today's video is brought to you by we do I don't know about you but I could definitely use some management in my life we do does this although a sleek fun and intuitive interface and best of all it's a totally free app take Vance whatsup glad to see you guys back from the channel now today we have something really really nice going on 29 total test of the RX Vegas 64 liquid-cooled Edition this is the gigabyte version of the card which honestly looks quite a bit like the reference model so we have 27 games to synthetic test will tell you what test isn't we tested it on how we got to our results the temps and everything else and at the end of the day you guys can tell me and tell yourself as well whether you think this card is worth your hard in cash so with that said let's jump in let's check out the card the test system and then let's check out those performance numbers the gigabyte rx Vegas 64 liquid cool edition looks exactly like the reference cards that you saw on launched I only it has a liquid cooler now there are however a couple of differences between the liquid cooled version and the air cooled version and they are these now you're going from 295 Watts up to 345 watts on the liquid cooled version and we also see that the base and boost clock speeds are also increased the liquid cooled version also has a 120 millimeter fan and radiator so it should have fit in just about any system alright tech fan so here you guys can see the system that we use for all the testing in today's video it contains an Intel Core i7 now this thing is run at 4.6 gigahertz with turbo boost constantly on and the motherboard using this test system was the asrock z170 em and it was flashed the latest bios before testing 16 gigabytes of ddr4 memory from kingston running at 3333 megahertz and also as well as the gigabyte RX vega 64 liquid cool addition we also tested two different founders edition cards the 8 gigabyte gtx 1080 and the 11 gigabyte gtx ten atti now as far as the test configuration software goes we use the latest version of Windows 10 with all the patches and we use three different drivers for the video card testing for the GTX 1080 we use the 384 0.94 driver for the gtx 1080i we use the 3/8 5.2 8 driver and for the Vega we use the latest driver which is a 17-point 30 alright folks so there you have it the test system the card itself and its features but now real quick before we jump into the benchmarks let's hear a word from today's sponsor we do we do as an app that can help you manage almost every aspect of your life especially if

benchmark song and let's check out those benches all right Tech fans so there you have it now you guys can see that no word in any of the scores does this card actually beat a GTX 10 atti now that said a gtx 1080i liquid-cooled and this card liquid-cooled are pretty much identical in price so as far as me like saying hey man go out and buy this card I honestly can't do that the fact that it only beats a 1080 in some places and because you guys can see in the testing market switches back and forth between beating it and cost the same as a car that actually runs faster I just can't logically do that like I told you guys many times before I go for the best performance for my dollar and the best performance mine for my dollar at this time is still a GTX 10 atti so even after all this waiting and all the talking and hype the card is pretty much equal to a 1080 and a 1080 is a lot less money like I said before then trying to get one of these liquid cooled cards so my opinion on that is the cards nice you know it ran at 65 Celsius throughout the testing even a pretty hot area so that's a really nice thing about the card but the thing is with all the money that's going on the price increases and all the things are just going on around that and I just want to clarify one time guys I don't blame AMD for the price gouging at any of these stores but they did raise the prices by $100 on the RX Vega cards that it's a fact it's undisputed that is a known thing I'm not hating on them for that but they're still the thing is those 399 s what I told you know was what I was told it was what a card would be for the rx 56 version and it's nowhere near that and we see the rx 64 is way higher than that so unless you're just a person who's gonna buy a car because they want to have a name or I guess if you're a Meier who does mining then this might be the card for you but I have to say as far as gaming goes and stuff like that if I was going to go out right now and I was gonna buy a Vega card I would buy into 56 honestly I said it before it's right in that sweet spot it's almost as fast as the 64 I mean there is a little bit of difference in it but not enough that I feel for spending that X your money so at the end of the day you guys can see that hey the RX Vega even the liquid cool edition it swaps blows back and forth with the 1080 cannot beat a 1080i so that's where it's at I don't make these things up they are just the facts folks like usual we'll have a link down below for more information for this and also over to Marc's written review so if you guys want to see a full-blown just written review then you guys can go check out mark site where he does all that stuff he's also the guy who did all the testing on this so peace out thanks mark we
