Hi all! We only have V56 right now, but buying V64. Andrew was off this weekend, so I had to shoot & edit this one myself. I am not as good at the fancy chart effects as he is, but he'll be back in tomorrow for the other videos! Full article is here: www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews/3020-amd-rx-vega-56-review-undervoltage-hbm-vs-core

@Judge_OnYouTube 7 лет назад

Man, thanks to you and your team for putting out this much content! Deeply appreciate the work and level of detail you put in! It helps us as buyers make well informed decisions.

@jackblack1306 7 лет назад

You guys are amazing and underappreciated. Keep it up.

@martigrey5872 7 лет назад

Gamers Nexus Why can't you overclock Vega 56? In other tests (computerbase.de for example) got 14% performance with 950mhz for the HBM and 1.720 for core.

@GamersNexus 7 лет назад

Yosyp There's always more with hardware!

@catalin-viorelbriceag1097 7 лет назад

I wonder why the hell did AMD shove so much voltage into these GPUs. The power consumption is insane! Any Vega GPU can be safely undervolted AND overclocked AND still be stable in any application.

@TroidHunter 7 лет назад

Polaris is the same, so i'm not sure.

@TroidHunter 7 лет назад

You might think that, but some partner variants of the 480 benefitted from undervolting much the same way that the reference design did. The power limits were too low to support the clock and voltage much of the time. I know that was definitely an issue with my XFX RS 480 8GB, but when i changed to the strix model I didn't encounter the same issue.

@bongdelonge8668 7 лет назад

It seems excessive for sure, but I think that's because not all silicon chips are equal. They run higher voltages to make sure all cards are stable across the board, same with Intel and Nvidia, although their overvolts aren't as extreme.

@Neil3D 7 лет назад

When there are outlets like this, and probably others just as capable of this quality of content, it infuriates me to my core that OEMs continue to send samples to (not naming any names) polished turd 'tech' channels, who have absolutely nothing to offer to the conversation other than flashing a product in front of the eyes of dreamers. This is quality usable and valuable information, just reading off a spec sheet and then blindly playing some random games is criminal when you see how much work goes into this channel.

@GamersNexus 7 лет назад

TFI Thanks, TFI!

@Neil3D 7 лет назад

Can't emboss logos/images I'm afraid, they're not vector based so the detail in the picture can't be used as profiles. Could possibly do it with third party software image manipulation but it would be a right chore! I'll have a think about it though, cheers!

@Neil3D 7 лет назад

Yea that was also me! That was my sheet metal laser etching video, the Corsair logo is basically just some simple shapes, so I think I ran it through one of those raster to vector online converters and used the converted lines. That's easy enough but a more complex image with art and colours, not so easy!

@honse246 7 лет назад

What kind of gpu has dual bios, but doesn't allow bios modification ?????

@ShqdowAngel 7 лет назад

Considering the limited time and the amounts of tests you did. 10/10

@jonasgrenne2569 7 лет назад

The more my interest and knowledge for computer hardware grows, the more focus I get on this particular channel. You do twice the work and go way more into details than the other channels. Frankly, I don't know how you manage to get so much more info while still keeping up with the other channels that only skim the surface. If you want pure facts with thorough investigation, you follow gamers nexus. I hope this channel grows exponentially. The glory of Steve's hair is just the cherry on top

@Gamer-df9xt 7 лет назад

I want to say thank you to Gamers Nexus. Your videos are the best when it comes to the details of products. You don't click bait, no stupid jokes, you keep it professional. Out of all the tech channels I watch you are the best!

@Skiiney 7 лет назад

So V56 undervolted with the hbm2 oc+50% power offset is around 210W ? Not that bad tbh

@1toncheese 7 лет назад

its 210W + about 30W for board power draw through the PCIE slot.

@bothellkenmore 7 лет назад

Pretty much my take as well. I'll reserve judgement until there's a decent sample of AIB's.

@Skiiney 7 лет назад

still 240W isnt THAT BAD ... consider you could probably undervolt even further, silicon lottery... my 280x toxic draws about the same...

@christiann6350 5 лет назад

Hell of a lot better than my R9 390. It is a power hog.

@dannygc1205 7 лет назад

the fact you included undervolted results, makes me love you so much, thanks

Gretsky Nut You're the only person to notice!

@bothellkenmore 7 лет назад

I kept staring at that because my Dad was an electrical engineer and brought one home from work to fix an OG TV set. This was a loooong time ago.

@Rocky-bz8wr 7 лет назад

Gamers Nexus I noticed the oscilloscope as well because in one of my past jobs I had to use one of them on a daily basis. I truely do not miss having to pack it around...lol

@Noztra22 7 лет назад

Wow! you made this in 27 hours? i can't even OC my card in a weekend! mate you and your team are awesome!

@coolperson4283 7 лет назад

Thanks for the detailed review covering so much details including gaming benches. Really appreciate all the hard work that you put in this review.

@mrcrunch8000 7 лет назад

It's a shame AMD keeps going with HBM. Vega doesn't seem to be providing performance that needs memory faster than gddr5x. If this released almost a year ago using gddr5x at a cheaper price due to the savings on vram they would have hit it out the park and probably beat nvidia in sales in that segment. You would also get a decent power savings going to gddr5x which seems to be welcome. I'm sure it will get better with time but volta also comes in time.

@darrenraphael 7 лет назад

Michael Hatch They can't use gddr5x because it has higher power consumption than hbm. The last time they tried using ggdr5 with gcn was the r9 390x which had a really high power range.

@BRUXXUS 7 лет назад

Thank you for doing this! I know what it's like having to put off sleep to meet crazy deadlines so I figured I'd show my appreciation for the hard work and fantastic content you provide. :)

@DanielMendozaDev 7 лет назад

Those undervolting results are quite impressive considering the gains you got for playing with the card for such a short time. Power consumption is still quite bad out of the box but it seems like performance can go way higher with some moderate OC (anyone hoping for 1700MHz on core?). This was a great review man, but take a little rest if you have the change: we'll be here to watch your videos and comment on your findings.

@methanoid 7 лет назад

Great vid. Watched many of your vids but how different your review was (such as including undervolting) was what made me subscribe. Good job!!

@DaveImagery 7 лет назад

Is there a pulitzer prize for RU-vid? GN should get one :)

@JohnDCrafton 7 лет назад

Steve, if AMD doesn't give you enough time to review properly, that's on them, not on you. Please don't work yourself to death trying to get these reviews out "on time."

@romxxii 7 лет назад

He's competing against other outlets which got all the samples they needed to produce reviews for both the 56 and 64. Linus even got a copy of the hybrid version.

@JohnDCrafton 7 лет назад

If you look at the reviews most of those other guys are doing (like Linus, since you mentioned him) you'll see Steve's reviews are on a whole other level, so they're really not competing. Like I said, it's AMD's fault, and Steve shouldn't be trying to kill himself just to make up for AMD's mistakes and meet the embargo date.

@mindtrappergr2 7 лет назад

Yeah, I don't think companies are that happy to have such detailed reviews coming out so soon. Especially for the 56 card, which still has two weeks to hit the stores. Unless they have a clear and undisputed winner of a card, which AMD currently does not.

@patrickm.4754 7 лет назад

But it's on him when he'd pissed them off so much so, that they didn't bother sending him v64.

@GamersNexus 7 лет назад

Patrick Tritip Actually, we made our point and they heard it. They sent V56 after we did. They asked if we'd like V64, but told them to only send V56 as we were against an impossible time window already.

@Phambleton 7 лет назад

I wish people would give AMD a try, but instead all I can see in the comment section is a dismissive tone towards the Vega release such as "It didn't even beat the 1070, FAIL" even though this was only in a few games. I don't think Vega is a disaster as the Vega 64 gained around 52% in performance over the R9 Fury X, which is incredible considering - and Nvidia also shared a similar value from their 980 Ti to 1080 Ti upgrade, being 56%. Rather than jumping to conclusions, why can't we just see what it does and work out whether it has value for money? Keep in mind that the GTX 1070 has had a year to mature, so it's not exactly ideal to compare this to a brand new product as of now. In a few months I'd like to see a revisit on Vega benchmarks and see if my argument is correct.

@DaBombDiggidy88 7 лет назад

Thanks for keeping the tech review scene about the tech and not the hype.

@bugraozkan8137 7 лет назад

To be honest, this is the best review I have ever watched on this card. Thanks Steve!

@tsalapbeew 7 лет назад

No worries Steve, your review, even without the oced or undervolted versions on games, are still more informative and in-depth compared to the other reviews out there so far! I highly appreciate your and your crew's work. I am amazed of the quality of this vid and it does not matter if the other tests are to follow. Keep up the good work!!!

@Beehj84 7 лет назад

Best Vega 56 review so far, period. Fantastic work guys. Shared with my tech/gaming groups.

@papa_xan 7 лет назад

10:53 "Accurate misreporting", is that like fake news?

@Vaasref 7 лет назад

No it's just electronic sarcasm. Thermocouples are really sarcastics.

@sergiojacas8268 7 лет назад

Great work on the review. Extremely in depth, coming from a very different angle than other review sites. Some of the other quality sites are a bit stuck in a rut of reviewing. You like to push the boundaries on every review, I am always surprised by what you come up with, keep on challenging the status quo.

@tuhin619 7 лет назад

Great initial review covering all the aspects. I request you to change graph presentation, numbers overlap each other and are not clearly visible.

@zeronine-eightyfour 7 лет назад

THanks for the in depth review at such short notice! It has to be said!

@phatpanda3805 7 лет назад

i love this Chan, honestly i wait for Steve's reviews the most out of everyone's. By far the most comprehensive & detailed.

@swiftlaker6 7 лет назад

Awesome work, I love how in-depth and informed your reviews are

@Nekrosmas 7 лет назад

Good job Steve! Always nice to see your fair (and unique) reviews :)

@MrSnowmobiling 7 лет назад

Thanks for your review Steve! I look forward to more videos about this and Vega 64 similar to what you did with Vega FE. It looks like undervolting the card gets it under control power wise and isn't a 300W heater.

@SuperSkillzSlick 7 лет назад

Solid review as per usual. Can't wait for the rest of your videos of VEGA.

@petersnizek4700 7 лет назад

best review so far. Really enjoyed watching it. Thanks! Looking forward to Part II. :-)

@dazouri3249 7 лет назад

Steve Great stuff! Thanks for the effort you put into this. You're looking at all of this stuff differently than anyone else does. No enthusiast should be unsubscribed from this channel. This is the data that matters. All the rest tell me things I can see for myself by playing the games. You're explaining WHY we see the results we do, and WHAT we can do to improve it. BRAVO!!! Daz

@sheikhtashdeedahmed 7 лет назад

Thank you so much Steve and Team! Lots of Love!

@ichiban844 7 лет назад

really cool review!

@alexanderarias8519 7 лет назад

Man power and thermals are overlooked in many ways with reviews glad to see extensive charts on these figures its an eyeopener for sure. I am definitely going to buy an AIB Vega 56 as soon as they drop one!

@SomeNerd361 7 лет назад

So, long story short, AMD is over-volting their cards. Sounds like something they could fix with a Driver Update, I'd imagine.

@gscheben123 7 лет назад

GN: Thanks again for a great review. Your effort is always appreciated. Look forward to more when you get the time. Cheers.

@Slyizable 6 лет назад

Still an awesome review. I'm really looking forward to build in my Vega 56.

@vmhntrd 7 лет назад

That you so much for the info on BIOS. Most useful embargo video by far

@slikrx 7 лет назад

Great job! Too bad about the whole locked BIOS, but thanks for pointing this out and keeping is posted.

@chukku2175 7 лет назад

Thanks a lot for the hard work, you put into this. Even if you didn´t have much time, this video actually provides more interesting information than a lot reviews from other sources. The Undervoltage hints at some serious OC Potential for this card.. sad to see, that the 300W Hardlimit prevents it. Let´s hope that the custom design will have better BIOS(ses?).

@RyanJones-lv9dj 7 лет назад

+Gamers Nexus Will you guys be doing any more MC note block adaptations of Star Craft music? Definitely my favorite video of yours.

@dawhitewolf 7 лет назад

Will you be doing hybrid mod for this one? Lack of bios modifications is real dealbreaker. Hopefully somehow board partners will *FIX* it. Considering the time you got for reviewing the card, 10/10 for content. All the information that gamers are intrested in is present. Thank you for such indepth review. Heading towards article now.

@Tearjargon 7 лет назад

Good stuff from GN as always.

@DavidTheReaper 7 лет назад

Amazing job man!. My favorite channel, by far.

@Rocky-bz8wr 7 лет назад

Great Video as always. For the amount of time you had you got a lot of information packed into the video Thank you. The overclocking part of RX Vega will be interesting to see what can be done and how far it will go. It is also very interesting that under volting got a bit higher core clocks. It is also apparent that the RX Vega 56 is memory bandwidth starved since over clocking the memory got a good gain in performance it also will be the same with the RX Vega 64 I feel HBM memory tech may be holding back AMD's performance a bit but that is just my own thoughts on it all. I could be off base here.

@Moshe_Dayan44 7 лет назад

Thanks for the comprehensive overview of Vega! I'm pretty pumped to find out how well Vega's 'rapid packed math' boosts gaming performance over Pascal. If it really does double FP output (2xFP16 vs. 1xFP32), that should really boost AMD's performance/watt figures. As soon as any benchmarks/games (maybe a preview of Wolfenstein II: New Colossus) software becomes available, it would be great to see a video covering this.

@BrianMcKee 7 лет назад

So this card has potential undervolted and with a higher power target. Sounds good! Given the price of gsync I think you can forgive the higher powerdraw.

@smokeydops 7 лет назад

thanks for all the detail GN

@BitsBeTrippin 7 лет назад

Were doing a livestream today on Vega 64 covering mining performance. Bottom line, looking like this one will be no good on the mining scene.

@Najvalsa 7 лет назад

Putting out this much information in the time you had.. Champions.

@conandude76 7 лет назад

Both reviewers I take seriously did vega 56. One shows it beating the galax factory oc'd 1070 on almost all games, and the other shows the ref 1070 crapping on the vega 56 in the same games. Hmm. Wonder if it's a res thing. Seems like Paul's HW was showing vega as beating a third party 1070 at 440p, but not so much at 1080 or 4k. Maybe that has something to do with it. great vid as always steve!!

@NightRogue77 7 лет назад

Your channel is so boss man you blow my mind lol. I've learned more watching your vids alone than I could reading for 5 hours. Ku-dos

@NightRogue77 7 лет назад

Also I don't understand why you don't get samples man that crap is a travesty

@ccmaster86 7 лет назад

I wonder how the HBCC will be utilized in future games. The only use case I could imagine would be that you could load an entire games textures into memory instead of swapping. Which would be pretty cool. Just don't think there are games that can use the other tech that's in Vega besides just the Stream Processors.

@riffsnreviews 7 лет назад

Steve, why don't you manipulate the space time continuum and make so that there's enough time to do everything in the 27 hours that you've had the card ?

@crimsun7186 7 лет назад

When we're gonna see a comprehensive review of that sweet analog oscilloscope though? Does it have HBM? How many FPS you get from it? Can you mod it? What's the VRM of it?

@Marc-pu1wm 7 лет назад

Hey, your channel is awesome!! I watch it all the time. You guys do very great in-depth work on this stuff but I'm curious...When's the last time you tested the 1080??? Those numbers look a little old, I could be wrong because I don't have the reference card on your list, but a couple months back when you guys were heavy into the 1080ti, Nvidia released a shitload of 1080 updates and I personally was seeing about 15-25fps increases in several games...I recall an overnight huge increase in 4k Doom Vulkan performance a little while back. Anyway, just saying it may be worth it to go back and look at those numbers, my guess is they haven't been updated since the launch of the card. Again, of course, I could always be wrong. Keep up the cool shit guys.

@HimTortons 7 лет назад

Steve, awesome review and you don't need justify anything about it. You only had 27 hours and you still made a 25 minute review. Im really looking forward to to the rest of the conclusions with the undervolted benchmarks!

@GamersNexus 7 лет назад

HimTortons You know, that's an interesting way to look at things - one minute of content for every hour of work, and probably pretty close to accurate!

@HimTortons 7 лет назад

Gamers Nexus Yeah, thats true and its insane. And once again I want you to know, that its much appreciated!

@VetteTTV12 7 лет назад

Seriously amazing video, you're the best tech channel out there.

@Toastmaster_5000 7 лет назад

I wish more reviewers would look into undervolting. Seems like a great way to save power, reduce heat, reduce fan noise, and if you don't go too low you'll get better stability. I feel like AMD is really hurting their reputation with the safe stock voltages they supply.

@RadoVod 7 лет назад

Steve, sometimes you blow every other reviewer out of the water when it comes to the thoroughness of hardware. Undervolting and numbers for these along with power draw, temperatures and noise. Only thing I miss is more games, but that's about it. I think you really improved a hell of a lot over the last time both when it comes to the analysis of numbers and informative content on this channel. Here, have my sub back.

@GamersNexus 7 лет назад

EwoksOwnDeathstar It's a long road and there's an impossible amount to know, but we are working every day to try and improve in every way. We hear you on the games. Will try to add one more, at least. We were already down to the wire on this one, but maybe with more time!

@davidgunther8428 7 лет назад

why is everyone freaking out over slightly higher power use (20%)? you guys are overclockers right? efficiency always goes out the window when you overclock

@charlesballiet7074 7 лет назад

so an AIB vega 56 with unlocked voltage and better cooling sounds tempting

@photonboy999 7 лет назад

I do think LOCKING overclocking beyond a certain point is a good thing. There was a problem with RELIABILITY as companies kept pushing things to the limit to get that last percentage point for overclock. Then you get damaged cards, RMA issues, and a tarnished reputation for AMD (and NVidia). Sure, when it is your own card and you in theory COULD get more performance that sucks a bit but I would rather feel comfortable knowing my top-end card was likely to last 4+ years rather than sometimes just a few months. *Besides, for the true enthusiast there have been unlocked cards such as K1ngpin offers. Not sure if AMD or NVidia authorized that but they exist at least. Finally, overclocking that last bit can often make a game STUTTURE more due to the frequency fluctuating so getting the highest CLOCK and the best EXPERIENCE do not always match up.

@TheyCallMeMrMaybe 7 лет назад

Your information on BIOS flashing and overclocking is very helpful to those looking go buy. Its unfortunate to know AMD is actively preventing flashing to prevent people from unlocking Vega 56's full potential.

@Nathan-gj8ch 7 лет назад

To bypass power limit on a Nvidia card you just solder over one or all the shunt resistors. I did it on a msi gaming g4 970 and a zotac 1080-1070 works fine.

@MrDavidRicketts 7 лет назад

So it looks like undervolting is the solution for pushing more performance. I'd like to see the wattage be closer to 150w

@CaptianFlan 7 лет назад

Steve, at 3:20 you mention a power table hack for Vega FE. Where can I learn more about that? Tried googling with no luck.

@jimsinnovations2737 6 лет назад

@kennerd9312 7 лет назад

The bios locking is more against the miners. They will use custom bios for the max overclocking/performance they can while they have a given card to get the best possible hash rates. If you look on ebay, you can get custom mining bios's for a given card all day long for 20$ per given model. I hope they will unlock the bios at some point so us enthusiasts dont also get hosed in the process.
