I’m really curious if you guys to do some working benchmarks like what your planning with the WX7100 for this card since I was planning on grabbing it vs the Titan XP as a hybrid workstation-gaming card for 3D modeling, animation and unreal. I’d love to see how these two compare!
If the planets align I just might get my Nitro Vega 56 in two weeks, so it’s exciting to see one of these cards. But I dare not expect it, as card manufacturers were apparently completely out of Vega shipments from AMD for months. Knock on wood.
Like as stated in the video, I also wouldn’t push the clocks on a card like this. I’d be curious to see if even with Sapphires latest BIOS profiles there might still be some room for undervolting.
Ive always had a huge liking for Sapphire cards, ever since I won a 1440p monitor with freesync I’ve been hoping for a nice AMD card to come out, that I can put in an ITX case like the Phanteks Shift, sadly I dont think this card will stay cool in it, guess ill keep waiting
@wendell Has the sleep/reset Vega bug been fixed for guests then?
I’ve had my Nitro+ for a while and I had a lot of trouble with the drivers on Windoze and multiple monitors. Windoze would just reset on boot if I hade more than one screen connected. Seems to have been fixed in driver 18.2.x though. Linux worked a lot better. I had a few deadlocks on 4.15 when opening tabs(wtf?). 4.16 release candidates seem solid so far.
I should get around trying Looking Glass sometime soon but it’s so nice not having to bother with the Nvidia blob…
So I just got the ‘nitro 64’ and am noticing some issues right away and was wondering if anyone had some insight.
Stock settings the clock is only topping out at 1450 ish gpu speeds and the vram is almost always at 800-900.
I’m using the card paired with a fx8350 set at regular speeds and 1866 ram.
All the games are being run 1080 ultra enhanced V-sync on a freesync 144 monitor.
Card consistently runs at around 52-60 centigrade in 80-85 Fahrenheit 40-45% humidity under gaming loads.
So obviously the first thing I did was run a game to see my fancy new FPS, that game turned out to be WoW BFA prepatch. Which is now set permanently to windowed full screen or windowed mode. I can’t manage to find out why but my power draw never exceeds 5-45 watts on the card during gameplay. Running at about 25-50 FPS in new dalaran at 45 degrees centigrade on a 30 watt average was kinda neat none the less.
Bf4 yields better results with 100-180 power draw pumping out 140-154 FPS on the new enhanced sync with a free sync monitor. Full screen mode with mantle disabled. Mantle was actually crashing and then preventing the game from booting. Some maps saw lower frames in the 80-130 range with lots of vehicles.
Rainbow 6 siege again drawing about what bf4 runs but much less consistency here. Pulling an average of 89 FPS or so with massive dips down to 45 at the lower end and average dips in the 60 fps range.
So my issues here are frame dips and the lack of performance or even power draw on windowed games, since in the future I will be connecting my other 2-5 monitors and possibly another card for ports.
wait, are you suggesting the 8350 is making the card only draw 45 watts in bfa prepatch? So I can just drop a pentium 2 in and then and it will pull more juice?
but… what are we gonna see this year in graphic card releases ?
