Professional Benchmarks: Bonus: Nude Vega https://www.pcper.com/news/Graphics-Cards/Radeon-Vega-Frontier-Edition-GPU-and-PCB-Exposed ----------------------------------------------------- Old Post ----------------------------------------------------- Today pcper gave us a behind the scenes Livestream of their Vega Frontier Edition benchmarking and at the end we got a sneak peek of their gaming results. Please visit pcper.com tomorrow to get the full Story. I will link it here when it goes up! Here are some early gaming results. The benchmarks are not 100% done and more cards & productivity benchmarks will be added. Gaming: 2560x1440: Gaming 3840x2160: Source Video with some timestamps: 1:19h ethminer 1:36h excavator mining 1:42h gaming benchmark results 1:44:45h Ryan Shrout's closing thoughts The first half of the stream is missing. In my opinion the gaming results are not great. It will be hard to price Vega FX competitivly if it uses HBM and only performces a bit better than a GTX 1070.

So, I wanted a card for video editing and since davinci loves memory I thought between a radeon 7 and then stumbled upon a vega FE which is way cheaper like literally half the price of the radeon 7. So, which one should I buy ?? I already have a decent gaming rig.

IN PROGRESS After planning out this build for a while, I've finally bought most of the parts needed. Some have arrived, while others are still being shipped to my house. The last things I need to order are a Vega FE Waterblock/backplate, tubing, and fittings. This will be the first custom water-cooled system that I will have built. Please excuse the weird formatting, as this will be the first time I will be documenting a build. The build *should* be completed around the beginning of next month. PARTS LIST: Received Case: Phanteks Shift X Cpu: Intel i9 9900K Motherboard: Asus Z390-I GPU: AMD Vega FE Storage: Samsung 970 Evo 2TB Peripherals: Logitech MX Master, Corsair K95 Brown Currently in Shipping: Ram: Corsair 2 X 16GB Vengeance RGB DDR4 PSU: Corsair SF-750 Cooling: 4 X Corsair ML 140mm RGB MISC: Corsair Commander Pro, Corsair RGB LED Expansion Kit Storage: Samsung 970 Evo 2TB CPU Waterblock: EKWB Nickel Supremacy EVO RGB Radiator: EK 1 X Coolstream 140 SE, 1X Coolstream 280 SE Pump: EK Xres 100 Revo D5 w/ Glass Reservoir Need to Purchase: Custom PSU cables EK Tubing EK Fittings EK Nickel GPU waterblock/backplate (out of stock) *Pictures if you want to skip all the reading, although I do suggest you read it as it details why I bought what I did This is a mass upload link* CASE: I used to own a Corsair 760T, a rather spacious and well-designed case. However, it was quite large, as I tend to like cases that are "filled" so to say. My old system contained a 5820K and an E-ATX Asus Edition 10 Motherboard. For my new build, I've decided to turn to the opposite direction towards ITX. I picked the Shift X due to its overall design. Its physical shape and dual pane glass design are unlike anything else currently on the market. I must say, after unboxing a Corsair 760T and an NZXT S340, Phanteks does a very good job at packaging the Shift X. Case pictures: CPU/Mobo: For the CPU, I needed something significantly more powerful than my 5820K. Ill eventually be rendering videos, as well as running multiple VMs. As for the motherboard, i figured that since i was spending so much, I might as well get the best of the best. A plus: the Asus Z390-I supports two m.2 slots, which I'm planning on populating CPU/Mobo pictures: GPU: I'm planning on Hackintoshing this system when it's completed. Nvidia isn't officially supported by Apple, which causes some issues when one is trying to install OSX. As a result, I decided to pick up the most powerful (non-commercial) AMD GPU out there. The Vega FE with its glorious 16 gigabytes of HBM2 memory. Bottoms up to OSX compatibility! GPU pictures: STORAGE: I'll be taking advantage of m.2 speeds when scrubbing through 4k footage. I've purchased a Synology NAS (yet to arrive) that I will be using as (a) photo/video dump/storage. Currently, I've received one of my two 970 EVO 2TB m.2 sticks. That's right. Ill being using two 2 Terabyte Samsung m.2 drives. I'll be putting a low profile m.2 heatsink on the drive on the rear of the motherboard. Storage photographs: That does it for all the parts I have currently. Hopefully, I'll be able to get another update out in a couple of days when more parts arrive. I'm quite busy with school at the moment, as it's finals week. As a result, I may, but will probably not be able to update this over the weekday. What I need from you guys: I'm still not sure about using 12mil vs 16mil acrylic tubing. I swung by Microcenter today and looked at sizings. 12mil looks extremely small, almost like a straw. Any suggestions/comments, in general, would be more than helpful That's it for now! See you in the next update!

Found a Vega FE card for $400 in my area, is it worth it? Will be playing games at 1440p.

Is a Vega FE for $360 a good buy
