Got rid of 390 crossfire, it's absolutely gash and has been for over a year now. Already had a 1440p 144hz freesync screen so jumped on vega 64. Just waiting now for full cover from EK to go back on water.

Can't be bothered to be honest...but will definitely do if for some reason they pull another silly excuse and don't deliver tomorrow

Although if you re-enabled crossfire and used all the Pro Duo then it'd be a 25% reduction in performance? (A little bit hit 'n' miss in games I guess though)
I am tempted in a Vega 64 AIO though, once they're not 1080Ti prices...
Furmark is the worst for heating up the cpu - will virtually always throttle.

This liquid edition runs at 1980mhz if I put the power limit to 50%
Edit: its a bug with heaven its 1752mhz in gpu-z

You beat me slightly - probably due to faster o/c on Ryzen and faster RAM -
3DMark Score 5908
Graphics Score 5951
Physics Score 20520
Combined Score 2785

Just had a play of Shadow Warrior 2. This game was giving me problems on my Fury X, fluctuating between 35 and 60 FPS in general game play but dropping below 30 when surrounded by enemies on occasion. Now getting between 67 and 90 in general game play and seem to hold above 60 when surrounded although I did see it drop to 57 once. Really happy with that and feels so much smoother. A gorgeous looking game is Shadow Warrior 2.

Do you know how we can measure the power draw ourselves? I'm a bit scared to allow the full extra power in Wattman on my 850 PSU...And apparently hits near 500 watts
Is there much improvement in performance?
Theres a plug power meter thing you can buy that you plug your psu power cable into the plug into the wall, it shows the usage on an lcd but its for total system power. Pc-per have some kind of adapter that plugs into the pci-e slot with the card on top plugged into that which lets them measure power draw for the card only.

Ah ok thanks. I thought there may have been some application that showed it or that it even existed in something like Afterburner or CAM that I hadn't found. Not that simple then...
Is there a way of roughly calculating the power draw of the rest of my system excluding the card? Are there listings somewhere of the power draw of the individual components in my system?
Updated score - boosted STATE7 CPU from 1750 to 1980MHz
and STATE3 MEM from 975 to 1100MHz
3DMark Score 6090

Boosting CPU didnt change the score - in fact it went down from 5908 to 5903 - only when the MEM also went up did the score go up - by 180+
and STATE3 MEM from 975 to 1100MHz

I have the Corsair AX750 and I'm running the Vega at 1980Mhz/1100MHz along with a Ryzen 1800X @ 4GHz but little else other than a 2TB M.2 SSD and it seems fine.
And apparently hits near 500 watts

Not until you increase the STATE3 RAM speed as well to 1100MHz - my FireStrike Ultra score at default 1750/975 was 5908 but went down to 5903 at 1980/975 - but upto 6090 at 1980/1100 - no idea what the power is and don't care. See posts above.
Also was in Custom mode with +50% power limit.

That's a healthy overclock - I'll see if I get mine up to that tomorrow. I have 4 drives in my system; 1x HDD, 2x SSD and 1x M.2 SSD. Also running a wifi card and an PCIe adapter card to allow for the extra SSD - no idea what kind of power those will be taking up?
I suppose at the end of the day the worst case scenario is that the PSU safety mechanism kicks in and reboots the system - it's not enough it's going to blow up if there is more power than it can take... right?

Oh dear
As if this launch couldn't be any more of a cluster ****, release a card for review and not have all the features enabled.
Soldato
Oh dear
All aboard the hype train again....get 'em turned on for 1080ti performance
A number of reviewers complained that overclocking wasn't working in the review BIOS and AMD didn't send out a revised one for reviewers to flash until Sunday night lol.

Sadly about par for almost ALL AMD launches - Ryzen was the same with them releasing a decent CPU but buggy motherboards and hardly any stock. The RX480 had the same issue with the reference model having niggles,and then Fury X having QC problems,etc.
