocks and blower style fans that can suck air in from both sites of the card.

@sieonigh 7 лет назад

hybrid mod?

@Arlyon9999 7 лет назад

@ae86manny 7 лет назад

love the sharpie joke

@Degalfox 7 лет назад

wonder if that vaperchamber will fit on a ref RX 480

@alexanderarias8519 7 лет назад

I think the mounting points are farther apart since the die is much bigger than the rx480/580 die

@Degalfox 7 лет назад

dont really think they are. the r9 fury uses the same mount spacing as an rx480 and the die size of the fury and vega is pretty similar

@PFAlt 7 лет назад

They won't fit on those midrange Polaris chips. They have smaller dies and different mounting points since they don't have HBM. The Fury line is the only other consumer cards that have ever featured HBM other than Vega. Those might be able to be modded to fit it.

@Degalfox 7 лет назад

the only issues there could really be are Z height, mount spacing and the orientation of the actual silicon. the cores are both dead center of the mounting points so if the spacing is the same and the Z height is close enough it should fit because how much smaller Polaris is. just a curious question honestly and given that it's a blower style it probably wouldn't do much anyway.

@Centbair 7 лет назад

"Team Rocket Fan" AMD is trying to tell us something. Also, hard to tell, but since the HBM is on the chip and the angle shows there is wasted space. Does that mean, might see smaller V56/V64 from board makers?

@danielperkins6462 7 лет назад
