I got a Vega 64 2 days ago and i've been having power issues such as daisy chaining the card off of 1 single cable to my cooler master V650 psu rather than 2 seperate cables. I'm having some "was it worth it" thoughts because i seen navi is been announced may 27th and maybe those cards could be faster than the vega 64 and more power effcienct. I got the v64 because i was inpatient to wait and now i have thoughts of regret in getting it should i return it and wait for navi or keep the vega 64?? Upgrading from a RX 480 4GB

The Vega 64's MINIMUM PSU requirements are a 650w gold rated PSU with 2 distinct 12v rails. You just need a better PSU.

That is, um, not really an important factor. There are better bronze PSUs than some gold ones. 

The ability to google properly is a skill of its own.

Won't matter, you will still need to run 2 separate cables from the PSU if you get a NAVI.

 

There is no way around it unless you really downgrade your performance A LOT.

 

All the high end high power GPU's need two PCIe cables.
