ASUS STRIX Radeon RX Vega 64 8GB Graphics Card Review

Acoustic, Thermal and Power Testing


Acoustic Performance

It comes as no surprise that the VEGA 64 is completely silent while idle, as it has a zero RPM mode. That’s great news for day to day work. However, while gaming, it’s still pretty competitive, with a max dBa of just 44, which is not too shabby.

Thermal Performance

that card does run noticeably hotter than most though, but this is an unfortunate side effect we’ve come to expect of AMD GPUs over the years; all the more reason for the STRIX’s aftermarket cooler.

Power Usage

Performance was obviously between the 1070 and 1080 aftermarket cards, but the power draw is a fair bit higher, using more than Fury X and less than 1080 Ti. That is a shame, and something we hope will improve in future models.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
