hey everybody how's it going welcome to Paul's Hardware today's video is an unboxing that's kind of what my life is now like Fox's show up usually they're from AMD I take him out of the box I show you guys before I begin I want to start off by dedicating this video to Steve from gamers Nexus Steve he's kind of like one of those characters who's just a little bit on the I'm a grumpy side sometimes you know he's like he's like Scrooge in A Christmas Story or something like that but Steve hates unboxings he thinks they're awful and they're useless I thought that if you guys maybe reached out to Steve you could share maybe this unboxing with him and perhaps bring some love and joy for unboxings back into his heart that he can just stay focused on actually doing useful stuff with the things he unboxers but them all right you guys probably already know it's in these it's probably in the cytolysis form AMD this is probably gonna be Vega spoiler alert but I got two boxes I'm going to start off with the bigger one here because this one showed up first and if you can't tell I already kind of opened it but I've kind of put it back together so you guys can have the unboxing experience too AMD has Vega on the horizon it's supposed to be launching very soon and here in the box inside the box is a box inside a box doesn't look like as much hell's going on in that outer box I did remember my spider coat today I was able to find it thankfully so let's dive right into this one see he put some type as I reveal write it right from the get-go Radeon rx Vega this feels it feels very plush I feel like AMD has been doing a lot more work or they've been putting a lot more work into there like engineering samples and the stuff they study that's reviews that's always inside later though here's the box now this box according to what AMD has told us is not the box that you're going to get if you buy Vega at retail this is a special design box that suggested for reviewers but you will be able to get at least the card that's inside here on the top though we got the rx Vega logo bring gaming to life system requirements are on this side it does say a minimum 750 watt system power supply with two eight playing graphics connectors this is a by 16 lot eight gigs of the HBM to memory in there 16 gigs of system memory recommended Linux Windows 7 or Windows 10 and you do want a 64-bit operating system do people still even use non 64-bit operating systems and not sure that guys like this rubberized texture kind of going across the entire top of this thing it does have a Vega logo there on one side actually on both sides and then the Radeon Vega logo 3d @rx Vega which is right there on the top as well so this kind of opens up like this with a flat in the front and over the top and then off the sides as well it's hard to say which way is up too though the whole thing just kind of opens up and lays flat I guess on the desk kinda like that so let's start off with this guy right in the middle this is our Vega Radeon Vega cube which doesn't look like the reactive one like the one that Linus got this is more of just an actual acrylic cube with the Vega logo suspended in the middle I can't I'm curious if this if you could set this on top of something and have light kind of go up through it or something like that but it is pretty cool looking and it well at the very least look very nice next to my life thread Ripper acrylic panel thing so that's coming soon I don't think there's anything else tucked away under this panel right here or behind this panel this is all foam we do have a little booklet right over here that says Radeon rx Vega bring gaming to life and a little flip book action here until now game developers have been shackled by hardware limitations unable to witness the full extent of their imaginations very Marchetti vague is disruptive and there's pictures and look they have a picture of the unboxing experience that I just did I guess in case I miss anything stuff about drivers and system requirements Sansa's look at that like a hand of somebody apparently there's a there's a demon hidden inside the Vega logo that reaches out grasping to suck the life out of competing graphics cards I guess not really sure alright and this is where the graphics card self is we've got one more little tucked-away piece on the side here with oh well that's kind of fun so we got the bring gaming to life Vega wristband I should probably put that on and then in here we have an actual Vega GPU this is a dummy GPU so it's not actually functional so kind of similar to what they did with a thread Ripper they're actually sending out even got the balls on the bottom it's except spider balls on the bottom as a BGA actual Vega chip right there so you can see the HBM two stacks right there an actual Vega die that's really cool to have I feel like I should find a case or something like that to put this in as well yeah now though some stickers are also included in here and that does seem to be just about it but that's a really cool add-on I really like having a dummy GPU dies like just have around for size comparisons and they're just the fun thing to have it you don't get some holes on to very often all right now the actual GPU inside this little case right here and I do I have the air cooled version of Vegas 64 right here oh yeah and again just really plush a packaging here that AMD has put together for this reviewers kit and there we can see the Vegas 64 GPU and all of its glory this is the air cooled Edition with the blower style fan again which you guys probably have already seen maybe a little bit since we already kind of showed this at the unboxing events that they had about a week and a half ago there's a GPU tack on that side so you can actually see when the system is under load there's a visual indication indicator if it right there you can switch those gp2 tach lights between red and blue so you can have it match up with your system lighting a little bit more if that's something that you want to go for and then for video outs over again this end we have a three display port as well as a full size HDMI and a black back plate as well which I think looks pretty cool there so there's a quick look at the Radeon Vega 64 o'doole 810 PCI Express graphics power connectors as well right in there and I am going to get this installed start testing it right away also there's a little pixel or if you want to say it properly a voxel right there a volumetric pixel with the Radeon logo it's on that corner as well and a really cool looking card hopefully it's actually cool as well when it's actually tested and everything like that but now that that's out of the box I have one more to deal with all right box number one is handled let's move on to Fox number two this one was slightly less expected I think they were talking about getting Vegas 56 out to people this one's going to be a bit more reasonably priced it's going to be 400 bucks assuming of course people to find them at that price after launch actually happens and we'll see cards get bought up by like plain miners or that kind of thing but in the meantime at least we are going to give you guys benchmarks when when we're allowed to publish them but this one is obviously a little bit more like it doesn't have quite the same plush packaging and everything but you know it an early kit I am I'm still stuck either way that I not only have the Vegas 64 but I've also got the Vegas 56 and with this one since we have the standard edition rather than the limited edition we can actually give you a little side-by-side comparison of the two there's a quick side-by-side Vegas 64 Vegas 56 limited edition non limited edition the non limited edition looks very similar to what they did with the feejee cards originally doesn't look bad at all definitely by any stretch a lot simpler design as far as it's got just sort of a plain black aesthetic for most of it a bit of texture on the top as we have also seen before but blower style ooh again and we're not expecting that the non special edition cards are going to perform any less than the special edition cards it's just you don't get that brushed metal finish on the outside and all that good stuff you do so get functionally all the same stuff though so you know again dual a pin power connectors there at the top the GPU tech lights with LEDs that you can again turn on or off or switch between blue and red and then just sort of a simpler design overall with a little bit more plastic involved than the metal that you get on the special edition and then you do get the same video outs at the bottom but again you don't get the black backplate on there so you know just just doesn't look quite as fancy as a special edition dual item power connectors you know you wouldn't expect anything different there I either and then like that's all I can tell you guys about these cards right now I wish I could go into more depth for these I can just not right now and I can't even really tell you guys when that's going to happen either but guys I think in the interest of getting some work done on these I'm going to switch over to benchmarking mode and start working on them I will be bringing you some content on these with some benchmarks very soon as soon as I'm allowed to and of course before I go a quick reminder just to let Steve know that unboxings aren't completely useless like you guys watch this video and I bet you're smarter now I bet you know more things and I bet your opinions of Vega have been greatly impacted by the fact that I just took these out of the box and showed them to you right anyway if you did enjoy this video hit the thumbs up
