do they make V64 run as fast as 1080ti? No? Well who the hell cares then :D

Can't believe I've waited 6 months for this rubbish, and now stuck with no proper G-Sync monitor till Q4!

You care enough to constantly complain & troll every AMD related article about Vega, don't like it, go get an Nvidia card & a G-sync monitor, problem solved.

Did clean install minimal drivers, why not. I haven't had any stutter watching videos in full screen but can't hurt.

Does Afterburner work with it?

I use Trixx

Sucks that they didn't fix the clock issue with Vega

• With Enhanced Sync enabled Video playback on desktop or YouTube playback in Google Chrome may cause tearing choppy playback.

This god damn thing. This same god damn thing I'm getting on my GeForce and NVIDIA hasn't fixed it despite me reporting it months ago. And AMD fixed it already on a feature they just introduced where NVIDIA can't fix it on ages old feature they already had for long (Fast V-Sync). I'll go ballistic on NVIDIA now...

Mine does at 1700/1080 MHz in BF1. You may want to check on a per game basis - Vega matches the 1080 Ti in more than a couple games.

dnihilistDoes Afterburner work with it?

I thought there was a beta that did work with the new drivers. 4.40 beta 15 I think it was. I could be wrong

Nice to see they are still fixing issues on 300 series GPUs, wait, is that Magnum P.I. ?

dinmasterI thought there was a beta that did work with the new drivers. 4.40 beta 15 I think it was. I could be wrong

Maybe, but that would've been for 17.7.1. I'm asking about 17.8.1.

Still no enhanced sync for Fury X :(

Care to link? And define 'matches'. You seem to play magical games that no reviews look at. I saw it is only 10% away on Doom Vulkan but then if you OC so too does the 1080ti.

In some games it's as far as 50% away. I wouldn't have posted in here but when you post outright nonsense like you do, or cherry pick some extreme example, it's wrong to let it slip.
The forum is about information sharing, not one sided statements. So please, which games does the Vega 64 match the 1080ti frame rates and please compare stock to stock or max OC to max OC.

That should be fixed for RX 500 series etc. now as well:

btarunrFreeSync brightness or flickering issues have been resolved on a small amount of Samsung FreeSync enabled displays that may have been experiencing issues.

Seems it was only fixed on RX Vega before, because that had newer drivers.

I don't see any big game performance improvements for Vega, I bet they are working on it right now among other things.

Capitan HarlockStill no enhanced sync for Fury X :(

I also hope that it will be released for older cards, similar to Radeon Chill, in the next few months. It is a nice new feature.

You are trolling the AMD news, so I don't believe you waited 6 months. Bye!

Atlast driver who actualy works, loading times and fps is beter. Only games who use lot off cpu and games where is lot of stuf are slow on 75w card.

I feel sorry for the koala you chose to represent you, it never wanted this.

These drivers seem to resolve "rendering device lost" crashes in Overwatch that were introduced with 17.7.2 day 2 no crashes for me :)

I would like to know where btarunr found these WHQL drivers. I went to AMD's download page, and version 17.8.1 is still listed as beta (according to the URLs):

[INDENT]Windows 7, 64-bit
www2.ati.com/drivers/beta/radeon-software-crimson-relive-17.8.1-win7-64bit-aug18.exe

Windows 10, 64-bit
www2.ati.com/drivers/beta/radeon-software-crimson-relive-17.8.1-win10-64bit-aug18.exe[/INDENT]

Note the files' directory path: www2.ati.com / drivers / beta / radeon....

Only version 17.7.2 is listed as WHQL:

[INDENT]Windows 7, 64-bit
www2.ati.com/drivers/whql-win7-64bit-radeon-software-crimson-relive-17.7.2-july27.exe

Windows 10, 64-bit
www2.ati.com/drivers/whql-win10-64bit-radeon-software-crimson-relive-17.7.2-july27.exe[/INDENT]

Note that there is no "beta" in the directories' paths, and the files' names start with "whql".

I am not gonna pretend the 1080 Ti doesn't crush Vega in some games, but then again I think it is pretty obvious some of those games simply need some optimizations in the drivers. For instance in Crysis 3 the Fury X matched Vega 64 - let's not pretend that's normal (Even if it is stupid AMD missed that). These games should get some massive boosts soon.

Watch Adored TV's Vega review, I believe Warhammer and some other game showed identical performance. I matched the 1080 Ti in Metro: LL (1080p, max settings) and Deus Ex: MD (Very High, 1080p), but I am not comfortable posting exact numbers on those yet. It's pretty clear Vega isn't always applying the overclocks so I am not sure what is a fluke and what is actually a good overclock yet. I would prefer to wait for TRIXX/MSI AB before I am sure my overclocks are working.


I would also recommend you (and anyone doubting Vega has untapped potential) check out the Overclock.net owners club post. We are probing the architecture quite a bit with some INSANE results. I have never seen a card that responds so well to undervolting - like seriously some people are hitting 1700MHz with -200mV!

It's, like Polaris, all the same, responding that nicely to undervolting because AMD still lacks inbuilt auto voltage tuning, unlike Nvidia who have it since GTX 600 or 700 series (GPU Boost 1.0 or 2.0). Imo they should hurry and copy that too, now that Vega has almost the same Base/Boost/Turbo function that GPU Boost has. Essentially what it's doing, is driving the GPU on lowest voltage possible with highest clocks possible to have the highest efficiency possible at a given max power limit (GPU Boost).

I had a 470 8GB, and please it wasn't close to this. It is performing like a 1080 Ti (instead of an overclocked 1080) and using like 20% less energy. Vega really isn't inefficient at all.

But yeah I agree that AMD still clearly has a lot of work to do on voltage tuning.

As I remember it Polaris had the same uplifts from downvolting, just in another graphics cards performance bracket, so it's comparable, just not in absolute performance, rather in % gain, efficiency wise. But I still concur that Vega has to be voltage tuned, unless you want a power hog out of control. There's a video on Gamer's Nexus (originally it was a live stream), where this was done and the findings were phenomenal. Not only that, but overclocking is impressive too once you learned how to control the voltage. These cards are simply running on very conservative voltage settings stock, so no cards have any errors when delivered and initially used. The difference to nvidia is, they don't need this, as their GPU Boost handles it anyway and tunes every GPU to be as efficient as possible.

PS. Just saw that @btarunr is using the Emperor from Episode 3 now as his avatar. Funny :D
