AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 Review Sample Unboxed
The folks at Techgage have already put out some unboxing pictures on AMD's RX Vega 64 review sample. There's not much more new information here - however, it's an opportunity to see how lavish AMD has become with their review sampling. Gone are the times of cardboard boxes, it seems. AMD may be spending more on packaging and presentation for the review samples than for actual R&D on the graphics cards (I kid, obviously.)
The review packaging is top-notch, as you can see from the pictures, with premium packaging and overall presentation. The Vega 64 graphics card is your usual, reference-design blower-cooler style. AMD is even including a dud Vega 64 die, like they did on Threadripper review samples - though these aren't laser engraved with the reviewing publication. I'd love to get my hands on one of these for sure. There are also two Vega stickers and a wristband, supposedly for reviewers to control access to their own parties.

that nice and blocky shroud means two cards right next to each other would be in an ugly place.
This time would be "spend $1200 for two rx vega cards so you can barely beat $700 1080ti".
That doesn't sound too appealing to the customer.
1080ti is %30 faster than rx vega.
Cfire can give you between 0% and %80 fps boost.
Roughly %50 over single RX Vega.
So like I said it will barely beat the 1080ti and the crossfire setup will set you back $1200 vs $700 for the 1080ti.
What is so difficult to understand here ?
