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
Vega is too little (or priced a bit high)
Mediocrity powered by hype
Verdict
Needs Manufacturers to factory OC and apply some shiny spinners or nice WC Option
Otherwise one year old alternatives can be purchased today with better clocks at a sligh
High TDP and power requirements versus competing Nvidia cards
At the end of the day our comments and statements made in our launch evaluation hold true in regards to 4K gameplay performance on AMD Radeon RX Vega 64. The AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 is a great and competitive 1440p video card. It allows ultra-settings at 14...
Abstract: Over the weekend we started seeing stories that AMD Radeon Vega 64 air cooled models could get 43.5 MH/s at just 130 Watts of power when mining Ethereum using Claymore's miner. It seems a bunch of sites picked up the story of a Reddit user that was able t...
This has been quite an interesting exploration for us, evaluating the overclocked $699 Gigabyte RX Vega 64 liquid cooled edition versus the overclocked $549 GTX 1080 FE. Both cards overclock decently, with the RX Vega 64 gaining a very nice memory overclo...

Well I have to say that although I haven't had a chance to check out the multiplayer action yet, I was pleasantly surprised with what I found in the beta experience of Destiny 2. The game looks great, plays well and it's already significantly more polishe...

Given the slightly underhanded way in which AMD launched the Vega at one price point so that the launch reviews were written under the misapprehension that the card was £449 when it's actually £549, we won't do our usual thing of not really taking the pri...

Bringing this review to a close, if it feels like Vega has been a long time coming, it's not just your imagination. AMD first unveiled the Vega name 17 months ago, and it was 7 months ago when we got our first peek into the Vega architecture. So today's l...
Matches GTX 1080 performance, Enhanced Sync works amazingly well, FreeSync at no increased monitor cost, New instructions, packed math, primitive shaders, Simplified tuning profiles in WattMan, HBCC, Dual BIOS, Backplate included, HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1

The AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 Black (reference design) is expected to retail for $499. Matches GTX 1080 performance Enhanced Sync works amazingly well FreeSync at no increased monitor cost New instructions, packed math, primitive shaders Simplified tuning...
Competitive with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080, Radeon Packs may add sweetener for some potential buyers
High TDP and power requirements versus competing Nvidia cards, Lags behind the GTX 1080 on some titles, especially at resolutions below 4K
On pure performance, AMD's Radeon RX Vega 64 trades blows with Nvidia's GeForce GTX 1080, and it's priced in line with that card. But, in this slice of the video-card market, power requirements and TDP ratings lean heavily in Nvidia's favor. Read More...
