Hello everyone, looking around at a amazon-like local website I came across a MSI RX Vega 64 Wave at $329 new, and I'm wondering if at that price point it's worth it, I'm looking forward to build a CAD/rendering first machine with an 8086k, and gaming second, I'll also would like to maybe convert it to a hackintosh at some point. I was actually planning to go for a cheap version RTX 2080 ti, but this Vega 64 at this price point seems like a really good value to me. Any advice is welcome!

Vega will work better with macOS than just about anything Turing-based as far as I know.

Even if/what nVidia gives us Turing drivers for macOS, they won't be as good as AMD's if we look at history.

 

That's a really good deal OP.

Brands I wholeheartedly reccomend (though do have flawed products): Apple, Razer, Corsair, Asus, Gigabyte, bequiet!, Noctua, Fractal, GSkill (RAM only)

2080ti is nearly twice as powerful as a vega 64...so it depends if you need/want that extra performance or not wheter 330$ for an old AMD card is worth it to you...

I am keeping it mind that the 2080 ti it's immensely faster than a V64, but it's also way more expensive. Vega VII would be the best choice but sadly it's not available on local stores. The system it's supposed to last at least 5 years, the real question is if the Vega 64 is a good card kind of by itself, without comparisons and would be usable for the next 5 years.
