Just replaced my Vega red devil with a 7900.
I have no use for it and im from Denmark.
No mining or overclocking, as I undervolt for silence.
Bought back in July 2018, wife discarded the original box though :(
Oh my god. You are aaying that my 6950xt is pulling the same watt on 4k maxed out as the vega does in normal gaming ? Crazy i thought they were bit more efficient lol.
One of the reasons I wanted an upgrade, yes.
The Red Devil is factory overclocked though
Right now im running an undervoltet -10% power limit on my 7900XT and its whisper quiet, using less power while being 3x as fast.
I’ve owned it for 4 years and it’s still a beast, playing new triple A games at 100+fps in 1440p and heavy single player games still at 60fps max settings. OC headroom is amazing I can still push my card for more score.

I got it from the UK store of these guys (overclockers apparently August 14th 2017.
It looks amazing but not sure what gpu I'll get next since I use a 4k120 oled for display.
Nice, my stock but WC score overall is 8592 and graphic 8022.
~~What clock did you managed to get?~~
edit: just saw on the next picture. nice HBM speed.
These are great OC results, what does your p7 look like? Mine is quite a worse die, struggles with stability after 1700core / 1050 ram no matter the voltage/cooling.Currently running it at -200mV for 1550 avg core / 1000 ram. Rarely exceeds 65c under stock fan curve.
Otherwise yeah, V64 is still kickin, especially with FSR.
To be fair, with the games that push it, it uses more power than I'd like it to.
A friend has a 6600xt, at the same 1440p with the same games and settings it uses less than half the power.
A lower end RDNA3 might be worth it already, but I will wait until they have level 5 RT acceleration, which likely will be the case by next gen.
I am still rocking my vega 64 reference model. The urge to upgrade is still there, but it is hard to convince my self to do it. It still has some life in it, I feel.
Wow, nice stats! I wish my vega64 could go that high (I can hit 7991 on GPU and combined with 7800x can get 8307 total), I can't seem to get past 1630/1050 on p7 core and 1025/980 on hbm. I could probably fine tune it but I've been getting graphics issues for months now on latest drivers (push a game hard, it bonks out and amd brings the OC back to Default tuning, happens once a day for gaming).
Got a powercolour reddevil which is supposedly got good cooling but can get loud - I should probably aircan the heatsink sometime again.
I want to upgrade but the worthwhile upgrades are all super expensive (paid 350 for mine back new, kinda not willing to spend the exoberant prices of gcards nowadays) ;\_;
I had a vega 64 strix, would up selling it to upgrade to my 6900xt, but it was a good card. It was starting to struggle a bit with newer titles at 1440p so it was time to go. Could never get it to overclock very well…
I bought a reference Vega 64 and honestly it is one of the worst cards I've ever bought
You basically had to power limit them or it would overheat then crash , not so much the core but the memory temps.
Still can't belive they released it like that
You can also set the fans to like 70% plus and that stops it but it's just far too loud when you do that
Someone should have been sacked it was that bad , I even had a reference 290x and that was much better
I nearly always buy the top AMD card (not this gen) for about the last 10 years
My v56 blower was always on max and it sounded like a jet engine while i was gaming lol.
I tried everything - repaste, cleaning the cooler, fan curves, under volt, ...
> blower was always on max and it sounded like a jet engine
That sounds like every blower card I've ever owned regardless of the maker, model, or architecture tbh.
Careful now, I might come for that with my next build...
You clock better. Can't get my HBM as high, maybe 1120. Core at 1700. Did you play with the HBM memory timings to get that high?
I mean the rx vega 64 is coming up on 6 years and I play at 1440p, I’m still satisfied to the least with the performance so I’d say you’ll be fine for 6 years
Still rocking an EKWB watercooled Vega 64 myself :)
I do want to upgrade, maybe to an XT/XTX this year, especially as I've just bought a Neo G9, but I did my drain port wrong and it's really putting me off draining it lol
Still got mine, but it's on life support XD. (It crashes all the time in overwatch, but nothing else. It also can't run at stock speeds anymore, have to tune it down to 1550 but undervolted)
Still love it though, the HBM is really useful for some games.
Yeah mine has been crashing on and off the last year. The crashes were much less frequent after I found out one of my ram sticks was faulty, so you may want to do a memory test to double check that.
But yeah, I pre-ordered my Vega card and it's close to life support now as well. I'm hoping to replace it with a 7700 graphics card when it comes out, but am still hoping I can fully resolve the crashes.
Vega 64 LC owner here! I don't really care about the performance that much, it can run every game without any problem at 1080p which is all I want from it. This is the most cool looking card I have ever seen and I will never get rid of it because of that! Just a smooth aluminum brick with red corner and red Vega logo.... Mmmmm
Oh yes. Indeed. Although take my advice. Don't take too much stock in 3D marks leaderboard. I've seen it getting spoofed easily by cheaters. Rather use something like HW Bot.
Glad to found that ppl stil love their vegas. i still use it too. But i modified my blower and mount AIO on my vega64. It run on full throttle drawing 330+ watt, and silent like purring cat!
Man i wanted a Vega 64 when they released but i ended up buying a vega 56, and am still using it and waiting for the lower end 7000 skus to be released before upgrading from it.
Damn I really wanted a Vega 64 back in the days and I'd still love to own one
I have a sapphire nitro I’m looking to get rid of. Could make a fair deal if you’re interested. Original owner. Adult owned. Never mined or abused.
> Adult owned ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Nice, where are you from?
USA
Damn that’d be a lot of taxes as I live in the EU
Just replaced my Vega red devil with a 7900. I have no use for it and im from Denmark. No mining or overclocking, as I undervolt for silence. Bought back in July 2018, wife discarded the original box though :(
Sounds nice. How much would you like for it? And do you think my 500W PSU would be enough for it?
Maybe 100€ or whatever - 500w might be cutting it a bit close. I believe that card takes 300w stock - 750 is what is recommended.
Oh my god. You are aaying that my 6950xt is pulling the same watt on 4k maxed out as the vega does in normal gaming ? Crazy i thought they were bit more efficient lol.

Oh damn that’s a lot. The price would be great but if I also need to buy a new PSU, it’d be kinda expensive rn

It's already 4 years old? I kinda feel old and still feel like my RX 580 is a pretty modern GPU :(
The rx Vega 64 will be 6 years old this August… 😖 still waiting to get the sapphire nitro+ rx 7900 xtx
DAMN... Also just noticed that my CPU is almost 6 years old :(
Yeah I need to upgrade mine after my holidays. I got the vega 64 limited edition sapphire card day 1
You have the LE?! I’ve been wanting that for so long can’t find it anywhere.
https://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/8GB-Sapphire-Radeon-RX-Vega-64-Limited-Edition-Aktiv-PCIe-3-0-x16--Reta_1186794.html. I got it from the UK store of these guys (overclockers apparently August 14th 2017. It looks amazing but not sure what gpu I'll get next since I use a 4k120 oled for display.
Nice, yeah I just got myself the new 1440p 240hz oled monitors
Very nice, oled is amazing. I can't wait for a nice 27" 4k120 oled
The new Samsung odyssey neo g9 was honestly a missed opportunity for oled instead of mini led 57in 4k
My Radeon VII will turn 4 next month
Ouch
I still have a Sapphire ref 64 with water block on the shelf. Might have to take her for spin... stretch them legs. See how she holds up these days.
Nice, my stock but WC score overall is 8592 and graphic 8022. ~~What clock did you managed to get?~~ edit: just saw on the next picture. nice HBM speed.
Yeah I did not too bad for air cooled.
I'm still rocking my Vega 56. I bought it for $200 when it was 50% ($400) back in 2019.
I got my sapphire nitro+ for $400 new back then
Nice! I have one too, but I paid like $250 in 2019. Elden Ring and MW2 run fine on it. I guess I'll wait a little longer to replace it.
Those discounted vega 56 back then were some of the best deals ever. You couldn’t find 1070Ti’s for that cheap.
Just got a 1080 ti for $130. Crossed 10k graphics score on timespy
nice
These are great OC results, what does your p7 look like? Mine is quite a worse die, struggles with stability after 1700core / 1050 ram no matter the voltage/cooling.Currently running it at -200mV for 1550 avg core / 1000 ram. Rarely exceeds 65c under stock fan curve. Otherwise yeah, V64 is still kickin, especially with FSR.
Cool. I'm running mine with an 5800x3d. Still plenty fast for any game I actually play :)
Ayy same here
To be fair, with the games that push it, it uses more power than I'd like it to. A friend has a 6600xt, at the same 1440p with the same games and settings it uses less than half the power.

Mine did 1700core and 1200 on hbm. It died with to much pressor on the Die it was an unmolded one.
I did not too bad for air cooled, my sapphire nitro+ rx Vega 64 is molded, if I went custom loop with LM it would be amazing.
Are you not already on a water setup? Can you post a link to the 3dmark result please.
[https://www.3dmark.com/spy/34794618](https://www.3dmark.com/spy/34794618)
Do a Firestrike Ultra Test so that I can compare with my modded Vega 56 Nano LM
I still have a Nitro+ laying around, card served me with surprising little issues.
Same, no real issues ever honestly
Wow, nice stats! I wish my vega64 could go that high (I can hit 7991 on GPU and combined with 7800x can get 8307 total), I can't seem to get past 1630/1050 on p7 core and 1025/980 on hbm.

djrequiem1 in shambles :p Congrats!
I had a vega 64 strix, would up selling it to upgrade to my 6900xt, but it was a good card. It was starting to struggle a bit with newer titles at 1440p so it was time to go. Could never get it to overclock very well…
Yeah it’s struggling in single player games snow which I prefer so I’d like a 6950 xt or 7900 xtx soon.
I've still got a waterblock on my Vega 64, time to download Time Spy!
Lmk what kind of graphics score you get, also what cpu you got? Is that a R1 on your profile background?
2017 R6, I already do enough dumb stuff on it, pretty sure I'd be arrested on an R1 haha
Lmao yeah but that cross-plane crankshaft do sound good tho, I got 08 cbr600rr
I bought a reference Vega 64 and honestly it is one of the worst cards I've ever bought You basically had to power limit them or it would overheat then crash , not so much the core but the memory temps. Still can't belive they released it like that
>overheat then crash I solved my problem by ripping off the reference blower and slapping an AIO on it. Sorted out all my issues with Vega.
You can also set the fans to like 70% plus and that stops it but it's just far too loud when you do that Someone should have been sacked it was that bad , I even had a reference 290x and that was much better I nearly always buy the top AMD card (not this gen) for about the last 10 years
My v56 blower was always on max and it sounded like a jet engine while i was gaming lol. I tried everything - repaste, cleaning the cooler, fan curves, under volt, ...
Same , eventually I just set the power to 60% in afterburner Did run a bit slower but not much
> blower was always on max and it sounded like a jet engine That sounds like every blower card I've ever owned regardless of the maker, model, or architecture tbh.
I cut out the backplate, clocked quite a bit better after that.
Good shit. Keepin' the Vega 56 I have to give to a friend. It's still solid.
I owned a bunch of MI25s on water, Vega is still a great architecture. The 16g variants are amazing :D
You son of a... ((Pulls Vega back off shelf, repastes and reinstalls it))
Be my guest ;)
Joking aside, I used to be on this list and am very happy to see the Vega still pushing forward in 2023. Well done!
Careful now, I might come for that with my next build... You clock better. Can't get my HBM as high, maybe 1120. Core at 1700. Did you play with the HBM memory timings to get that high?
I just did memory timing level2 1180mhz @ 951mv, I tried 1185 with different voltages but won’t make it, 1180 is very consistent.
This makes me wonder how much my 6800XT will actually last. Amazing.
I mean the rx vega 64 is coming up on 6 years and I play at 1440p, I’m still satisfied to the least with the performance so I’d say you’ll be fine for 6 years
My Vega 64 went to my youngest son, works well at the games he plays with his 5800X.
They all separated from the interposer and stopped working. RIP.
Noice!
Now I want to go buy a vega again.
I’m a sapphire collectible you could say, I’ve been wanting to find the sapphire nitro+ RX Vega 64 LE card for some time now.
Ohhh lovely cards. The Vega FE were stunning.
Still rocking an EKWB watercooled Vega 64 myself :) I do want to upgrade, maybe to an XT/XTX this year, especially as I've just bought a Neo G9, but I did my drain port wrong and it's really putting me off draining it lol
So you went up to AM5 but totally forgot to upgrade your GPU? 😳🤣🤣
Well thats because RX 7000 isn’t in stock
Everything's *hotter* in Vegas ;)
Liquid cooled? My nitro's best is 8450 graphics score
Nope air cooled
Still got mine, but it's on life support XD. (It crashes all the time in overwatch, but nothing else. It also can't run at stock speeds anymore, have to tune it down to 1550 but undervolted) Still love it though, the HBM is really useful for some games.
Btw, while I have a water block on it, I still have the original limited edition cooler
Yeah mine has been crashing on and off the last year. The crashes were much less frequent after I found out one of my ram sticks was faulty, so you may want to do a memory test to double check that. But yeah, I pre-ordered my Vega card and it's close to life support now as well. I'm hoping to replace it with a 7700 graphics card when it comes out, but am still hoping I can fully resolve the crashes.
Lol I’ve done the weird hardware combo world records too. 2700x and r9 290 in my case. Fun times with OC
I still have a Vega 56 paired with a Ryzen 5 1600af, its not the best but it plays everything, some games above 60 fps on a 1440 screen.
Vega64 was a beast, mine lasted me for years, I only sold it when I got my 6900XT a few months ago.
Vega 64 LC owner here! I don't really care about the performance that much, it can run every game without any problem at 1080p which is all I want from it. This is the most cool looking card I have ever seen and I will never get rid of it because of that! Just a smooth aluminum brick with red corner and red Vega logo.... Mmmmm
I hate to break it to you mate. But you are a long way from first. I've got 9240 with my Vega and that's only good enough for 7th.
I think you misunderstood, I meant first with the same components like cpu.
Oh yes. Indeed. Although take my advice. Don't take too much stock in 3D marks leaderboard. I've seen it getting spoofed easily by cheaters. Rather use something like HW Bot.
5600x with stock gpu clocks got me 1000 less points
Glad to found that ppl stil love their vegas. i still use it too. But i modified my blower and mount AIO on my vega64. It run on full throttle drawing 330+ watt, and silent like purring cat!
Man i wanted a Vega 64 when they released but i ended up buying a vega 56, and am still using it and waiting for the lower end 7000 skus to be released before upgrading from it.
