If we were asked for a slightly better equipped RX Vega64 and if the range of such cards were more diversified, we would probably call the Asus RX Vega64 Strix OC. Where and how exactly the map is positioned, today's test ... Board layout
Like Gigabyte and Sapphire, Asus is extremely different from AMD's reference layout, which should make the use of existing full-cover water coolers impossible. Asus relies on 6 phases with Doubling, so that in... With a current BIOS and the newer drivers, the peculiarities of the benchmark results, as we were able to see during the review of the Sapphire RX Vega64 Nitro+, finally disappear completely and the maps now do exactly what you can from... The overall picture does not change much, even if the Vega cards break in a little more in a few games. But then it almost doesn't matter if reference or board partner card. Shared suffering is half suffering, although it is never a real d... Power consumption at different loads
The power consumption in the gaming loop is at the measured approx. 275 watts in Balanced Mode about 5 watts below what could be measured at the reference in the default BIOS. This is all the more astonishing because ... Overclocking and undervolting
The conventional overclocking by means of an even higher power limit and more clock counteracts the current cooling concept, because the rather quiet cooler gets along quite well with what it has to dismount ex works. More on the other hand... Cooling system and backplate
Of course, the generated waste heat is directly related to the recorded power, for which the cooling solution is responsible for optimum dissipation. And this is precisely where we are faced with minor problems, which we are... How and where can we classify the Asus RX Vega64 Strix OC now? The map is in itself quite a solid story, apart from the hot tension converters. The quality of the workmanship is neat and the component selection is ...
With a current BIOS and the newer drivers, the peculiarities of the benchmark results, as we found in the review of the Sapphire RX Vega64 Nitro+, finally disappear completely and the maps now do exactly what you expect from them. Anyone who is already wondering at this point why we have not significantly overclocked is to refer to the sections cooling and noise generation, because the closed construction quickly reveals the limits of such a project.
Benchmark results in 2560 x 1440 pixels (WQHD)
First, we test in the WQHD resolution, because we assume that with this card you will mainly use the medium high resolutions. At least AMD has these players firmly in mind as a target group. The advantage in the real achieved clock compared to the reference map is usually not excessively large and thus the subjectively noticeable performance increase is rather manageable. After all, the Asus RX Vega64 is consistently faster – once more and once less.
