Solid performance across the board. 8GB of HBM 2 memory should prove useful in the long term. Matches the current performance value king
The GTX 1070
Which is no small feat. Modern DX12 architecture. Freesync gaming
Yea
The editors didn't like
Poor availability and thus pricing. AMD's aircooled RX Vega 64 reference card is ~5% slower than the GTX 1080 FE despite being hotter
Louder and using more power (though we have high hopes for custom cards)
Large and power-hungry
Conclusion
Higher power consumption than GTX 1070
Cooling fan is loud under load
Uncertain value given volatile pricing
Lags behind the GTX 1070 on some titles (a few older games at 1080p
In our tests)
High TDP and power requirements versus competing Nvidia cards
High power requirements
No DVI port
Higher power draw than comparable NVIDIA cards
Noisy
Coil noise at high FPS
Fan does not stop in idle
Vega seems to be less efficient than Nvidia's Pascal. We were expecting a bit more from the late challenger

The R3 2200G offers highly competitive performance at its price and, ultimately, really has no immediate competition. At $100, the CPU offers 78-85% of the performance of the R5 2400G at 58% of the price. Not bad at all. We can strongly recommend the R3 2...
